Redferns on the Road
A family of three travelling the world

09/07/2025

Greece Part I ...
We were wondering what to do after Romania, when Janice mentioned sailing. This was a Tuesday morning; by Thursday we had our courses booked, on Saturday we were back on Lefkada (we visited the island back in April 2022 in our motorhome) and on Sunday we were onboard.
Janice and Gary had spoken about getting skipper's tickets to charter bareboats ... well, now thanks to and Yassir () we are holders of 2 Day Skippers and a Competent Crew certificate!
And the views, sea, warm weather and hospitality of the Ionian Islands made it even more spectacular and special!

Romania ... a new country for us. Specifically a week in Sibiu.
Thank-you you Rachel from for organising the hub! We had fun exploring the very walkable city and meeting new families.
A definite highlight was driving the Transfagarasan Highway, described by Jeremy Clarkson as "The world’s best road". We enjoyed it too ... despite driving a Dacia and not a supercar!
An even greater treat was seeing the bears on the Lake Vidrau section of the highway! The cubs were soo cute, well, maybe not their claws. And we appreciated being able to watch the bears from the safety of our car!
Unfortunately the beauty hides a darker story ... hundreds of workers are thought to have died during the construction of the highway and, despite the signs, people feed the bears resulting in sometimes deadly interactions 😞

We spent a couple of weeks visiting friends near Bath, near Plymouth, in Jersey and in London. Lots of fun activities, excellent company, new islands (Jersey) and new attractions (Rame Head Coastwatch Station, Madame Tussauds and the Millennium Bridge) ... yes, it has taken some of us 25 years to walk across it 😂 Thank you to everyone (and the sunny weather) who made it so wonderful.

After France we headed down to Porto (first trip back to Portugal since January '21; what a beautiful city) where we met up with friends and hiked a couple of days of the Portuguese Camino ... Bom Caminho! Our first, but I'm guessing not our last, camino walk.

Then it was time to relax with friends in an old mill, complete with a fast flow river right outside the living room window.

Thanks to Nishant, Debbie, Chris and Hayley for organising everything.

We've been back on the road for just over a month.
First stop France ... obligatory visit to the Eiffel Tower and then down to the Dordogne to visit friends (from when we first started our travels and whom we haven't seen in years).
Peter has a new house and Tim and Andrea have a new dog!
Plus mandatory 'then vs now' photos ... the original photo of Amelia sipping hot chocolate was taken in November 2020!

Gary recently cycled down Death Road outside La Paz! Amazing scenery, exhilarating ride and it ended at Animal Refuge where jaguars, pumas and Andean (think Paddington) Bears are being cared for.

Because of the steep slopes, the lack of guardrails, and the narrow width of the road (as little as 3 meters in some places), the road was especially dangerous for vehicular traffic. Several sections of the road are less than 3 metres (9.8 ft) wide, and due to presence of rain, fog, landslides, cascades, steep slopes and cliffs that drop more than 610 meters or 2000 feet, it is largely considered the most dangerous road in the world. It has since been replaced by a newer, two-lane asphalt road featuring guardrails and drainage systems. It is now a tourist attraction.

Last year we visited Kasane, Botswana, on the banks of the Chobe River, 970m above sea level, near the border with Zimbabwe, Namibia & Zambia, dusty, and well-known for elephants.
Recently we passed through Kasani, Peru, on the shore of Lake Titicaca, some 4000m above sea level, the border town with Bolivia, rainy, and not known for elephants (in fact we've only seen alcapas).
Southern Africa Vs South America

El carnaval cusqueño 2025!

An Andean cultural experience ... lots of dance and music ... traditional dance groups fill the Plaza de Armas with colourful costumes and choreographies that reflect the cultural richness of the region.

Plus lots of water and foam!

When we were in Egypt, we watched Mummies in the cinema. So now that they're in Peru, we had to watch Paddington In Peru. Very cute and even more relatable now that we've visited Machu Picchu.

26/02/2025

Machu Picchu!
After spending 6 weeks in the Sacred Valley it was time to visit Machu Picchu (yes, you should and remember to book your tickets in advance!)
We were not disappointed and all agree it was one of the best archeological sites we have ever visited. It also helped that the rain cleared and we had blue skies and sunshine during our visit.
While you can visit Machu Picchu as a day-trip we decided to spend 2 nights in Aguas Calientes (in the valley below the site) so that the visit wasn't rushed. Yes, it's a tourist town but we enjoyed a meal along the river and Amelia met Paddington!

17/02/2025

We're in the Sacred Valley in Peru and treated ourselves to a night in a capsule attached to a cliff above the valley. The capsules are visible above Gary's head.
What an amazing experience and what stunning views from the capsule!
We had to wear a harness and clip onto a safety wire for sections of the walk to and from the capsule. Getting ready for dinner took on a new meaning!

03/02/2025

While the ladies were completing the W-trek in , Gary was tasked with babysitting Potbelly.
It was a challenge ... Potbelly ate too much sugar, had too much screentime and even went abseiling off the end of the bed! However, she did a lesson or two and they did for for a walk along the waterfront.
There was one happy bunny when the ladies returned!
