Kars is one Turkish Town that I would definitely like to know better. This once upon a time Armenian and Russian held town, seemed a little wild at first (we later found it calmed down drastically at night) and the people looked full of character and purpose. Some Turkish towns crept up on us – …

In the late afternoon, we cruised through the empty streets of Merzouga, 560 km inland from Marrakech in Morocco. Box like earthen houses lined the meagre streets that lead to our rendezvous point on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. The Dunes of Erg Chebbi. [pinit] Waiting on the unexpectedly fine black soil were …
