Modica is the name of the company we work for, allowing us to work remotely from anywhere, so when we found it was also the name of a beautiful city in Sicily it seemed only sensible that we include it in our itinerary.

So glad we did, it was beautiful and it was also the home of a delicious treat that even got the boys excited to visit 🙂 -read more and see our pics by clicking on the photo or this text.

If you are wanting to get away from the cold grey winter then Malta is a Perfect choice, warm weather, blue Skies, crystal clear ocean, stunning scenery, incredible history with temples older than the Pyramids…

Next we have to visit Malta in the Summer…

Ostuni is so beautiful that it almost feels unreal, you walk around in awe of every white archway, every white winding alleyway and every set of winding white steps, it’s the perfect romantic get a away, it’s a fairytale city.

You could imagine Dr Seuss characters surprising you on every turn…

We fell in love with Ostuni all over again, check out our photos..be blinded by all the brilliant white streets..

Durres, Albania wasn’t my favourite place, after going into the City for the day I was glad that I had booked us to stay by the beach.  The Restaurants that were open were really good and really cheap, you could feed all four of us for around 20 Euros, so we did eat out a lot during this week.  The best bit about staying here were definitely the sunsets, check out our photos….

We didn’t do a lot in Tirana, apart from stay warm and try to get rid of cold bugs, but we did go to the TEG shopping centre to stock up on warm clothes ready for winter catching up with us and rode the pretty awesome cable car ride that was longer and higher than expected.

 

Shkoder Albania, not exactly a picture postcard type of place, but nice scenery nearby, great hosts, laid back locals and roads where Bicycles are king, look past the stray dogs, trash and forgettable main streets and you’ll find a small city that is home to calm and happy people…

We stopped in Ulcinj for 11 nights, what did we think?
