About this blog

Welcome to the KBs Travel Blog. This is the first time we've chosen to Blog our travels, so we hope we can keep up with it all - we may be too busy enjoying the travel...

Our trip starts in Turkey and continues over nearly three months to take in a tour of Turkey, then on to Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Portugal and Thailand.

So read on and find out all about our mistakes, our scintilating insights and our witty repartee...
