We live in Trieste! Here are a few highlights from our two months in this beautiful north Italian city.

We're taking a break from writing the blog. This break is of indeterminate length, and might be forever. But we've had a blast!

We've landed in our latest digs, this time a palazzo in Genoa, with tall ceilings, ballroom floors, great light, and an odd central beam...

In order to bring you the best food of Sri Lanka, we've eaten curries and noodles until we can't stand it. And then eaten some more!

We're reading again! Here are our favourites of the many books about Sri Lanka we've been devouring since our arrival

We get a grasp on the pretty and manageable city of Colombo, and even begin to feel more comfortable riding around in a tuk tuk.

We're celebrating a full moon day, dressed in our cleanest white clothing and headed to the temple to offer up lotus flowers!

We took a day trip to the Batu Caves, a stunning natural location whose beauty has only been enhanced by the temples and statues built there!

We spent maybe the best two hours of our life playing with huskies at the Huskitory. Read on to hear how these prize-winners stole our heart!
