Hi, and welcome back to the Andiamo Amigos website! If this is your first visit, thank you for stopping by and taking a look. Unfortunately, back in 2024, our website was compromised. We had taken a break for a couple of months after travelling around South America. When we came back to it, we discovered that, unfortunately, it had been damaged beyond repair. We thought this was the end, but then, by a strange coincidence, we came across a website called the Wayback Machine and decided to give it another go. So, here we are! This is a temporary front page while we work on reformatting and updating our travel blog. Hopefully, you'll keep popping back every now and then to see how we're getting on. We're working hard behind the scenes to get everything back up and running. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to see you again soon!
So, what's been happening since we were last here? Let's get up to speed! After our travels through South America, which is where we left off before we were so rudely interrupted, we continued our journey up through Central America, visiting some amazing places along the way, before flying home from Mexico City. Since then, we've been back to Italy, enjoyed a safari in Tanzania, relaxed on the beaches of Zanzibar, felt the roar of the engines at Zandvoort and explored the Christmas markets in Budapest. We've also visited France, Switzerland and Italy again, taking in the stunning Dolomites and the Swiss Alps, as well as spending a week in Portugal's Algarve. I took our new camper van, "Bruce", on a six-week tour of Europe, visiting 15 countries along the way. We've returned to Italy (again!) and spent some time exploring Marrakech and the surrounding area. And last, but certainly not least, we got married and now have three wonderful grandchildren.
Well, we're glad you asked. We've planned and booked a Christmas adventure through Belgium, France and Germany, seeking out the best Christmas markets and soaking up the festive atmosphere. We're also heading to Turkey, starting in Istanbul before venturing off the beaten track to visit one of the oldest archaeological sites discovered to date. This is somewhere I've wanted to visit for many years, and I'm finally getting the chance. Next, we're taking Bruce to the Austrian Grand Prix and who knows, we may even end up in Italy for a change. I'm also hoping to head off on another solo adventure, this time to Scandinavia. So, please check back when you can. Hopefully, we'll be back up and running before our next adventure begins!
