Home thoughts from abroad is a new series on Travel Words featuring a single photograph that reminds me of a country visited and showing something that uniquely identifies it as being ‘abroad’.

A birthday treat from one island to another involved a ferry and a coach. Narrow roads curving around tight bends with no barriers. The mountain on one side, the sea on the other. Eyes closed. Stopping for coffee and a stroll beneath shady trees to keep cool. A fishy lunch down by the harbour with skinny feral cats weaving between your legs. Hot, tired and happy at the end of the day.
Hot weather. A nervous mountainous drive. But beautiful scenery and memories for a lifetime.
Well I wasn’t driving. But I have seen images of coaches tumbling down ravines so I know it happens!
Yikes I wouldn’t be able to cope with the roads, so glad I am able to enjoy the view through your lens today x
Nice one Jude you’ve captured it in a few words.
