Travelling again...

"Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life..." – Jack Kerouac

Our planned trip to Moscow/St Petersburg this month is cancelled as there are not enough takers for the trip. And we are yet to claim our deposit from the travel agent.

On Saturday we visited the MATTA Fair and use the unclaimed deposit to again book for a few more trips. This time to Iran and Morocco. Hopefully there will be enough people to form a small tour group for the trips. If not, we will resort to go on our own, backpacking as usual...

I wish I could go travelling again

It feels like this summer will never end

And I've had such good offers from my friends

I wish I could go travelling again

I want to sit in traffic anxious about our plane

While your blasé comments drive me half insane

I want to dash for shelter with you through the tropical rain

I wish I could go travelling again

I want to be awakened by a faulty fire alarm

In an overpriced hotel devoid of charm

Then fall asleep again back in your arms

I wish I could go travelling again

I want to sit in my shades, sipping my latte

Beneath the awning of a famous cafe

Jet-lagged and with our luggage gone astray

I wish I could go travelling again

I want a waiter to give us a reprimand

In a language neither of us understand

While we argue about the customs of the land

I wish I could go travelling again
