Welcome

Welcome to my 2011 follow up to the hugely successful blog of 'Jotown and Wally on the road'.

Here you'll be able to follow my quiet 'lifestyle',as I wander around the highways,byways,mountains and trails of Europe, in my van affectionately called 'Wally', or further afield using metal wings !

If I'm around where you are, and you want me to call - or visit me...just let me know ..

You can follow my adventures and keep in touch by posting messages whilst I am travelling.

For those of you who are returning for the second season then I expect more messages than in 2010....... this year there is a counter of page views at the foot of the page, so I will be watching.....!

The Source of the Jordan..

Today we set off for the source of the River Jordon, at a place called Caeserea  Phillippi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesarea_Philippi, and the source of the River Dan, one of the tributary’s of the River Jordon.IMG_4761

Firstly we travelled across country, beneath the Golan Heights, and the Border with Syria ,where many Wars have been fought over the territory…IMG_4783and still to be seen all along the road were the yellow signs, warning of a Minefield…scary !

Then arriving at Caeserea we wandered around the ancient Temples to the God Pan, IMG_4781and the source of the River, welling up through ancient caves, and whilst all this ancient civilisations are around you, the reminders everywhere you look of the troubled times from the recent past, and maybe future ?
