Home Is Paradise...

And I am finally to be back home, back home after being on the road, in Morocco, for just about a week. And there's more relaxing like home...

Taking off from Istanbul earlier this morning, we flew north of the Black Sea coast of Turkey. And I hoped I would catch a glimpse of the Caspian Sea, as we headed into Kazakh airspace...

It was just about daybreak as we flew over the Caspian...

The disappointment of not seeing the Caspian Sea was more than made up by the breathtaking break of dawn...

We had already flown over Georgia and Azerbaijan by then... Both these are countries I would love to visit one day...

Time to rest as we zip across the Steppes of Kazakhstan...

And now here I am, at home, resting with some Moroccan sweets from Maymana's shop at Casablanca Airport, sipping a strong brew of Assam tea and watching the House of Cards! This is bliss...
