Mia D is chosing the Friday themes in December and I already missed the first one, which was “Cookbooks”. Nevertheless, today I am participating – and the subject is a good one; “A dream trip”. The themes for the next weeks are “Christmas traditions” and “New Year resolutions”.
The entrance to Petra through the rocks
So, which is my dream trip? Actually, my dream trip has already come true – when I visited Petra in Jordan two years ago! It had been a dream to visit the city for obvious reasons (the name!) but also because I had been told [by various friends who had already visited it] that it was a beautiful place. I was not disappointed, the visit to Petra was wonderful and it truly is a magical place.

However, I do dream about making some other journeys – to Egypt, Vietnam, Greenland and Vancouver in Canada. My interest for all of these places have been inspired by people I have met who come from / live there.
There is an additional reason why I want to visit Vietnam – the food! I haven’t actually been to many Vietnamese restaurants but I have been served home-cooked [by Vietnamese friends] food several times and it is so yummy! I still remember the first time I ate Vietnamese food; on Boxing Day in England 1988! My parents and I were invited to my father’s German colleague’s house when his Parisian Vietnamese (and Swedish-speaking) girlfriend was visiting and she had made a lovely meal for us. That was the day I decided that I wanted to visit Vietnam – 20 years ago and I still haven’t made it there!
