Wild Flamingos and pink lakes in France
We headed south to Camargue regional park; a vast expanse of wetland between a river and the sea. It’s home to many migratory birds, wild horses and big black bulls, but we were only there for one thing – the Flamingo. As soon as we approached the park a menacing black cloud filled the horizon….
A slice of the American Midwest in Southern France
Europe’s largest canyon, Verdon Gorge slices through a limestone plateau for 25km. It’s deepest point is 700m and it’s narrowest at a mere 8m, it’s not quite the Grand Canyon, but it’s a good runner up. A scenic road leads around the canyon offering view points along the way. We passed the large Saint Croix…
From the French Alps to the Sunny South
We strolled around the medieval old town of Annecy with its sweet canals cutting through the town. Archways led from the narrow cobbled streets across to bridges. Under one of the archways was a load of rubbish all piled up with plastic bags, then we saw a face staring at us amongst the bags. She…
Sleeping in the shadows of Mont Blanc
France was our first port of call on this roadtrip, and 6 months later we are back in the land of baguettes after doing a huge, wiggly loop around 21 countries. Now we have a chance to explore France and hopefully head south to Spain. Our first stop was a rainy and cold Chamonix, a…
One week in Switzerland for €25pp
We hadn’t planned to visit Switzerland, mainly because it’s too expensive for us penny-pinchers, but we were so close and knew we’d never be able to afford a holiday there, unless of course we had a hotel on wheels and stocked up on food beforehand! And what a fantastic choice it was; the mountain scenery…
A city with bears and the home of Gruyere
Lonely planet described Bern as the planets most underrated capital. It also said that the 15th century old town was ‘pretty enough to sweep you off your feet’. I was pretty excited as I thoroughly enjoyed the festive shops in Lucerne, surely the Capital would be ultra Christmassy too. It wasn’t though, and it most…
Doesn’t get better than this – The Swiss Alps
Five kilometres from the Swiss border Pablo started making a horrible squeaky noise and we figured it was the brakes. We couldn’t believe our luck; Switzerland is renowned for being stupidly expensive so a trip to the mechanic sounded really exciting for our budget! We were so annoyed as it was amazing weather at last….
Lake Bled like you’ve never seen it before…
Brochures never show photos of this picturesque lake in the rain, but luck was on our side as we got to visit on such a day! Along with the rain we were treated to thick cloud and fog which blocked all mountain vistas, hooray! Bled town sits on the shores of the lake and spreads…
A creepy look inside a porn lords abandoned Palace Hotel
We came across a very interesting sight on Krk Island in Northern Croatia; The grand Haludovo Palace Hotel, which is also known as the Penthouse Adriatic Club Casino. Sounds pretty swanky huh? But it hasn’t had a paying customer in over a decade. The owner was the founder of Penthouse Magazine, Bob Guccione, and his…
