Dan gingen we ons omkleden, ontbijten aan de auto, de laatste dingen inpakken, stapschoenen aan en off we go!
Na enkele honderd meter waren we al helemaal bezweet, maar de moeite werd continu beloond met prachtige uitzichten!
Nore sliep en zong vredig in de draagzak en liet ons op tijd weten als ze dorst had, moe was, of als we langer dan 5 seconden bleven stilstaan.
Ze kreeg onderweg ook veel Read on...

Nachdem wir 3 Wochen mit dem Wohnmobil die Insel umrundet haben, haben wir jetzt das Wohnmobil gegen einen gelndegngigen Dacia Duster eingetauscht. Damit knnen wir auch mal Abstecher in das Hochland machen. Unser Hauptquartier haben wir nun in Selfoss, da man von dort aus die Highlights des Golden Circle und das Hochland gut erreichen kann.
Also erst mal ab zum Geysir. Der groe Geysir, der der Na Read on...
We zijn nu echt in de Champagne streek beland. Op de achtergrond ligt Cormicy. We have now definitely arrived in the Champagne region. In the background is Cormicy.
Today was luckily a shorter day: 20.3 kms. But because we stayed at a hotel last night and it is Sunday, breakfast wasnt served until 8:30. That meant that we were only away at 9:05 and still walked till about 1:15pm. It wasnt an unpl Read on...
So what is your favourite garden then ? I asked . The reply from the driver about the best garden he had ever seen was exactly the same as the one that was going round my head . Ninfa Glenn said. Yes I agree Our memory of our day in the Italian garden of Ninfa remained long in the memory. The sun had been shining and we had wandered around the beautiful garden . There was none like it .

Fridays sea day went smoothly. Some time during the day the cabin steward bought around a Crossed The Arctic Circle certificate for each passenger. Evening Formal Night saw most people partake again.
Saturday was Honningsvg for the North Cape. On arrival we had a 4 hour morning tour with Blue Puffin Tours, organised privately rather than a ships tour.

After a day of chasing Arthur, today was to be an easier jaunt. Being Friday the 13th, we figured a day without adventure might be prudent.
Due to our late arrival, we were unable to see the famous Roman baths in this eponymously named city, so that was our first stop. Thermal springs are in Great Britain, with only 5 spring groups. The water here at out of the ground at 45 degrees centigrade, at Read on...
There is only one airline: Bolivian Air that regularly flies into the country. I would best describe them as Spirit Airlines of South America. My flight left out of Miami, but from a tired old terminal I had never been to before. i had an overnight flight to Santa Cruz, the largest city in Bolivia at 3.3M residents.
I arrived at 5:00am and proceeded to get a Visa ($160 USD for Americans) and clea Read on...
A dominant impulse on encountering beauty is to wish to hold on to it, to possess it and give it weight in ones life. There is an urge to say, I was here, I saw this and it mattered to me. - Alain de Botton
We started the day by enjoying breakfast on the sunny terrace of our apartment, admiring the lovely view. We had some fruit, and some of the delicious cakes we bought yesterday from Cukarin Ba Read on...
If anyone has ever been to Brighton you know that its not the most beautiful beach in the world. Sure it makes for a nice day trip from London on a warm summer day, which we only get a few of a year, but would you ever consider to spent the night sleeping on this pebble beach?
This is exactly what my friend talked me into a couple of years ago. We both were broke Au Pairs working in London and we Read on...
