Probablement que ce soir, je vais faire un texte plus court que dhabitude, et mettre plus de photos. Dune part ce sera le plus explicite de la journe, et dautre part, a vous vitera les fautes. Je vous ai entendu tous les jours: tiens il en a encore fait une ici. Je me concentre trop sur le texte, les formules, au dtriment de lorthographe. En me relisant, jen corrige un nombre considrable, mais je Read on...
Mon 6th we reluctantly packed up and headed south- we couldnt delay the inevitable any longer. We were aiming for Bladensburg NP, near Winton where we have stayed previously. This was a fairly long and uneventful drive and we arrived there just before dark, which was good as we needed daylight to recall where we camped last time. Luckily for us this had, just a few days before, been reopened sinc Read on...
This morning weve booked a half day tour to the Cuevas de San Jose which are about forty kilometres north of Valencia. Our guide introduces himself as Joaquin, and one of the first things he tells us is that we shouldnt drink the water out of the taps here. He doesnt explain why. Weve been here for five days now, and weve been drinking tap water constantly. We both feel fine for now, so we assume Read on...
The bus journey to the hotel took about an hour to an hour and a half. Im glad that there was only eight of us on the bus as it meant we got to spread out. The driver was in full hazmat gear and roped off from us. It was weird leaving the airport and driving along the empty roads. Traffic must have really dropped off now there are so few international flights and I presume domestic flights still a Read on...
We have water! Finally! Remember how we told you about our broken water system? Well, its not broken anymore. We have water.yes, water..Im repeating myself. Tom, from RV Force, came and fixed our problem. Yay for Tom! Cory had ordered the needed parts from Tiffin so Tom could fix everything right then and there. Hooray! We tend to take so much for granted. Once its not there (like H2O)..woweeeeyou Read on...

Greetings from England! I have decided, after much contemplation, to continue to write my travel blogs this summer, and to try to travel as best as I can. Having read a number of encouraging and inspiring blogs on here from my fellow travel bloggers doing the same (thank you guys!), I shall be writing about the more local travel plans I have made for this summer 2020, during these turbulent and t Read on...
From UNESCO: The Acropolis of Athens is the most striking ancient Greek still existing in our times. It is situated on a hill of average height (156m) that rises in the basin of Athens. Its overall dimensions are approximately 170 by 350m. The hill is rocky and steep on all sides except for the western side, and has an extensive, nearly flat top. Strong fortification walls have surrounded the summ Read on...
Nathan here, reflecting on the way to Hue about the miraculous time we had in Tam Coc, a suburb of Ninh Binh, stopover with some really cool things to do that one can crunch into a single day, or spread them out and soak up some of the last northern hospitality youll get before heading further south and linking up with the features on Vietnams tourist trail.
We stayed at this incredible place, ru Read on...
