A big day: Sanda and Chris’s big day out in the Dolomites. It ought to have been simple enough really: 3 cable cars to take us to three separate peaks with short walks in between, […]
2018 Day 57: Apples and The Dolomites
We bid a slightly wistful farewell to Glurns this morning. It would be oh so easy to sleep in, pop out for another leisurely lunch, lap the village once more, watch the sunset light up […]
2018 Day 56 – Glurns
Oh the bliss of being still for a moment. You get so used to being on the road, it’s easy to forget how nice it is to prop in one spot, one very pretty spot […]
2018 Day 55 – Swiss Alps & Glurns
Another glorious morning waking in the Swiss Alps. It’s hard to beat mountain air – fabulously invigorating, just cool enough to make you feel wide awake and alive. Whilst the days are balmy mid 20s […]
2018 Day 54 – Swiss Alps

2018 Day 53 – Austrian Alps
So long Lake Constance, we’re off to Austria, forging our way east towards Slovenia then Croatia. Well perhaps goodbye should not be said quite so fast – with its enormous length, it takes what’s left […]
2018 Day 52 – Meersburg
Happy birthday to me! A birthday in Germany is a first. Usually by this stage of our travels, we’re homeward bound, which most often sees us in France. Chris has a lovely day planned across […]
2018 Day 51 – Konstanz
We leave the gorgeous greenery of Schwarzwald this morning, following the scenic drive recommended in our old school map. And by old school, I mean paper. Endlessly frustrating for not showing you exactly where you […]
2018 Day 50 – Eguisheim & Schwarzwald
Eguisheim is just too lovely to give up the opportunity for another walk through the village, this time in the softer, morning light. It really is quite magical – I’m surprised it hasn’t made its […]
2018 Day 49 – Eguscheim
We’ve saved one of the prettiest Les Plus Beaux Villages for last. Eguisheim is set in the heart of the Alsace wine region, an area of some 170 kilometres set at the foothills of the […]
