West my friends, west to Santander. Plans to travel beachside are somewhat highjacked by TomTom, insisting on freeway. It’s not a bad thing though, roads are wet and I’d rather not plumet to my death […]
2017 Day Thirty Five
We’ve scored a good day to explore Bilbao, drizzly in the morning, clear and cool to follow. From our vantage point, the city is shrouded in fog and mist – I’m glad I took my […]
2017 Day Thirty Four
Our journey along the Basque coast continues and the pattern of yesterday continues – forest indispersed with sea views and the occasional high rise seaside town. Blue gum plantings join the eucalypts, their silvery blue […]

2017 Day Twenty Eight
Just when I thought our Les Plus Beaux Villages tour was temporarily diverted, there’s a nest of three, just off the Spanish border. Our drive to them takes us through more beautifully forested areas […]
2017 Day Twenty Seven
A light rain puts an end to a planned bike ride along the shore this morning. There’s something so remincent of home about Arachon, it’s the Melbourne bay in miniature complete with round bay, wide […]
