From TravelPulse: Europe is reemerging as a favorite destination among Americans in 2022 as recent data from Allianz Partners found that travel to the continent from the U.S. could climb by as much as 600 percent from last year. Whats more, roughly of Americans venturing to Europe will spend at least seven days traveling. In my case, 3 weeks.

About 10 km from Tiger Hill, we were caught up in traffic jam extending all the way to Tiger hill. At about 5.45, we were still 3 km from the view point and driver said, there is no way vehicle can go further. We were asked to go on foot or turn back. We decided to turn back. Sun was already high at 6 oclock. In our Ajay Modi group, vehicles were running parallel. Only one reached Tiger Hill in t Read on...
We got up and left the albergue just after 6am, because of the steep climb to O Cebreiro. At about 7:30, after climbing pretty steeply, we entered the first town of La Faba. We were looking forward to a coffee break, since it was too early for anything to be open in Las Herreiras, but the only bar in town was closed. This seemed to happen a lot. Im not sure if we are leaving too early, or they jus Read on...
Although I would rather have rented a boat and island hop, I dont have a sailing licence so I only visited Crete (not much unfortunately), Santorini, Milos and Athens.
First stop was Heraklion, where I visited the museum with its really good collection of Minoan pottery (a must go). I back to Crete one day and stay there for a couple of weeks as I didnt get to see much this time. I only did some Read on...
Bermuda is said to be one of the most isolated places on earth. The nearest land is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, 596 miles (nearly 1,000 km) away. Colleagues at work seemed to know very little about Bermuda when I told them I was traveling there. It is not part of the Caribbean, though it is often grouped with the Caribbean islands. Bermuda is a group of volcanic Atlantic Ocean islands (three ma Read on...
Another early start to the day, up at 6:30 to do some work and have a staff meeting via Teams. No breakfast this morning as we were still pretty full from the beef from last night. Coffee and a strong one was in order. The coffee bar downstairs, while they use Starbucks, still make a good strong latte. The baristas are also very friendly. Todays itinerary consists of 2 museums, the Ford Piquette P Read on...
We started Sunday with birding at the Spanish Lagoon. Its easy to get up early because our hostess likes us to keep the outdoor lights on – so the in the windows a bit. Of course we said hello to the burrowing owls, and then stood watch at the flowering cactus to try to catch better photos of the hummingbirds.
Then it was off to worship with Ronald from The Kitchen, at the Centro Familiar Hosan Read on...
Days 430 to 434. Week 20 the year . A whole shedload of days disappeared and no sign of life on the horizon as things change day on day. The weather has been awful . Rain . Heavy most of the time swelling the river Dee up by over a metre. The river looks lovely when it is fast flowing but nature is cruel . The Sandpipers chicks have been washed away by the sheer force of the water. The Kingfishers Read on...
Today we head back to Broome. Were feeling a bit sad as we leave our little shack in amongst the sand dunes. Well maybe shacks underselling it a bit. The resort calls it a villa, and whilst its certainly very nice, I usually associate villas with mansions high on the cliffs of the French Riviera. The name does at least differentiate it from the tents.
Like just about everyone up in this neck of t Read on...
My Spot:No offense to Sheldon of Big Bang Theory; BUT this is MY SPOT! Many days if warm, I walk down hill minutes and hang out in afternoon sun here on the cliffs east end of Albufeira or I go below to the beach area for an hour or two.
New AirBnb: See the pics on my new AirBNB next door to the one I had. Nice balcony view! Much smaller place and queen bed in the living room but I can handle th Read on...
