@natalietran you should never have to apologise for expressing yourself. I completely agree with what you said. Screw the idiots who don't!

Suppose there's some benefit to jetlag: Good morning Sydney! Blue's Point a popular spot for this morning's sunrise.
Saturday 9 August 2014
Home safe & sound. EK flights from Barcelona are quick... ish 
Just enough stop over to walk between gates. Like landing at night Zzzzz
Friday 8 August 2014
Spotted in Barcelona: family of 5 travelling around by bike. So what was your excuse for not cycling touring again?
Friday 8 August 2014
Tried some 'comfort fit' trousers. Could barely get my calf in, let alone thigh. How skinny are 'normal' people's legs? #CyclistsProblems
Thursday 7 August 2014
Lunch in Placa Reial. It's Spain so paella on the menu despite temps in the late 30s. Sizzle! Lucky there's beer too!
Thursday 7 August 2014
Pre-lunch tourist snaps in Placa Reial.
Thursday 7 August 2014
Wondering through Las Ramblas either side of lunch. Bright squares and dark alleys. Contrast central!
Thursday 7 August 2014
An average Thursday afternoon on Las Ramblas. Said it before: real cities like this make Sydney look like a village!
Thursday 7 August 2014
Rather overcast day at Park Guell. Terrible light for pics so cue some random tourist stuff. Spot the silly selfie
Thursday 7 August 2014
Hola Barcelona! After an early start in Andorra not sure I can stay awake until dinner time. Lucky they have that siesta thing here! 
Tuesday 5 August 2014
Heading back to the car. Last mountain walk of the holiday & it's been a cracker! It's even nice walking on the road!
Tuesday 5 August 2014
Pratiwi was dreaming of splashing about in a mountain stream all day. Brrr, icy! I showed her how to relax instead
Tuesday 5 August 2014
Heading back to the start. These views are even better when you don't have to keep turning round to look at them!
Tuesday 5 August 2014
Lunch spot: Refugi de Juclar. Nippy at around 2300m up. Lake next door would be prettier if it hadn't been drained 
Tuesday 5 August 2014
Looking back down the valley. Can you tell this was a great day? Happy hiking photos
Tuesday 5 August 2014
The walk proper starts as we turn to follow the Riu de Juclar. Many waterfalls on this section. Simply stunning!
Tuesday 5 August 2014
We have a day to kill in Andorra so... a hike! This is the flat-ish bottom section of the route along Vall d'Incles.
Tuesday 5 August 2014
Pratiwi picked hotel with all-you-can-eat buffet for dinner without any clues of such outside. How? #Only4Deserts #Stuffed #LongHikeTomorrow
Monday 4 August 2014
Relaxing on a sunny hotel terrace in Soldeu. Ahhhhh.....
Monday 4 August 2014
Heading up to Andorra. That road is the N20 from Ax-les-Thermes from whence we came. Yes... slightly entertaining
Sunday 3 August 2014
Little stroll to Belvedere du Diable this morning. Nice view, but really rather humid. #WePreferHighMountains
Saturday 2 August 2014
Pratiwi can always eat another duck. I order salad to be healthy, which comes loaded with prosciutto & feta. Oops
Saturday 2 August 2014
Rennes-le-Chateau: famous for a little tower & church, & conspiracy theories leading to a mention in several novels.
Saturday 2 August 2014
Wondering round Quillan like tourists to get the day started. Overheard lots of English being spoken in that market.
Friday 1 August 2014
Back in France. Straight to the supermarche to pick up lunch. Then the obligatory picnic stop by a sunflower field
Friday 1 August 2014
Interesting stuff parked next to East Midlands Airport. Ah, it's an Aeropark apparently. Plus obligatory clouds pic.
Friday 1 August 2014
Pratiwi likes the breakfast one is served in an English country B&B. And I should hope so! Nom, nom, nom!
Thursday 31 July 2014
Few random snaps from the English countryside. Grey skies. Green hills. Old pubs & beer. #TypicalEngland #HopeValley
Thursday 31 July 2014
Just a typical pub lunch in the English countryside...
Thursday 31 July 2014
Went for a pre-breakfast stroll around the block. Discovered the neighbours are a bit ostentatious
Thursday 31 July 2014
UK peeps: what's that purple pipe being installed in central reservation of M1? Plenty time parked next to it today. Welcome to England!
Wednesday 30 July 2014
Re: last post. Just parked our Spanish hire car at a French airport while we fly to UK where there is a 2nd car to collect! #Organised?
Wednesday 30 July 2014
I'll give them this: budget airlines forcing you to print boarding pass & take hand luggage only makes getting to the gate a breeze #Fly2UK
Wednesday 30 July 2014
Dinner with some old folk in Le Bistro Not France, but Wentworth! Festooned with flowers & tasty. Nom, nom, nom
Wednesday 30 July 2014
Evening sun streaming through the greenery of a pub garden. In England. In summer. No, not joking - it can happen!
Wednesday 30 July 2014
Random col on today's drive. This is the Col de Port. Bit chilly up here for the middle of summer! Brrrrrr!
Wednesday 30 July 2014
First decent 'net connection on holiday so catching up with #TDF highlights from @CyclingCentral Tour Tracker. Great for after the race too!
Tuesday 29 July 2014
Dinner at the Auberge in Seix. Big juicy steak & wine as reward for... oh, erm... sitting relaxing all day. Ooops
Tuesday 29 July 2014
Tourist snaps in Seix, Ariege. We were going to hike to the nearby cascade but this was only break in a rainy day
Monday 28 July 2014
Stopping off to look at a castle while we pass. You know... as you do! For the curious: this is Chateau de Mauvezin.
Monday 28 July 2014
Driving over the Aubisque/Soulor again today. Plenty of mist & cloud made for some... erm... 'interesting' pics!
Monday 28 July 2014
Hike to Col/Lacs d'Ayous today. Stunningly beautiful 17km. Drove back to Laruns, ran into closest bar. Caught last 3.5km of TdF #PerfectDay
Sunday 27 July 2014
Wasn't all mountains & lakes, we also passed some beautiful green forest & streams. Today really did have everything!
Sunday 27 July 2014
What's going on here? Guess we were supposed to be striking a pose, but were having too much fun by the look of it
Sunday 27 July 2014
Time to head home. Past the lakes, amazing views, waterfall, cattle (mooooo!) and the rest.
Sunday 27 July 2014
Tried to order small meal last night. Sounded like veggie soup. Giant bowl came. Like veggie stew... but ½ roast duck in there too! Oops
