Messing about in Menton. What a super nice little place. So glad we're visiting end of September & not peak season!

Monday 22 September 2025

Made it to the coast. Phew! On the beach near Laigueglia - not bad for the Med, but not today's final destination.

Saturday 6 September 2025

The beach by the campsite in Rabac: looks a whole lot better in the morning when everyone is still asleep! grin

Just parked up here. We're not beach people & not impressed with rocks in Croatia, but guess it could be worse! wink

Saturday 22 June 2024

Well this is alright! Camping right by Lake Maggiore. Even a little beach here, but not hot enough to warrant a swim.

Wednesday 19 June 2024

Dawn stroll at Diano Marina. Beach culture in Italy is bit of a shock for us Aussies. I just don't get it! sad

Tuesday 18 June 2024

Bit overdressed for the beach? Nice dusk stroll along the front at Diano Marina (Italian Riviera) all the same smile

Breakfast treats from beach side food cart & warung. Chicken bun & roll then pork satay, soup & sambal. Hit the spot!

Morning stroll at Sanur Beach. Few clues we're in Bali - cos going on voices here you'd think it was 'straya mate! wink

Friday 6 October 2023

Obligatory beach ride-by, Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Nice, but getting out of here through traffic chaos is 'interesting' wink

Road sign said 26% but saw 30% gradient on the Garmin today. Yikes! Beautiful day on the bike all the same smile

Wednesday 19 October 2022

Walk in Lekeitio. Fancied lunch but no food to be seen, just bars with men sipping white wine. Odd! Nice beach tho smile

Tuesday 18 October 2022

Today's ride: Coastal warm up before some brutal inland gradients. Full summer kit. Amazing mid-October conditions!

Sunset at Blanes. Seems like every beach here has a group of small fishing boats for tourists to snap. Works well smile

Wednesday 20 October 2021

Sunrise at Blanes. Bit too cloudy on the horizon TBH, but only here for 2 nights so best I could manage am afraid sad

Tuesday 19 October 2021

Passing few mins on Tossa de Mar beach as restaurant we'd like to try not open yet. Spanish lunch hours: terrible! wink
