Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne cathedral & cloisters. Very interesting & cool (literally!) break from the hot summer sun.

Views from the road today: Driving down to La Thuile, over Col du Petit Saint-Bernard & through La Rosière.

Easy hike through pine forest carpeted with buttercups to Belvedere d'Arpy, which has an amazing view of Mt Blanc!

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

Obligatory bakery craving photo ... Italian edition

Stroll in village of Seillans. Fountains & immaculately presented eateries a theme, but sadly bit early for lunch

We normally avoid campsite restaurants, but the menu del dia here looked good & didn't disappoint. Nom!

What? You didn't think we could walk round the Basque capital at lunchtime & not have a few pintxos, did you? Nom!

Brunch part 2: coffee & hot chocolate so thick you can almost eat it like pudding! Banoffee pie to die for! OMG!

Dinner venue I had in mind booked out, so plan 'B': Korean/Mongolian. Superb, especially fried chicken balls. Nom!

Intended to just snack on pintxos at lunch then have a big evening meal. But once we started couldn't wait. Oops!

Tempting airport gifts. If our hand luggage wasn't already fit to burst! 1hr delay, but overall been a great trip!

When staying at a self proclaimed gastropub you expect a great breakfast. Absolutely did not disappoint. Yum!

Walkies with dad. School XC runs used to go round/through these waters in sleet & freezing rain. Fun memories!?!

There's been an inn on this site since 1552! Room for tonight is very cosy & not at all medieval though. Phew!

Dinner before heading to airport. This roadside warung had the best BBQ chicken! Ginger tea from cart nextdoor. Nom!

Need to cool off after the gym? Luckily there's an infinity pool by the river for that!

Afternoon tea... some tasty Asian nibbles, fruit shots and as much chocolate cake as you can eat. Yum!

Ermmmmmmmm... might be some big trees around here!! #GiantLeaf

Full of roast pork, think we're done. Then heard this stall famed for fried bananas. Have to find out why, right?

Pura Agung Besakih, the largest & most important Balinese Hindu temple complex. Lots of activity & very interesting.

Warung Sabar: seafood so good that instead of ordering dessert after the main we asked for an entree of fish cakes!

Seafront digs for couple of days. Welcome drinks by the pool. Room overlooking their tropical garden. Not bad at all!

Sea turtle conservation project in Sanur. When eggs are found in unsafe location they are hatched here then released.
