Snail life. Cheers! grin

Tuesday 15 December 2015

Planned a little walk up to the Pibeste this morning. Sadly cut short, but what we did manage was really very nice!

Saturday 7 November 2015

After lunch... time to try the local wares while we sit & watch the world go by. Just a lovely afternoon.

Saturday 7 November 2015

Lunch in Porto. But Pratiwi loves sangria... soooooo... who am I to say no?! wink Nom, nom, nom tongue

Friday 30 October 2015

When in Spain: tapas lunch in Santiago de Compostela. Followed by ice cream for some reason... even though it's cold!

Tuesday 27 October 2015

Cathedral Beach, North Spain. Fabulous 'almost winter' morning exploring. Low tide here is a must. Well planned! wink

Monday 26 October 2015

Prosciutto in a Spanish supermarket. More of a staple than luxury. Which is how it should be to be honest! Yum! tongue

Thursday 22 October 2015

No lens or perspective trickery here. That's just one bloody big steak! So tasty! Nom, nom, nom... nom... nom! wink tongue

Thursday 22 October 2015

Hallooooooooo... Apakah anda ingin bergabung dengan saya sebagai kari kambing? tongue grin wink

Thursday 22 October 2015

Obligatory 'Pratiwi is the red dot' pics walking along a path cut into the cliff face! Awesome & not scary at all! tongue

Sunday 18 October 2015

Lunch at Asador Llorente, Potes. Yum! And most of these dishes are entrées! We all left feeling a little stuffed! tongue

Sunday 11 October 2015

Just wondering in the hills above Pierrefitte-Nestalas on an Autumn day. Love the Pyrenees! smile

Friday 9 October 2015

Lunch at Auberge Le Bouic on a lovely sunny day in the mountains. Great food here too. Nom, nom, nom! tongue

Thursday 1 October 2015

Hike up to Lac d'Oô. Lovely autumn colours & beautiful views. Pratiwi being brave with the locals too. Mooooo! wink

Friday 11 September 2015

Feeding deer at Castle De Haar. They were loving acorns that we collected from an Oak tree just out of their reach.

Friday 11 September 2015

Visit to Castle De Haar, Netherlands. Immaculately restored and kept, it's just beautiful.

Thursday 10 September 2015

Pratiwi fattening up dinner?! A wonder so many plump chickens like this survive on sites full of hungry campers! wink

Wednesday 9 September 2015

Few drinks & a wonderful lunch by the canal in Amsterdam. It is really very nice here on a day like this. Cheers! grin

Sunday 30 August 2015

That dot is Pratiwi close as she dare go - so not that close wink - to edge of Preikestolen. 604m drop to fjord below!

Sunday 30 August 2015

This is just the path on the way to Preikestolen. You don't want to stumble to the left here! wink

Monday 24 August 2015

Passed Latefossen in sunshine yesterday but so cloudy now sad Proves great light more important than the right camera!

Thursday 20 August 2015

Voringfossen. At *only* 182m, allegedly 83rd highest fall in Norway. Amazing! Nice walk to the (very wet) base! grin

Wednesday 19 August 2015

Torvikbygd to Jodal Ferry. In the sun! Yay!

Wednesday 19 August 2015

You may think, "Not another waterfall!" but Steinsdalsfossen is different: you can walk behind it which is very cool!

Wednesday 19 August 2015

Table for 2, sir? Great food by an international chef, great view & very reasonable bill! wink Lunch by Hardangerfjord.

Saturday 15 August 2015

Short walk by Likholefossen waterfall. Beautiful as we have come to expect in Norway even if it is a bit grey today.

Friday 14 August 2015

Lunch after hiking in Balestrand. Currywurst plus fish & chips. Giant stack of condiments on the counter was awesome!

Monday 10 August 2015

Lots of local fresh fruit around in the Norwegian summer. Got some cherries while waiting for the return ferry. Yum!

Monday 10 August 2015

Solvorn-Ornes ferry on foot. Bit nippy & breezy on fjord (Lustrafjorden that is). Typical Norwegian experience! wink

Friday 7 August 2015

At least Pratiwi dressed for the conditions! Nice shoes! tongue wink

Thursday 6 August 2015

More scenes from the roads of Norway. This is Route 15 & just a fraction of the many, many rapids that run alongside.

Wednesday 5 August 2015

No idea why we have this picture of Pratiwi by a fjord with a pan of bacon, but... it's bacon so I'm posting it! wink

Wednesday 5 August 2015

Plenty of interesting stuff along the way. Traditional roof construction is pretty cool! Called 'sod roof' I think.

Wednesday 5 August 2015

Think the climbing is over... yay! Time to look for a slightly wider part of the track where we can sit & have lunch!

Wednesday 5 August 2015

I told Pratiwi it would make for a better pose if she let go of the cable, but for some reason she wasn't keen! wink

Wednesday 5 August 2015

Tiny area of clear land hundreds of metres up a cliff above a fjord. Good place for a farm, ja? That's Skagefla farm!

Wednesday 5 August 2015

... still climbing... although it's worth stopping once in a while to admire the views of Geirangerfjord below.

Wednesday 5 August 2015

Dropped of by the little sightseeing/ferry boat it's time to start climbing. We're heading for Skagefla farm.

Friday 31 July 2015

Short walk up the 'waterfall steps' & to the little church in Geiranger. Nice view, but it's better from higher up smile

Monday 27 July 2015

Random pictures from the Norwegian road. This is the '63' heading South from Trollstigen. Lovely.

Saturday 25 July 2015

Not really best way to finish an all day hike: slippery roots galore on a very steep slope! Still an epic day though!

Saturday 25 July 2015

Pratiwi negotiating part of the, "It's not dangerous, honest!" section. To be fair, it's not as bad as it looks wink

Saturday 25 July 2015

Hiking along rather slim ridge with the aid of chains. I enjoyed this but someone else said it was scary. Pfft wink tongue

Tuesday 21 July 2015

Short(ish) hike up the hill (Milthaugen I think) behind campsite. Bit misty and wet at the top! Still fun though smile

Sunday 19 July 2015

Just found this spot by Langfjorden for the night (or longer...?). Someone seems happy with the location! smile

Wednesday 15 July 2015

We made it to Norway! First impressions: Views from the road so far & this random coastal spot would say it seems OK!

Monday 6 July 2015

Lunch in Sankt Peter. As in 2012: Yum! tongue Pork, onions, potato, cheese & beer: Love it! Sat under red awning, sorry!

Thursday 2 July 2015

View from Les Roches du Diable (Devil's Rock). Don't know where the name came from, it's a rather nice place!

Wednesday 1 July 2015

Short hike up to Roche des vieux chevaux (great views down to the site we're staying at) & Lac de Lispach.

Thursday 18 June 2015

Tonight we find ourselves in the beautiful courtyard of an old German weingut. I'm rather enjoying the randomness smile
