Found a nice Italian restaurant & ordered plat du jour... which wasn't pizza. Doh! Still, that steak wasn't bad! 
Friday 27 December 2024
Bakery aisle & kebab (well, doner meat sandwich) complete our meals for today. Who said road trips aren't healthy?
Thursday 26 December 2024
We're passing the Black Forest today so... coffee & obligatory gateau at our last rest stop in Germany. Super yum! 
Saturday 21 December 2024
Side trip to Hallstatt. Beautiful but bitterly cold in the lakeside shadows. Should have got up earlier... doh!
Friday 20 December 2024
Dinner @ Ichi go Ichi e, Salzburg. Wonderful food (both ramen & rice dishes) & lucky to find space on a Friday night!
Friday 20 December 2024
Culture done, back to the market to say hi to sis & munch some random treats. Dampfnudeln the clear winner! Yum!

Sunday 15 December 2024
Not a bad breakie spot! Pls excuse empty plates: we were too quick. So included a shot of sweet stuff eaten later

Seefeld snowshoe... without much deep snow, so just a beautiful hike in the end. Met some fury friends which was fun.
Friday 13 December 2024
When you fancy a burger... lucky they have Indonesian chicken curry on the menu for someone else! Nom, nom, nom!
Friday 13 December 2024
Seefeld stroll. Dusk turns to night & lights come into their own. Obligatory mulled wine & a fruit covered bun thing.
Friday 13 December 2024
Arrived in Seefeld (in Tirol) to this very pleasant view from our balcony. That'll do! Now, time to go explore...
Thursday 12 December 2024
Few beers & dinner with the family @ Alter Keller. Delicious food & good times. Definitely worth the 4,000km drive!
Wednesday 11 December 2024
Xmas markets in Basel. Lots of things to see... & eat! Lots of people here too but a very nice atmosphere
Tuesday 10 December 2024
Le Taj Mahal, Besancon. Asked if I'd like it "very, very hot", was sceptical (it's France) but wow, had a kick! Yum!
Tuesday 10 December 2024
Wondering around Besancon... nibbling churros & enjoying more sparkly lights. It's a beautiful place!

Road trip! But why the car? Sure, some of this could go on roof, but don't fancy 4000km drive with that wind noise
Thursday 31 October 2024

Pic de Bazes. Amazing 360 view! Lucky descent/return down other side not quite as challenging but still beautiful
Sunday 20 October 2024
Time to climb! Around 600m vertical to Pic de Bazes from here. Spectacular views everywhere to soak in on rest stops.

Sunday 13 October 2024
Meet up in San Sebastian starts with Sunday lunch at a Basque cideria: help yourself from the barrel! Great food too!
