Wondering around Vilanova i la Geltru between a couple of brief showers. Nice little town, worth a look if passing.
The Ferreres Aqueduct: wow! Not in bad shape for a 2000 year old pile of rocks! Love that we can walk over it too!
Beach-side apperos/dinner. Fried anchovies for me but ordered paella for 2 in error so had to help Pratiwi. Oops!
Rubbish weather at home, so let's go to Spain! Fantastic lunch in Ainsa en route to the Med. Nom, nom, nom!
Sublime meal at O Trigueirinho (Alfama). Garlic pork out of this world. Amazing food for silly small money! Loved it!
We probably shouldn't but it's an international city so by request (Pratiwi!) Peking duck & Korean beef for lunch!
Ah-ha! Now this one (think) I can name: The Rossio (aka. King Pedro IV Square). Still grey but TBH beats baking sun!
Fantastic dinner of pica-pau (chicken in light gravy made with beer), mushroom rice & sardines. Super nom bargain!
Gallery'd & church'd out but looking for more indoor activity. Money Museum of course! Bit odd, but some cool stuff!
Doing the tourist thing today so need a photo here in daylight too Bit bright this morning but told it won't last.
Lisbon hotel breakie: unlimited pasteis de nata & other goodies. Nom! Gonna need lots of walking to burn this off!
Dinner in Alfama: cheese/olives/bread/black pudding & orange/steak/octopus/rice/chips/few veggies/couple beers. Nom!
Well good evening Lisbon! Little stroll around before finding some food. Nice to be back after 20 years or so!
Bit windy out! This could be... erm... interesting! First flight in ages - how exciting!
Visit to the 'big smoke' - ermmmmmm - so lunch out at Thanh Long. Very tasty & only 10E for 3 courses. Bargain!
Happy (early) BD to me! Celebrating day before to avoid weekend crowds. Always great food in a local fave. Nom!
Obligatory December ski shots. Beautiful sunny day & great conditions. Super quiet with no lift queues. Awesome!
Awoke to a pretty grey & dreary day soooo... went to Pau for a curry. As you do! Nom!
Great night out with friends in local town. Real pints, outrageous steak & profiteroles on offer. Nom, nom, nom!
Swanky place we had apperos at fully booked for dinner, so ate at nearby tapas bar. Works for us & more economic too!
Lunch @ Pou de la Vila, Tossa de Mar. Glad we resisted temptation to eat on seafront - still beautiful & superb food.
Passing few mins on Tossa de Mar beach as restaurant we'd like to try not open yet. Spanish lunch hours: terrible!
What more beach? Off season in practically empty Calonge on a lovely sunny evening. Nice when it's not crazy busy!
Few tapas plates in Hondarribia old town. Octopus, basque sausage, croquettes. Plus beer & sangria of course. Cheers!
Dinner at Restaurant Bonnet, Itxassou. Amazing food in a lovely traditional dining room. Highly recommended!
Dinner at Haize Hegoa, Itxassou. Nice bar with great view - shame it's dark outside. Great burger & steak though!
Legend Bridge (& others) in Sauveterre-de-Bearn. Originally built in 12th century but destroyed by floods in 18th.
Still great food, but atmosphere in a fave tapas bar much subdued due to health regs. Hope it's back to normal soon!
Cafe Orient, La Seu d'Urgell. 3 course lunch with slabs of meat & bottle of wine for 13E each. Welcome to Spain!
Villefranche-de-Conflent: v.impressive on approach, but hard to photograph inside. So, erm, sorry few tourist pics
Fabulous Thai @ Sabai Sabai in Argeles Plage. No entree, but ordered 3 mains & devoured the lot! Highly recommended.
The Med! We're not really beach people, but now & then have to remind ourselves mountains were the correct choice!
So, there's a galette/crepe van visiting the camping we're at this evening. Would be rude not to Nom, nom, nom!
Lunch at Hotel Bellevue, Cambo-les-Bains. Fantastic food, especially the main & ridiculous value - 3 courses for 16E!
Lunch above clearing clouds @ Refuge Orisson. Great steak & Gateau Basque - of course - nom! Fantastic experience!
I rode here the day before & so beautiful drove Pratiwi up to see. Roads above the clouds always feel very special
Tapas, beer & sangria... watching the world go by in St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Went down a treat after earlier exertions!
Happy anniversary to us! 10 months since we last ate out so great return to one of the local faves we've missed
Beautiful La Peyre & Croix de Beliou. Sunny but 0C with 60kph wind & snowfields. To think I almost wore shorts!
Snowshoeing practically from our doorstep. We often walk up here, but snow takes things up a notch. So beautiful!
Great day on the snow with the ladies. Raquettes with a picnic stop. Absolutely beautiful parcours at the Couraduque!
Another crappy day in confinement But jokes aside, know we are super lucky to have this stuff in our 1km radius
