Exploring Moldova and Transdnistria

By | 2020-01-08T23:14:42+01:00 January 8th, 2020|

Why Moldova? In September 2019 we spent three or four days in Moldova followed by three days in Odessa, Ukraine. Why Moldova? We are big fans of the off-the-beaten-track destinations and Moldova is a relatively remote country in the middle of Europe very much neglected by the tourists. Besides, it has a growing wine-tourism industry and those who know [...]

Weekend getaway in Andalusia: Cordoba

By | 2019-04-13T18:21:26+01:00 April 13th, 2019|

We anticipated that parking situation in Cordoba will be as tense as in Malaga or Granade, therefore we googled the free parking before we drove to this city. We found free parking in the area of Torre De Calahorra. You have to be aware of the self-proclaimed “valets”, who wave you in the free slot and “help” you to [...]

Weekend getaway in Andalusia: Granada

For those who searches for a perfect weekend getaway, I have another suggestion! Have you ever considered Malaga as destination point? If not, you should!

A weekend trip to Stockholm

By | 2018-11-13T23:20:47+01:00 November 13th, 2018|

…or STHLM, you will see this abbreviation frequently on the advertisement posters in the metro or buses. We were lucky to visit Stockholm in golden autumn. The second weekend in October this year was sunny and inviting for a long city stroll. In my opinion, Stockholm was a perfect idea for a weekend trip (under condition that you don’t [...]

Skaftafell The day number four was quite relaxed in terms of driving. We drove only around 200 km and were in total 2,5 hours on the road. First, we stopped again at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon to see it in the sun light (I wrote about it in the previous post: Link). Then, we drove to the Skaftafell [...]

This day was a hard-driving day: we spent more than 5 hours on the road, 400 km driven. However, driving in Iceland was pleasant, even enjoyable. We switched at the wheel and made many sightseeing stops. Seljalandsfoss The first destination on the map was Seljalandsfoss, a high waterfall where you can walk behind the water.
