Tough Fishing Towns
3 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

Our First Puffins
5 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We continue across the North Coast of the island. Small cove (and fishing village) one after another. It’s beautiful, but easy to appreciate how tough life must have been. We go on a few coastalЧитать далее
St John’s
9 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

Tough Country
11 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
After St John’s, we have a couple of days before we need to catch the ferry back to the mainland. This gives us time to look at the far East and South coasts of the island. First stop is Cape Spear,Читать далее
A New Deadline
14 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
Our return to the mainland coincides with advice (finally) from the shipping company of the date to drop the Troopy off in Montreal. We’ve got nine days! So, we go the long way (which, admittedly,Читать далее
Quebec City
19 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We find a good campground on the outskirts of Quebec City and spend a full day preparing the Troopy and ourselves for the move across the Atlantic. With this sorted, we then have a couple of days toЧитать далее
Success!!
24 августа 2025 г., Канада ⋅ 🌧 25 °C
We get the Troopy to Montreal with only one minor problem - the handbrake is playing up. At this point it shouldn’t be a problem. We give instructions not to use it (shouldn’t be required) and weЧитать далее

New York, New York
28 августа 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

A New Continent
31 августа 2025 г., Финляндия ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

Valletta - Part 1
3 сентября 2025 г., Мальта ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
It’s going to take a couple more weeks before we can pick up the Troopy, so we toss around a number of options. We come up with a great solution - Malta! We’ve not been there before (it becomesЧитать далее

Valletta - Part 2
6 сентября 2025 г., Мальта ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

Gozo
9 сентября 2025 г., Мальта ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Having spent a week in the capital, we get a hire car and head to Malta’s “second” island, Gozo. It takes over an hour to travel the 50kms to the ferry, which only takes about 30 minutes toЧитать далее
ПутешественникThis is quite beautiful and lately photos of Italy and Spain have been so crowded. This looks much nicer
ПутешественникOutside of Valletta the crowds haven’t been too bad. Put Malta on your list.
The Rest of Malta
12 сентября 2025 г., Мальта ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Our last few days in Malta are spent exploring the main island. Rabat (and the Mdina Fortress) are up there with the best ancient cities in Europe (our view), and the churches, coastline and townsЧитать далее
ПутешественникMalta…what a great choice! I need to learn more about it. The history must be fascinating
Worked out as planned
16 сентября 2025 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

23 сентября 2025 г., Ирландия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

Ist Stop-over
26 сентября 2025 г., Финляндия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
It’s back to Helsinki (again) for our first stop-over on the way home. It’s a bit colder than when we were here a few weeks ago. But it is a lovely city. We stayed in a converted jail!
2nd Stop-over
29 сентября 2025 г., Таиланд ⋅ 🌧 31 °C
An 11 hour flight from Helsinki gets us to our second stop-over location - Bangkok. We only have 48 hours in the city - not enough to get over the jet lag, but we do have a good walk around ChinatownЧитать далее
