Europe 2017: London, in a day...
19 de abril de 2017, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
It starts now: long service leave after 25 years of full time ministry for me [Gordon], and ten years of Helen teaching at Ruyton.
Part one of the holiday is seven weeks in Europe.
The adventures begin here: a day buzzing about in London. Well what else do you take on when you are jet plane sleep deprived and got a day to burn? In fact we sat on the tourist bus for a whole lap of the city. Easy and low tech. Tube is easy enough too. Tomorrow: Tuscany via an early Ryanair flight. More fun.Leer más

Pisa's colourful turny thing
20 de abril de 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Much overlooked, this is the cultural highlight here. Oh, and some dodgy bell tower. Second highlight, a CRACKER of a baptistery!!! Did my Baptist heart much good. Wandered across the city from the train station to the Tower and back. Then back on the train to collect our camper...

From the airport we caught the train to centre of Pisa. Then we walked down the main street to the church, baptistry, and belltower - the leaning one. Plenty of crowds, and the usual junk tourist trinket sales.Leer más

Just Go... (just keep right.)
21 de abril de 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
This van is awesome. 7.5m long and 3.2 wide, it goes fine and is massive armchair comfy. Also terrifying on ancient roads 3.3m wide ;) Note, only one of these vehicles is the van. But who is up for holidays in a Fiat 500 with tiny mud terrain tyres? Or a flat bed 125cc, motor bike?

Driving the camper was a challenge I welcomed - mostly. It felt like being on your driving test - you sort of know what to do but really don't want to get anything wrong.Leer más

Volterra, Italy
21 de abril de 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
For big impact, go small. Volterra is a 'small' hill town. BUT it also packs 2800 years of constant habitation history into its hilltop walls. The etruscan spirit is still kicking on, make no mistake.

Small towns are a great way to appreciate a country's culture. It isn't too weighed down with tourists, and feels very genuine. We joined a local person leading a city walk for an even more personal perspective.Leer más

Siena. Been there. Old, and not.
22 de abril de 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Do you remember the 13th to 15th century? The Sienese sure do. They rocked the world back then, with supersize cathedral attempts and supercivil government. Now it's dukeing it out 21c style with astounding art and aravicious retail outlets. 13c; bring it back....

We parked the camper on the edge of town and caught a bus in. We visited the city square, the Duomo, a traditional cafe, and walked back through the city to the bus stop. Couldn't find the right bus back - and rode for over an hour through very working class areas of Siena.Leer más

Assisi. All creation and eras praise.
24 de abril de 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
I thought Assisi was Francis' surname. This is his home town, though is roman era old. It has both ornate and simple churches. It has outwardly religious people, bars, and bowmen. It seeks what Francis longed for, that all creation knows it lives under the deep and unstoppable grace of God.

Parked in a dedicated motorhome site near Santa Maria degli Angeli, and ten minute bus ride up to Assisi. Walked from the basilica up to the top of the town, then back down again. Highlight was the next morning between at 8.15 til 9. We returned to the St Francis' basilica. Too early for Italy. Helen and I had the whole of St Francis basilica virtually to ourselves.
Now on to Firenze, Florence.Leer más

Florence stretches from renaissance living to real(ish) leather goods, and all points in between. It's been home to Michaelangelo, Leonardo da vinca, Dante, and us (well for coffee in the piazza and for a dinner in the street). Moving on again tomorrow, to...

We parked in a campsite on the southwest edge. Twenty minute bus ride into town. Really really crowded with tourists during the day. Virtually empty early in the morning. Visited the Uffizi Gallery, the Academia, and the Galileo museum.Leer más

Dirk Quartel...Luca?? If you go there, don't hire the 4 person bikes. For 2 reasons. 1, you don't need one because you're kids are back in Aust. 2, they look like they are much more fun than they actually are. It's a great town to explore though.

ViajeroTa 4 this Dirk, and your the encouragement that's helped us do this. Lucca would be Brill but we turned right from Florence, and now in Reggio Emilia. Self-guided PD session for Helen and I. :)

Levanto, Cinque Terra's front door
28 de abril de 2017, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Italians love their front doors. They are often a main feature, though we often overlook them on the way beyond. Levanto will not be overlooked. It is cosy and colourful, with an Apollo Bay holiday vibe (if AB was 1000 years old and made of pizza and chianti). We've spent half our time here. Glad for the rest.

Loved the cosy rural small town setting. Stayed three nights in the Aqua Dolche park. Caught the train along the five lands. Even WALKED over the hill from Monterosso to Levanto - three hours, mostly steps. Crowds of cruise boat tourists weigh in on these beautiful villages.Leer más

'Gourdon'. Must be an awesome place.
30 de abril de 2017, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Now venturing beyond the cosy confines of Italian order and serenity. First night was here. They almost spelt it correctly too, tho meaning is the same: fortress. Can see a bit from here: that'll be Nice down there, and that's Antibe, and that's Canne....

Very very long winding road to get up here. Very stressful driving for us both. Very quaint little French hamlet up the top of the hill in the old fort. Had planned to get to Verdon Gorge from here but couldn't find turnoff, so ended up at our next spot...Leer más

Avignon: centre of the western church
2 de mayo de 2017, Francia ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Well it was the centre for a bit, like two hundred years or so. Life for the Pope was a bit (politically) hot in Rome in the 1300s. So what's a Pope to do? Build a new city for yourself and few thousand mates, that's what. Make the walls 10 foot thick. Then wait a couple of hundred years, shift the whole show back to Rome, and have a French revolution. Now all these flash 1300s mansions and palaces are ready for the average punter. It's really beautiful and up market in an otherwise challenging part of France.

Stayed in a campsite just across the river - fifteen minute walk into the old town. Many high end shops and strong tourist focus, though the wider population is quite poor. Had dinner in the city centre on Rue Republic. It is still a beautiful town.Leer más

Arles. What did the Romans do for them..
3 de mayo de 2017, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
A theatre for one, an amphitheatre right next door for two, and a marvellous crypt. Sort of MCG / tennis centre precinct a la first century. Van Gogh also made it his home for some years. His art is reproduced at the sites he painted. In more recent news, today was Arles market day. Hankering for fresh fish, sweet nougat, old car parts or cheap sunnies? Its all here waiting.

Caught the train from Avignon to here. The markets are colourful with food, products, and people. The Roman heritage is very present and still actively used in town.Leer más

Dirk Quartel I'd be passing on the fish and looking for the big tray of fresh croissants and French cheeses. This is not the time nor place to be eating healthy!

Romans love a good bath. And a fountain or two. Oh and it helps if one keeps the slaving masses alive. All this needs water. As I'm sure you realise, this isn't even a pont; it's an aqueduct. Over 50 km in total, it drops just 25cm per km. Kudos to roman nerds. This span, the longest of the roman ones is over 250 meters long, aka three Airbus A380s. What a testament to roman ingenuity, culture, and the power of water.Leer más

(a bridge for you non francophiles). This one is made without human hands: only nature's hand using stone, water, wind, and time. Pont-dArc is part of the Ardeche gorge: picture the Murray River flowing through the Grampians, it's that huge. It's also a national attraction for canoeing and caving; only partly because we canoed it.

We stayed in a local motorhome parking site for one night here. Dinner in the main street, why did we order pizza?Leer más

Interlaken is a big country tourist town. There are plenty of shops restaurants and hotels to keep you fed and comfy. It was raining heaps so we rested up here. Interlaken is also the beginning for ventures in the Jungfrau region. And that's where we are heading next...

We settled here for a few days after the long commute from Provence. Weather was average, waiting for it to break so we can head up the slopes. Rode up Harden Klum for a great view and a cheap lunch. Successfully shopped for shoes and gifts.Leer más

8 de mayo de 2017, Suiza ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Yep, there are five waterfalls in view as we tuck in for the night. This is because this glacial valley has vertical walls over 200 meters high. It's a long way for water and base jumpers to fall. Some waterfalls are INSIDE the mountains, and the Swiss drill tunnels so you can visit them too. Wonderous, but there's more to come...

This is only half an hour up the road from Interlaken. We stayed in Stechenburg, close to the lifts up to Schilthorn. Walked back from Lauterburnnen , and went to Trummelbach falls.Leer más

Wow is international language for 'I do not believe what I am looking at, and clearly no one else in this cable car does either'.

Autostrade/route/bahns. A user guide.
10 de mayo de 2017, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Here's a quick user guide to motorways, as we've done eight hours on the road today from Switzerland most of the way to Paris.

French autoroute. Respectable paved roads with utterly random toll booths.
Italian autostrade. A bit of old roman goat track with toll booths attached.*
Swiss autosomething. Am I driving? I feel like I'm flying...
Toll booths. Simultaneous yoga stretching and marriage enrichment exercise.
THAT sound. It's either an Aston Martin Vanquish or a Porsche GT3. Always heard before seen.
Fiat Panda. A tin can mechanically or legally incapable of more than 87kph.
A truck. Speed limited to 90 (ish) in 130kph zones. Aka a rolling brick wall.
The other traffic. Happily doing 130kph (except the Pandas). Aka a rolling kick in the behind.
A Motorhome. A hotel suite on wheels, which beyond 110kph thinks and behaves like a hovercraft.
You. A Motorhome, dodging the trucks at 90 and the cars at 130. More on this in another post.

Happy trails to you...

*actually some of the Italian autostrades are amazing. I don't know how this happened.Leer más

Stayed in a campsite on the southwest edge of town. Ten minute walk to the train, twenty minute ride into town. Rode the bus across the city from the Tower to the Bastille then walked back to Notre Dame. St Chapelle was amazing. Rode a riverboat up and down the Seine to catch the local charm.Leer más

Versailles. Birthplace of democracy?
12 de mayo de 2017, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
"Versailles represents the highest and lowest points in European royalty" Discuss.
When you are the King, and the Louvre is too dinky and squat, and you don't like the neighbours, you built Versailles.
When you want to forget the poor exist, live in Versailles for a few generations.
When the poor remind you they really do exist, and would like to keep on existing, they cart the royalty from Versailles for especially strong punishment.

It is still stunning inside and out, vast and exorbitant. That happens when you act like a Sun God and spend half the national GDP on your manshed.Leer más

Paris part two: the art binge session.
13 de mayo de 2017, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We don't aim low: two vast internationally famous museums, one day to do them. An early start leads to a full and brilliant day. Musee d'Orsay in the morning for 19th and 20th century art. They also have a special exhibition on modern art's take on spirituality as seen in the metaphor of landscapes (that's totally me). Starts with Monet, ends with Kandinsky (as you do).
The Louvre in the afternoon for anything this side of India in the past 3000 years that wasn't nailed down (and much that was).
We really enjoyed both these places. Then to finish the day... that's the next post.Leer más

13 de mayo de 2017, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Louvre. Done. Museum d'orsay. Done by 4pm. Now, let's do the Champs-Elysées, Paris' mashup of top end Collins Street shops with Royal Parade width and trees. We walk from the Louvre up to the Arch de Triomphe. Then climb to the top of the Arch for a look at the city.
By now its dinner time. So we walk back down to the Renault concept store. It had an upstairs restaurant overlooking the action on Champs-Elysées. Rough enough. After the traditional slow service we walk for a 9.30pm train 'home'.
