Taipei, October 2024
A few busy days during a rainy stop-over in the capital city of Taiwan.
Lofotia, August 2024
Renting a car in the hard working miners’ city of Kiruna with an idea of going to Norway for a week in a hired rorbu hut on Moskenes, the southwestern island of the Lofoten. And a road trip with a tent before and after that. We have had an incredible luck with the weather with eastern winds bringing sunny weather for a time long enough for us to make a few very satisfying hikes.
Valli di Lanzo, July 2023
A busy week in two of the three Valli di Lanzo in Piemont: Val Grande and Val d’Ala. Lesser known Italian Alps.
Hurtigruten, October 2022
The classical Norwegian postal ship route from Bergen up north along the coast and back.
Fjord Norway, September-October 2022
Before embarking one of the Hurtigruten ships we spent a week in a typically Norwegian house by one of the furthest branches of the Sognefjorden by Marifjøra, making trips around the area.
La Gomera, March 2022
A week of leisure and hiking on the island of La Gomera. Arriving and leaving with a ferry from Tenerife and staying in a rural house in the beautiful village of Alojera on the forgotten western coast of the island.
Gorce, June 2021
Staying in two cottages in the Polish Beskidy Mountains, we repeated a lot of our routes from the past in the Gorce range and in the neighbouring Pieniny and Beskid Wyspowy, with a short trip to the Polish part of Spisz.
Vestfirðir, August 2020
In the second half of our trip to Iceland in 2020 we went to the majestic Vestfirðir, the Westfjords, where we enjoyed an exceptionally stable fair weather.
Snæfellsnes, August 2020
We spent three nights in Hellnar on the Snæfellsness peninsula in the western Iceland and made a few trips around: views, waterfalls, beaches, churches, cemeteries, cafés…
Kaldidalur, August 2020
After a day in Fjallabak, we drove from the Þjórsá river valley to the Snæfellsnes peninsula via the majestic Kaldidalur route between the huge Langjökull glacier and the Ok mountain (its glacier had already melted…), visiting on the way three fine waterfalls.
Fjallabak, August 2020
At the very beginning of our road trip to Iceland in the strange year of 2020, we have made a short side trip we have always wanted to do since 1990. Landmannalaugar, in the Iceland’s Fjallabak, the land behind the mountains.
