We got up early, had our cinnamon rolls and a coffee and then set off to catch the bus up the valley to the cable car station. Here we cheated and got 2 lifts up to the foot of Kitzsteinhorn, a 3200m high mountain, which is covered in glaciers.The cloud was down all the way... Continue Reading →
We had a lazy day today, intending to recover from yesterday's hike and make plans for our week in Kaprun. We woke fairly early but didn't rush to get up, reading and drinking tea in bed. We then had breakfast in the sunshine before finding the footpath along the river into the town.It didn't take... Continue Reading →
We slept until 8.00 today then John woke me up, wanting to beat the Germans to the waterfall! We were the first campervan in the parking area, so we did ok! The day ended up being quite a long because we ended up hiking 24k with 670m of ascent.The waterfall drops 380m over 3 levels,... Continue Reading →

We've had a lovely holiday, but it's time to go home. I'm ready to go... We've seen the main sights of Marrakesh, I've eaten my fill of tagine and couscous, I need some clean clothes, and I'm looking forward to seeing Millie. After breakfast, we went to get some cash to make sure we had... Continue Reading →
This was to be a very odd Christmas Day, with no family, no presents, no Christmas music or cheesy television programmes, and no Christmas dinner. However, it was still a lovely Christmas Day... Very relaxing. We had a lie in and a late breakfast, and sat on the riad roof terrace for a bit, then... Continue Reading →
Today we had a 2 and a half hour journey to the Atlantic coast to visit the pretty seaside town of Essaouira, with its port, ramparts, beach and medina. After a lovely breakfast of pancakes, fresh coffee and orange juice, our driver picked us up at 9 and we set off through the chaotic roads... Continue Reading →
