Hoi allemaal! Weer eens tijd voor een update. Vandaag precies een week geleden in St Petersburg aangekomen. Een stad waar heel veel te zien is. Natuurlijk Hermitage/Winterpaleis, St. Isaacs Cathedral (prachtig uitzicht vanaf de toren over de stad), Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood, Peterhof en nog veel meer moois. Helaas kan ik nog geen foto's online zetten, maar het is echt allemaal erg mooi. Het hostel is ook prima; gezellig en prima locatie. Vrij veel mensen hier die ook de trans mon...

We've departed from Moscow International Airport "Domodedovo" for Naples International Airport "Capodichino".

When we turned up to the grand city of Volgograd (like London with its architecture) we were dissapointed to find we got turned away so many times at the hotels, because of our dress sense. Whats wrong with cargo pants and a T-shirt? Grrr.

Cardiff to Ulan Bator in a 19 year old car!

For all you gay lesbian guys and girls out there. There is a scene in Moscow For lesbians it is 12 volts one night a week, for the boys there is 911 a fully fledged gay bar and Maki Cafe is gay friendly with excellent food. there are a few gay clubs Chance and Three Monkeys went there once and it was just like a gay club anywhere... not my scene really but had to go and see it once. Foam party and all

I have divided Europe into 3 parts to be manageable to visit all of its countries and see the at least the main cathedrals, museums, and antiquities. This trip included, Russia, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Luxembourg. I attended the ballet with Laura Bush and an opera with the Queen of Denmark. Neither one knew I was there. It took about 4 weeks and a lot of driving. Hope you enjoy the pictures, which I shall edit as I have time.

World of beers..........Cheers

For us it was the first attempt to plan "self-made" car travel. And Norway was the right choice for it. Every region (or even smaller communes) of Norway have its own website with a bunch of useful information for travellers (tips, maps, suggestions and many more) on many languages. The main problem during planning stage was not to FIND an information but to REFINE it=) As starting point for country overview we could recommend www.visitnorway.com and then decide which part of country (can be ...

I hadn't realized we hadn't entered anything since the 17th.  Sorry!  I tried to put pictures on but with no success.  I wiil get help from my friend's husband.  We went to Helsinki, Finland yesterday.  We took a tour of an old town named Porvoo.  Poor was more like it.  It was a small quaint town established in 1550, but burned down several times by the Russians.  The buildings there now are from the 1700's.  We ate linch(part of the tour of cours...
