Wow!!!! What else can be said about ths city? It had everything there.... Really is a beautiful city and we thought it showed it's best at night when all the light came on, truley amazing place to be. Really were rushed trying trying to fit everything in over the three days we had there but think we went and had a look at most sights. The louvre is absolutely massive and we only spent a few hours in there looking around and of course we went and had a look at the Mona Lisa painting along with everyone else in the city. Anyone could spend a month in there looking around but with our limited time we had to pick and choose where to go. Of course we went and had a look at the Eiffel ... read more

In France for five nights and quite possibly put on five kilos thanks to the fab bakeries here! But is also has been the most frustrating time for us. We first arrived in Chamonix from Geneve, we had enough of the big city's after one day and headed right back up into the Alps on the France side this time. Also here is the largest mountain in Europe so we thought we had better check it out. Chamonix is another small village with 5000 ppl and of course very touristy but it is the off season so we were happy with that, but that also means that not everything is open and there is only one hostel open (not camping from last experience) and I didn't realise how lost we could get in a small town ... read more

Everyone get your passports organised because you will want to go to this place!! I decided to do a blog just on this small town off 200 odd people just because it is simply amazing! Most of you would know that I was coming here after stumbling across it over a year ago on the net and then and there I decided I was heading to this remote village.Getting here is quite difficult as there are no cars allowed and either hiking or using the cable car is the only means of transport. The town is on a cliff face over looking a massive valley and with snow capped mountains on the other side it is just amazing.Think this place would be full of touirsts... think again... The goverment put a hold on building, saying that ... read more

Already I am doing another update and not even a week has passed so we must have been busy of late! I think from where we left off last time we were staying in a city called Mainz on the river Rhine and the next day was a cruise on the river for the day. The couple that we were staying with were gracious enough to give us a bottle of wine from the area to take along, they spoilt us heaps :) So off we went along the river and they told us to get off at a small town called Rüdesheim to climb the hill to where a monument of a lady is. I think she has something to do with all the wine in the area (and there is an unbelievable amount off ... read more

I have been up to a fair bit over the past couple of weeks, and have travelled a fair way during that time. Last update, we were heading to the Peak District to do some hiking for two nights but not exactly what we expected. We thought when hearing the 'Peak' word that there could be at least a couple of mountains around the place but, nothing at all really. The area was still nice though and very green with rolling hills, so that made the walking nice and easy. Once again we were camping each night in a paddock, which we had know idea if someone was going to come after us with a shotgun or not, but the insects were bad enough as soon as the sun started to set. I have know idea ... read more
