It was way back when I read an article in the Guardian Travel Section about these journalist guys who had used social media whilst doing a road trip to make decisions about routes, where to stay , where to eat and drink . Their aim was to drive from Las Vegas to Denver in 5 days. Right I thought I will pinch the idea but take longer and I will do a return trip so I can fly in to Denver visit my "C...

Experience the unique nature of the highest mountain range on the Balkan Peninsula.
The Rila (an old Slavic word, meaning "Water Mountain") Mountains range in Balkan Peninsula is the tallest within southeast Europe. Standing at 2,925 m, or 9,596 ft , Musala is the highest peak. Many of the summits here are close to 3,000 m, or 9,842 ft, high. Rila looks like a rough sea of mountain ridges and peaks, and boasts deep gorges with no less than 150 crystal clear lakes. The mountains have an entirely unique vegetation , thanks to mild winds from the Mediterranean Sea. A big part of the National Park is under the protection of UNESCO. For Mountain tracking lovers, it is one of the best place to visit.

I've been awaiting your blogs about your Colorado trip...
you've visited some iconic sights...just in time for the autumn display of golden aspens. I see you are headed back to Denver via many national parks...which there are many including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon (north rim), Antelope Canyon (near Page...not a NP), Monument Valley (also no NP but fantastic), Mesa Verde, Great Sand Dunes, etc. If you pass my way on your way to Denver (US 24 goes through Woodland Park), I would love to meet you and take you to lunch or dinner. Send me a private message.

Nice to see my country through your eyes!
Looks like you have been definitely getting around and seeing a lot of the US - the west is definitely beautiful - we have been to a few States out there, but definitely want to see more. Will keep track of some of the places you have been and put on my "list of places to visit" when we finally find time to travel out there. For now will bounce between our sailboat and the east coast - thanks for all the photos - I always have a hard time limiting my photos as well - as I say, more the better to really show what you have seen!! Thanks again
