Europe 2014 – Porto, It Grows on You
A nice morning greeted us and we made our way into Porto on the bus with a full schedule of sightseeing on the agenda. As had been, and would be the case in the future, the bus stop was not far from the campground providing a ride into town, about 20 minutes with a final […]
Europe 2014 – Porto, Welcome to Portugal
We broke camp at Cancelas and with a somewhat short drive to Porto, decided to try to find out what those interesting buildings were on the top of the hill that we’d aimed for on our bike ride a day or so earlier. Joanna had picked up some information at the campsite for this complex, […]
Europe 2014 – Santiago de Compostela – The End of the Camino
We’d stopped at a Carrefour in Lugo and picked up dinner supplies there, so we set up at Camping As Cancelas, had our meal, including a bottle of that nice white wine we’d discovered in Pamplona, and then made our way down to the restaurant/bar of the campground to check out the ambience and the […]
Europe 2014 – Burgos and Leon or the Hit and Run Cathedral Tour
Our plan for the next two days would be to stay in a hotel each night in Burgos and Leon. Outside of their respective cathedrals, neither town had much more to see and for a bit more than the cost of camping, we could take in the sights, make time, and gain a day […]
Europe 2014 – Pamplona Minus the Bulls
It was a pretty long, but uneventful drive from the Dordogne down to Pamplona. We hit a couple of short sections of toll road, but the charges were reasonable. We crossed over into Spain just south of Bayonne and Biarritz on Highway N121-A, a good road that brought us to Camping Ezcaba, about five miles […]
Europe 2014 – The Dordogne, Part One
We arrived at Le Capeyrou Campground at the edge of the small town of Beynac mid afternoon on Friday, May 30th and were delighted with the site and its facilities. Beynac is a picaresque place, with its well-known castle perched high atop a steep hill overlooking the Dordogne River. For the first time on the […]
Europe 2002 – Return to Ludwig’s Way (Koning-Ludwig’s Weg), Part Two
Note to Readers. While looking through prior posts this one appears to not have been posted. If it is a duplicate, sorry about that! Up early to get on the trail, checking in luggage at the Hauptbahnhof went smoothly and we then boarded the S6 line for our ride out to the last stop at […]
Europe 2014 – Camping du Perroquet: Seriously, We’re Thinking of Doing this for Six Months?
We left Brussels after checking out of Maison Noble mid-morning, saying farewell to Matthieu as he saw us off in order to see the Highlander we’d been talking about. As check in time for the campground we’d be staying at wasn’t until 2:00 pm and the drive would only take about 90 minutes, we decided […]
Europe 2014 – Brussels: We Have Pride
We slept well that night and awoke to another tasty buffet breakfast. The now familiar walk up to the St. Catherine Metro stop, transfer to the train to Antwerp, and handling tickets all seemed to go more smoothly. We arrived at Antwerp Central in less than an hour and found ourselves in one of those […]
Europe 2014 – Brussels: We Have Arrived
We thought we had a lot of time built into our last couple of days in Charlotte, but the number of small tasks that needed completing in order for us to leave the house and our affairs in order for six months took care of the entirety of Monday and had us hustling Tuesday morning. […]
