Just back from a road tripping week-end in the North of France – Le Touquet, Hardelot-Plage and Boulogne-sur-Mer

Against my own best advice as regards travelling in August, the weather in Belgium just managed to chase us out of the country once more. This time direction France, Nord-pas-de-Calais region. Now, this is not exactly the European South so we did not expect 30 + degrees and warm seas but we did want some …

First encounter with Ubud, Indonesia

After a 16h flight and two transfers, this was a much awaited encounter indeed. First 7 impressions: 1. Flip-flops are in fashion. Even more so, there must be a note somewhere saying they are mandatory in Indonesia as 99% of the people we met were wearing them. 2. If you re motivate enough, you can …

A healthy portion of nature from Azores – Sao Miguel Island

I'll start with a few pics from past trips to get the hang of this blogging thing. Below, the twin lakes of Sao Miguel, Azores. Even with a basic point and shoot camera, the beauty of the place was hard to miss. The lush green scenery provided a great background for a lost, white building. …
