Taking time to reflect. In Australia and New Zea

Taking time to reflect.

In Australia and New Zealand, 25 April is a day of Rembrandt, respect and reflection.

We remember those who have fought and fallen for our country in all wars and conflicts. It's also a day to recognise our veterans and those serving.

We've been fortunate to visit and pay our respects at some war cemeteries on our travels.

We share our experience visiting Gallipoli in Turkey some years ago. Read about it by clicking on the link in the comments section below

Mosjoen doesn't rate highly on places to visit in

Mosjoen doesn't rate highly on places to visit in Norway.

With long distances to contend with on our driving tour of the country last year, we often scheduled overnight stays in some small towns on the way.

One such place was Mosjoen. Located about 100km from the Arctic Circle, the town is one of Norway's hidden gems.

Our hotel @fruhauganshotel was in the picturesque Sjogata historic district with well preserved traditional wooden buildings and views of the sea and mountains.

As with most Norwegian destinations, there are plenty of beautiful hiking trails

Our stay ended up being much more than we had expected and we recommend taking the opportunity to stay if you're planning a roadtrip into Norway's Arctic Circle.

Cochem is a fairytale town on the Moselle River su

Cochem is a fairytale town on the Moselle River surrounded by terraced vineyards for as far as the eye can see.

The old town is full of narrow cobblestoned streets lined with half timbered houses.

If you're planning a visit, make sure you save time to walk along the Moselle River promenade where you can watch riverboats serenely moving up and down the river.

Take a walk over the bridge to capture views of the Reichsburg Castle and the old town from another angle.

Cochem must be on your itinerary if you're visiting the Rhineland region of Germany.

Take a look at our blog post for our recommendations for things to do while you're there. The link is in the comments section below 👇👇👇

Morning haze hung over Grund, the district which makes up the lower area of Luxembourg city.

The lower town is nestled in a valley next to the Alzette River and is a "village within a city" with picturesque streets and an authentic atmosphere.

After wandering through the lower town in the morning, we went to Chemin de la Corniche in the afternoon. The Corniche is described as the most beautiful balcony in Europe providing picturesque views over the area below.

Indeed, it added to our visit. You can walk along the promenade which connects the lower and upper cities while enjoying the spectacular views. A wonderful spot to visit in the late afternoon or early evening.

The Man in the Wall is just one little find on our rambles around the hills of Montmartre in Paris.

Get sneaky views over the city, pass by the vineyard in the city, look up at the Basilique du Sacre Coeur de Montmartre and the panoramic views from the highest point in Paris then wander down through the backstreets to the Wall of Love.

If you're out early, you'll find you have the streets to yourself. A lovely way to escape the chaos in the city.

Take a look at our blog where we share highlights of our walk at Montmartre. The link is in the comments section below ⬇️

The White Water Tower on the ramparts in tbe Danis

The White Water Tower on the ramparts in tbe Danish city of Fredericia in the south eastern Jutland region.

We stopped in the city on our way to Aarhus which is Denmark's second largest city after Copenhagen.

We spent time at the tower and the ramparts before strolling the short distance to the main precinct and on to the port. Scroll through the pictures to follow our route.

There's no doubt that Copenhagen should be a priority if you're visiting Denmark but remember that there's plenty to see and do in other parts of the country as well.

This time last year we were visiting Siem Reap on our first trip to Cambodia.

Known as "The Land of Sun abd Endless Smiles", Cambodia is an Asian country we recommend visiting.

Despite enduring challenging times, the people are kind, caring and compassionate. Predominantly Buddhist, they believe in harmony and joyfulness.

The Cathedral de Leon stood out boldly as we came

The Cathedral de Leon stood out boldly as we came over the hill to descend in the outskirts of the northern Spanish city.

The Gothic cathedral dates back to the 13th century and is one of the city's most prominent historic buildings - Impressive from every angle.

We stayed in Leon while walking the Camino de Santiago and agreed that whether you're walking the Camino or not, Leon is a city to visit if you're searching for an authentic Spanish experience.

Despite its small population and size, the city serves up big when it comes to tapas bars, eateries, elegance and historic attractions.

We tell you more in a chapter of our Camino chronology. Take a look through the link below.

Friday Flashback. Taking a trip down memory lane

Friday Flashback.

Taking a trip down memory lane to our trip to Egypt a few years ago. These shots were taken around Aswan marketplace

Yes, the monuments, temples and remnants of an ancient civilisation were jawdropping!

On our travels, we're also curious to learn about the lifestyles of the people of the country we're travelling in. One of the best ways to do this is to pay a visit to the local markets.

What's your favourite way to learn about the people and life in places you visit?

St Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany. The city is

St Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany.

The city is the eighth largest in Germany and known as the birth place of composer, Richard Wagner.

Leipzig has a long history as being a home for composers and musicians for centuries. Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann all lived and worked there.

Bach worked as the choirmaster in St Thomas Church for more than 25 years and holds such a special place in the hearts of locals that his remains are interred in the nave and his statue prominently stands outside.

The Lutheran Church is a beautiful building to visit inside for its Romanesque architecture and stained glass windows.

Just one of the highlights of our visit to the city last year!

Views of Puente Nuevo spanning the gorge which divides the iconic Spanish town of Ronda.

We based ourselves in this mountaintop town in southern Spain to explore Ronda and the other white villages in the area. Each white village is unique and has its own charm and character.

While the town, bridge and surrounding countryside are spectacular to look at from the many viewpoints, a walk into the gorge to view the bridge from a different perspective is a must-do if you're visiting Ronda. We took the walk in the early in the day when we had the track to ourselves and the early morning light gave the bridge a special glow.

Untouched by mass tourism, the Swiss town of Montr

Untouched by mass tourism, the Swiss town of Montreuxo n Lake Geneva was a delightful find.

As tour groups and tourists flock to the more popular towns around Lakes Lucerne and Lugano, we found the laidback atmosphere of Montreux was exactly what we needed after visiting some of the most tourist driven parts of Switzerland.

Surrounded by picturesque alpine mountain scenery, we could stroll the paths around Lake Geneva at different times of the day and visit the terraced Lavaux vineyards a short drive away.

It's no wonder that the area attracts international celebrities seeking peace and serenity to live there.

Our latest blog post tells you more about Montreux, surrounding towns and how to spend your time in the small piece of paradise in Switzerland. You'll find the link below in the comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️
