Athenian Graffiti
One of the things that struck us most about Athens, even in the historical old town, was the ridiculous amount of graffiti. It was literally everywhere, even on the ancient...

Athens
Until recently, my experience of Greece has been limited to the beautiful island of Rhodes, which I loved so much, I went back again for a second time (very rare...

Staatsstraße
The ride back along Staatsstraße from Bormio to Campitello di Fassa, where I was camped for the night was smooth and meandering rather than hairpin-twisty. The road carved easily through...

South Tyrol
I was sure Switzerland had ruined the rest of my trip, since my experience in Slovenia and Croatia, by comparison, had been so underwhelming. I thought it was all downhill...
Photography
Plitviče National Park

Photography
Northern Croatia

Photography
Laghi di Fusine
After driving south through Austria on their awful motorway system (basically 200 miles of rumble-strip), I cut across a bite-sized chunk of Italy on my way to Slovenia. Whilst there,...
Photography
Bled
My second stop in Slovenia was Lake Bled, a popular tourist hotspot that I'd been looking forward to seeing for quite some time. All of the photographs I'd seen of...
