Berlin

Getting the boot in
We've spent the last three nights camping in Alberobello, home of all these cute little "Trulli" houses which are cone-shaped limestone roofs. Quite nice. This is down in South-East Italy, the heel of…

Rome then beach
Hi folks. We're currently down in Southern Italy, staying in a caravan park near Sorrento. We had a fantastic time in Rome, seeing all the major sights and staying in a pretty fun hostel (but for the…

Rome
We arrived in Rome yesterday and it's fantastic finally seeing the place. It's just completely jammed with Old Shit (and tourists), you can't wander around without running into something incredibly ol…

Light Fingers in Barcelona
Well I guess it had to happen at some point. I got pickpocketed in Barcelona a couple of days ago. We had just arrived in town, with our huge backpacks on the metro. Classic tactics, they saw my walle…

Two player card games?
As you might imagine, we're spending a fair amount of time sitting around either waiting for transport or travelling. There's also the inevitable nights when it's raining or cold and we want to sit in…

Peniscola
Geo: 40.364661,000.403640 No, not a new drink marketed at the gay market but a beach town on the coast North of Valencia. We decided we needed some more beach time, after our time in San Jose was marr…

San Jose then Valencia
Geo: 39.472906,-000.371813 We arrived in Valencia last night after a mammoth 8.5 hour bus ride through every no-horse town between Almeria and the Costa Blanca. Certainly a long trip, but we're glad t…

Internet cafe crapware

Bilbao and Tex Perkins
Arived in Bilbao on Sunday night pouring with rain. Discovered our hostel was well on the outskirts of town and so had our first night in. Easter Monday in Bilbao was a ghost town. Hardly anyone about…

Donostia or San Sebastian
We had a fantastic time in Donostia, a lovely town on the Basque coast. Arriving on a train in the early morning drizzle wasn't ideal, but things quickly got better. After a short rest, we headed into…

Catalan Food
Posting this from Bilbao but need to get it out before I forget it all. We had a fantastic food experience in Barcelona. Lots of tasty tapas stuff, but the place that really shined was off the beaten…
