Solčava Panoramic Road On the way from Maribor to Bled, we took a scenic detour along the very twisty Solčava Panoramic Road for some amazing views. Logar Valley While pretty, we found the valley to...

Euro Fall Trip: Slovenia – Boca Falls + Kobarid, the rainy day
Note: Unlike the Bled version, the Julian Alps Card: Soča Valley was 25€ with no discount for staying in the valley. I did the math and we didn't find enough interesting things that were included to...
Euro Fall Trip: Slovenia – Bled to Bovec, the detour day
Our original plan was to drive northwest out of Bled and go across the Vršič Pass to Bovec, with plenty of time for photos of mountain views. Alas, that is not how the day unfolded! What should have...
Euro Fall Trip: Slovenia – Lake Bohinji
Note: When we booked our accommodations in Bled, our hosts sent us a link to apply for the Julian Alps Card: Bled. In theory you are supposed to be able to get the card if you stay in Bled for 3 or...
Iguazu Falls: Iguaçu National Park, Brazil
On this day we started with Patricia (our driver from the previous day) picking us at 10am. Getting across the border was very straightforward on the Argentina side and a bit more tedious on the...
Iguazu Falls: Iguazú National Park, Argentina
Instead of taking the the bus we decided to hire a driver, so we were picked at 7:30am in front of our apartment by Patricia and reached the falls just before 8am. I had bought tickets online...
Villa la Angostura: Route 64 + Lago Traful
Our plan was to work our way to Bariloche via the Circuito Grande (Rt 65 / 237), a 60k route that was mostly dirt/gravel with a few unexpected paved areas. Before setting off we wanted to fill our...
Villa la Angostura: Seven Lakes Route + San Martin de los Andes
One of the main reasons we traveled to this part of Argentina was to explore the famous Seven Lakes route. We visited the Lakes Region in Chile in 2019 and loved it, so we thought we would like the...
Villa la Angostura: in town + nearby sites
Best laid plans don’t always work out, even when you are a planner! We started the day thinking we would visit a few waterfalls along Rt 231, close to the Chilean border. Turns out that about 13km...
Faroe Islands 2024: Day 6, Elduvík, Funningur, Saksun
For our last full day in the islands we decided to visit several places we hadn’t made it to yet, starting with Elduvík. A lovely village with 12(!?) full time residents and a gorge that was noted...
Faroe Islands 2024: Day 4, Tórshavn and Kirkjubøur
Weather to the north was supposed to be cloudier, so we decided to explore south this day. Our first stop was the waterfall in Hósvík. We tried to find a place to park in town but had no luck, so...
Faroe Islands 2024: Day 3, Saksun, Fossá, Tjørnuvík, Kluftáfossur, Gjógv
On day 2 (Tuesday), it rained all day, so we decided to just stay in and read. When the rain let up for a bit, we ventured out to the other nearby grocery store, Á, and picked up a few additional...
Faroe Islands 2024: Day 1, arrival, Múlafossur, Bøur, Leynar and our airbnb
Our first task upon arrival was to scope out the duty free at the airport. Alcohol is notoriously expensive on the island with only a few dedicated shops sell during limited hours. We decided on a...
Europe Spring 2024: Istria waterfalls
Pazinski krov / Pazin Roof waterfall - lightly muddy, but not too bad. Great water flow due to recent rains and I continued upstream for views of additional cascades. Zarečki Krov Waterfall - just...
Europe Spring 2024: Plitvice Lakes National Park
Plitvice Lakes National Park was an absolute must-do on this trip, and it did not disappoint. After a quick breakfast, we grabbed our backpack and were out the door before 8:30am. Our hotel was just...
Europe Spring 2024: Driving to Plitvice, Istria, and Zagreb
On this trip we focused on northern Croatia, spending the majority of our time near Plitvice and in Istria. That necessitated a car, and all together, we drove about 800km across small country roads...
Florida’s Sun Coast: stop in Greenville, SC
The first day of our trip took us from Durham to Atlanta, and along the way we stopped in Greenville, SC for lunch at a brewery and photos of an urban waterfall. Parking was surprisingly hard to...
The mountain vacation that wasn’t
Instead of heading out-of-state for Memorial Day we planned a week-long return (2021, 2022) to the NC mountains. As the title of this post indicates, it simply wasn't meant to be... On 11am Friday...
