One off the cities we really like is Grenoble. Itīs full of life and itīs still not some touristplace like for example Verona wich i dont like at all.

Police in Grenoble


break in mountains


Somewhere between Epinal and Grenoble. And they drive fullsize logging trucks in here!


Maria and Aleksi


France alps
We driving from Epinal to Grenoble in little roads and it is little! Last 15 km (24 miles) before Grenoble took as half hour, so 12 miles/hour :-)First up to mountains then down, tight curves in road wide enough for 1 and half car.

Villach Austria


Ceske Budojovice

There is 67000 jewes in Krakow before WW2, today only 300. More than 65000 lost there lifeīs in here.


Ghetto wall in Krakow


Schindlerīs factory


only still working synagoga in Krakow

You never know what you find in these little villageīs in Chech mountainarea. This little 6 rooms hotel is a pearl. Clean big rooms, amaizing food, own dark beer wich is really good and price is nothing. Room for 3 person, full 3-course diner and punch of those dark pintīs only about 100 bucks.



Little hotel in little village


map of trip

Total cost for this trip is somewhere around 4500 euros (6500 dollars) including everything: casoline, food, drinks, accodations, roadtoll, smokeīs, etc. Thesekind of trips are the only reason why i still work hard 11 month in year.

Galloper: Tilburg is just happens to be in right place stop for night. Beside i like Tilburg, we stay in hotel De Lindeburg, Heuvelring 126. Middle of town, no cars allowed i believe. Only cars we see is townbus. Shops,bar, restaurant, etc close. We spend nice evening walking around, eating nice dinner in some little bar. Weather is really nice, sun shining and warm late in night.

Eryngium: Sometimes life is great, sometimes itīs sucks. Right now when summer is over here up north is sucks. Those 3 or 4 weeks in every summer when i have holiday and can take trip like this is great ; )
