Lajes do Pico
Road to Lajes do Pico On our way from Madalena to Lajes do Pico, we drove past the highest stratovolcano on the Azores and in Portugal. Its height is 2.351 meters. Just outside of Madalena we stopped because of the magnificent view. On one side we saw the volcano with some old vineyards and on the other side the ocean with a scenery of Horta in the distance. It was beautiful. We must have stayed there for half an hour. Pico island is a different island than Flores. Pico has more volcanic beaches and Flores has more high ground. They are both beautiful in there own way. Museum of the…

The start of our trip in the Azores, Portugal
Travel day One of the things we love while traveling is the days we just can sit down and relax before catching our flight. This time it was a little bit different. We had to make our bicycles travel ready and put them into cardboard boxes. Which was a lot of work. After that we made our way into the airplane to Lisbon (Portugal). As we arrived in Lisbon the first thing we looked for was a lounge. We had a layover of eight hours. This was the part we loved the most. The lounge itself was cheap and had a lot of food and drinks. After those eight hours…

Olympia
New stay We were staying in a small village called Kakovatos. This was the closest house to Olympia that we could find. It’s only a 45 minutes drive away. The cabin is called Turtle cabin and it’s close to the sea. It’s small but had everything we needed for a couple of days. We haven’t got any photo unfortunately. Olympia Olympia is one of the places we really wanted to visit. As we expected, we had a great time. There were a few buildings still standing. The one that stayed the best with us was the stadium itself. When we entered we walked through an archway that was connected to…

Rent a boat and Corinth
Korfos sea fishing Tim loves fishing and wanted to go out on the see to catch some. So he rented a boat for this. The last time he went fishing, let’s say it could have been better. He caught one small fish and instead of catching another one he was left with some sea plants and an angry, luckily small octopus, because it just sounded fun to juggle the octopus around. Tim was surprised with the power the octopus had that was holding his fishing rod and struggled. When he got his fishing rod back, he saw a bitemark in it. When we (Tim, Ellen and Wilco) hired the boat…

The house and Mykines
The house Last week we arrived at our stay in Korfos. A nice town next to the Golf of Egina. The seawater is really refreshing and the town has a lot of restaurants. It’s a wonderful place to stay in. In the weekends it’s very busy, but the rest of the week it’s quiet. Our house is large, it has a pool and enough bedrooms to fit seven people. A great place to stay. Mykines archeological sites We went to Mykines for some ancient archeological sites of Greece. The first was the Palace of Mycenae. A lot of the treasure that was found here was placed in the museum of…

Pisa and Florence
As we left Aosta we drove a little more to the south-east and we settled in Empoli. This city lies nicely in between two major tourist destinations, Pisa and Florence. We booked a nice apartment close to the train station and could visit those two cities easily by train. Pisa We already had a feeling about this city that it was not going to be that impressive. As soon as we arrived and walked straight to the tower of Pisa we knew, we were going to be done here in five minutes. The cathedral was immensely crowded and even though you could enter for free, you still needed to pickup…

War museum and Drunense duinen
Museum of war Overloon This is the biggest museum in the Netherlands regarding World War II. We decided to pay in front because the last time we went to a museum is was sold out. It’s a good thing we did because it was full. After we entered the first thing we found is a hall full of collectibles regarding the German occupation. There is a lot of history to tell and the most interesting thing that we found, is that the Germans loved their paperwork and the reason why Dutch people love their road signs. After the history part we walked into a big hall with a lot of…

Heritage, prisons and craftmanship
We’re enjoying Drenthe quite a bit! The time we took for sightseeing might be to short to see all that we want to see and it turns out there is so much fun stuff to see and do here. Our next best thing of “things to do” on our list was the prison museum in Veenhuizen. This small village was home to the most secure prison in the Netherlands up to 2007. They dedicated one of the buildings as a museum which focusses on the prison system in the Netherlands, starting in the middle ages up to the present day. We booked a guided tour through the part of the…
