Maria & George's Travels: Vignettes of our adventures
Montenegro is so small you can see it’s entire length and breadth from the peak of Mount Lovcen. But it’s packed with so much history, culture, architecture, and natural beauty – towering mountains; long, sandy beaches; majestic fjords – that a month wasn’t enough to see it all.
Serbia has a fascinating history, impressive historic architecture, spectacular mountains and parks, the Danube River, high-end restaurants and shopping. Everything you could want. What is lacks is foreign visitors. Why?
If you like cheese, seafood, beef, and/or hiking, the Azores is for you. Part of Portugal, the Azores is an archipelago of nine volcanic islands in the mid-Atlantic. There are relatively few tourists, but plenty of cattle and scores of volcanic calderas to hike into and around.
A month in the Dominican Republic. From the congested bustle of Santo Domingo to the solitude of one of the world’s best beaches to the colourful, noisy streets of Las Terrenas.
Martinique and Guadeloupe are French Overseas Departments. Beyond practicing our French, eating too many pain aux raisins and spending a pile of Euros, we saw the striking contrasts with the neighbouring former British colonies.
