Ahhh Paris! The city of love! This was my 3rd visit to Paris. The first time I didn’t like it at all. I was there at Christmas time and it was cold, bleak and soul-less. Everyone had left for warmer waters and my dreams of this amazingly romantic city were dashed. The next time I […]
As part of my European vacation I was dying to tick of a few bucket list items even though I was cramming them into an already jam packed itinerary. But that’s the way I roll. When I am on holidays there is no time to rest. After spending 24 hours in Halstatt (which was no where […]
After spending an amazing time at Lake Bled, Slovenia the next stop on the Riss and Andy Euro Road Trip was Hallstatt, Austria. I had seen numerous pictures of this iconic and famous place but I wanted to see it with my own eyes. The Baroque style houses perched along the edge of a majestic lake […]
You’ve all seen that iconic picture of the beautiful church sitting atop its own little island surrounded by still water and snow capped mountains.

This hotel is located in the heart of the city, in an up and coming art district overlooking the marina. […]
Of the seven days that we were in Iceland the drive from Vik to Jokulsarlon was the scariest. Normally this drive would be pleasant and scenic but today was the day that the massive storms were hitting the South of Iceland and we were driving through the middle of it. If you missed the first […]
Following on from Camper Van adventures Part 1 we had arrived at Vik in the South of Iceland. Vik is a great place to base yourself for a couple of days due to its proximity to the waterfalls that we visited the day before which you can read about in the blog above, the dramatic coastline […]

After four days and five flights I finally reached my destination of Lofoten, Norway! Coming from Australia (the bottom of the world) where it was 32 degrees, hot and sunny the day that I left and arriving in Norway (the top of the world) to 2 degrees and snow was a bit of a shock. […]
