Bonjour from Switzerland. We've been staying with our friends Adelio and Delphine at La Tour-de-Peliz, near Lausanne, on Lake Lèman, Switzerland. The weather has been ok, apart from a couple of half days of rain. The first night we were there, it was raining, and this was a good enough reason as any for Delphine to make us a cheese fondue, which was great. Belinda watched carefully in the hope of replication. As you know, Switzerland is all about cheese, choco...

Having been to Paris before, we en...

Copenhagen has a system where you can put 20 kroner (5 dollars) in a bike, and take it for as long as you like, when you return it, you get your money back. S...

We decided to come to the UK after all. We were here for 6 weeks a few years ago, and we decided we had seen enough of the kingdom. But, happily, we met enough people from the UK travelling in the Americas, who we were able to vist. So we flew for $0 plus taxes from Barcelona to London airport, and caught a bus straight to Rugby (or the village of Stretton-under-Fosse actually),where our diving mate Toby lives. Toby took us around the area, and we went to the mu...
