"Welcome to my travelpages!" yumyum's Profile
My first trip abroad was to Vienna when I was five years old. Ever since then the travel bug has never left me although the interests in different countries have changed. I work, save money, travel, work and save money again and again....
Generally, I prefer travelling by train even long distances and even if it means that I don't know how to sit anymore :)))
I am lucky that I have been to many countries. First I travelled with my parents mainly to Austria, Holland, Germany, Mallorca, Athens. Later I did two long overland trips (3 and 7 months) with Encounter Overland, a company no longer existing, with camping and cooking ourselves through many African and Asian countries. I've also been to Australia several times. OZ used to be my favourite country. But these days I cannot tell you which my favourite country is. I've also been on a couple of cruises, one of which took me to South America. In the past few years, I've enjoyed exploring more of Europe.
Happy travels to everyone!
(PS: I'm not interested in people seeking romance, so don't bother adding me as a friend or writing to me if that is your aim - thank you)
In May/June 2012 we did a 2 weeks trip to Northern Italy which included visiting places like Milano (just overnight), Brescia, Iseo, Monte Isola, Edolo, Capo di Ponte, Pisogne, Sulzano, Sale Marasino, Bergamo, Trieste, Opicina, Muggia, Gorizia, Treviso plus Nova Gorica and Sezana in Slovenia.
In August/September 2012 we travelled to Croatia and surroundings for 2 weeks visiting Trogier, Solaris resort, Sibenik, Krka N.P., Slunj, Bihac (BIH), Zagreb and Ljubljana (SLO).
In October we visited Amsterdam for a weekend.
In late December we took a short trip to Domodossola and Val Vigezzo in Italy and Locarno/Bellinzona in Switzerland.
I plan to make a lot of small pages on villages as I like to make small pages on places where there aren't any VT pages or not much info to be found on VT.

Just in case that you go to Santiago , this link will help you to understand the Pórtico de la Gloria in the Cathedral : porticodelagloria.com/el-pro...
Buen viaje !!!
Thanks Juan, but we are in San Vicente now, going to San Sebastian tomorrow. Our last stop unfortunately.
You should go to Tazones (near Gijon in Villaviciosa). It's absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for your answer to 'Stalin Line museum - has anyone been here? Seems to be a nightmare to reach!?'. You've been a huge help.
Love your intro photo!
haha, he's a cutie!
GREAT intro photo!!
Thank-You for my post-card from Madeira Sonja - It brought a bit of sunshine to this extended winter (still snowing on and off here) I hope that You and Your Mum had a good time.
Holger is here now but the weather is not nice. Maybe we'll do a day trip. Have fun in Saltaire!
Happy Easter to Holger too ;-)
Have A Good Time wherever you go!
