latest blogs from the road
If you have found your way here, this is the main blog page. A wonderful list of my inane ramblings and photography from our holidays around the world and road trips across America and Europe.
There may be even one or two useful posts hidden within, but I’m making no promises.
Saturday markets in Aix, a relaxed drive through Provence, a return visit to Port Grimaud and then our first proper arrival on the French Riviera at Saint-Raphaël.
A long motorway drive from Langres to Aix-en-Provence, passing through Lyon, rolling past vineyards and mountains, and arriving in Provence sunshine ready to explore.
We took the morning ferry from Falmouth to Martha’s Vineyard and spent the day exploring by convertible Mini. Jaws locations, gingerbread houses, lighthouses, beaches and some questionable coffee — a fun but surprising island experience.
Leaving Boston behind, we hugged the Massachusetts coastline through Hull and Plymouth before reaching Falmouth. Historic sights, English tea rooms, totem poles and tacos — a perfect New England day.
A sun-soaked day in Boston filled with history, humour and a touch of baseball. From bagels at Quincy Market to Fenway Park and pizza in the North End — Boston delivered another brilliant day on foot.
A day of history, walking and great food as we explored Boston’s Freedom Trail — from Paul Revere’s house to the USS Constitution, followed by authentic Italian dining in the city’s North End.
A day of contrasts — from peaceful forest drives through Vermont to the commercial chaos of Salem, before finally arriving in Boston. Great coffee, odd witches and a taste of the original Boston Cream Pie.
A gallery of roadside views between Toronto and Saratoga Springs — snapshots taken on the move by Deb, capturing the changing landscapes from Canada’s city skylines to America’s forested backroads.
Our final drive in Canada took us across bridges and islands before crossing into upstate New York. From wooden moose souvenirs to Amish buggies and forest roads, we ended the day in the laid-back charm of Saratoga Springs.
Leaving Toronto behind, we followed Lake Ontario’s backroads through Oshawa, Cobourg and Belleville, stopping to explore historic Parkwood Estate and Kingston Mills Lockstation before ending the day in Gananoque with great food, beer and plenty of character.
After a lazy start in Toronto, we explored St Lawrence Market, the Distillery District and the CN Tower before ending the day at a Mexico Day festival with live music and tacos. A relaxed, sunny and vibrant day in Canada’s biggest city.
