The capital of Mauritania is a very poor place. Most people don’t even have homes and many of the inhabitants of the country are nomads. We took many photos in the surrounding area and it is easy to see that this is near the top of the list for poorest countries in the world. Speaking […]

INSERT_MAP In the far far north of the northern part of the north European country of Norway, there lies a cliff encircled point called North Cape. This is the farthest you can drive north in Europe and a truly majestic site. With giant cliffs, tunnels, ice covered roads and little to no light, the drive […]

There is a small town in Norway not far from the Swedish border called Narvik. The town is full of history, setting the stage for numerous WWII battles and attracts many tourists each year because of this.

Of the many options with the expensive prices of gas in Europe, we opted for the route towards North Cape starting on a ferry from Germany to Denmark, followed by a series of bridges to get to Sweden. The dash up to the Ice Hotel led us across the Arctic Circle and introduced all of […]

Some people in Bavaria consider themselves Bavarians, not Germans. Many of the Germans we met outside of Bavaria, could not stand the place. TWBR on the other hand could not get enough. Bavaria is a place that for all practical purposes is a separate country from Germany. The beer halls and beer gardens are full […]

It has taken forever to get more photos up and we all apologize. We have also been far behind on the blogs…and we apologize. We are also behind schedule…and we apologize. We are also extremely low on funds, and until we are able to raise enough money for South America, we will fall further behind, […]

On our way to Sofia, we stopped for a few days in Polvdiv… a lively town full of history and culture. We had the chance to check out some Roman ruins and get a little bit of work done before pushing on to the country’s capital.
