My Big Adventure
-
Too right! I wish someone would "adopt" me and take me to all these wonderful places (but I suppose nobody - even the most frequent traveller - has that much baggage allowance!)
Have fun, Ted - the weather and eateries of Helsinki look fantastic and thanks @FOXY and Mrs Foxy for taking such good care of our furry friend.
-
Finally, I get to rework & update the travel log!
As mentioned before, we flew from Moscow to Berlin for a little road trip. Mrs Foxy took her little yellow car in the morning and only a few hours later we had reached the Bavarian Alps…
We were heading for Schwangau…
…because this is were Neuschwanstein is and were every Japanese tourist needs to go!
You can see it in the background if you look closely…
In Schwangau there is also the old castle.
And a lake…
I got a Neuschwanstein pin! (I guess this is hard currency at home in Japan…)

Looks like you are having a wonderful time and being well looked after [emoji4]
-
Portovenere is supposedly quite nice if it wasn't for the weather - but that's what you get in February…
There was a little church on a cliff at the end of the town…
From Portovenere we drove along the Ligurian coastline…La Spezia with battleships in the habour.
And further up the coastal road…
-
What a road trip! Lucky,lucky Ted

The next morning, the view from the window…
Camogli and its seafront is indeed a lovely little costal village being not far away from Genoa, our next stop.
One of the reasons to head for Genoa on this particular day was to meet with Mr Volvo, who took of part of his afternoon off.
Here he can be seen right in front of the church (on the left) next to Mrs Foxy.
Mr Volvo send me a picture in the morning of a cedro lemon from his father's garden…
This very lemon ended up being a present from Mr Volvo.
Genoa ended up being very nice experience, if not thanks to Mr Volvo for showing us the many corners of the old city.
The next day we drove the car through Switzerland to Colmar, France…

The next morning we hit the road hard and didn't stop until we were safe in the Alsace region of France, near the lovely town of Colmar.
Actually, we stopped at Bernard Antony's little cheese shop…
This little shop (and the cheese cellars underneath) is rather famous in the world of French cheeses and Michelin Star restaurants.
(Needless to mention that we bought a few cheeses to take back home to Moscow.)
Dinner was had in Colmar.
It turned out to be quite an interesting contrast after days of Ligurian cuisine.
-
Beautiful pics, that cheese [emoji8] and Colmar is indeed very picturesque… Looks like a gastronomic adventure @Ted have you become a gastronome?
… lovely place!
