Perfect rural town to explore Countryside of India (Godavari delta region ).

No problem with hi res just lets us see these wonderful pictures in all their splendour, thanks.Given the positive response for that post, I'll start uploading some more of my travel photos. Here's the Volksgarten in Cologne.

This is Newborough Beach, which is within walking distance of my flat. It's a phone photo, so the quality is not exactly tip-top.

The view from about halfway up the Schlossberg in Freiburg im Breisgau, a rather lovely city in the middle of the Schwarzwald. It's the warmest and sunniest place in all Germany, and one of my three favourite places in the world. It's phenomenal. Go there, I implore you.

Actually, have a double-post; yesterday I had to go out and get some baked beans to go with my baked potato. I got a bit distracted and ended up going for a walk to this rather lovely spot on the way home. Although it doesn't look like it, that strip of water is actually the sea.

This is Olten in Switzerland. I had no plans of going here, but ended up here because I was trying to get from Freiburg (Germany) to Annecy (France) and I was determined to go through Switzerland to see the scenery, even though it meant that I had to get several trains that day. My eventual route was Freiburg - Basel - Olten - Geneva - Annecy. I delayed for several hours in Olten just to have a little poke around.

I know it's a bit different because you have to come from another continent, but I did six weeks of travel through over a dozen cities for just under £2,000 total, including food and accommodation. It can most definitely be done with a bit of careful planning.
I promise, Luton is still far nicer than Brussels. Although Luton is an absolute... experience as you say.

I didn't especially enjoy Paris, but attending the Champs-Elysees stage of the Tour de France was a bucket list item.

That's an exciting experience. I'd love to visit one day. One day.

I'm breaking a personal rule. I'm uploading lots of photos of Annecy. You know how I said Freiburg was in my top three favourite places? Annecy is in my top one.
