Your feedback on my Iceland itinerary this summer
Hello Community!
I’ll be in Iceland from June 26 to July 14 (19 days). The trip is split into two parts: Day 1 to Day 13 as a 4x4 road trip / Day 14 to Day 19 as the Laugavegur Trek. We’ll be in a 4x4 like a Jimny with a roof tent, and for the trek, we’ll be self-sufficient (tent, sleeping mat, etc.).
I’ve tried to put together a summary below. Even though I’ve already used the forum a lot to build this itinerary, I’d love to hear your thoughts: any improvements? additions? priorities? recommended campgrounds?
Thanks in advance for sharing! :)
Looking forward to reading your replies!

Draft itinerary for Greece
Hi everyone,
I’m planning my first trip to Greece from October 29th to November 23rd and I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on the itinerary I’m considering. For a first visit, I’ll definitely cover the traditional tourist route, but I’m also open to off-the-beaten-path ideas. I’m curious and interested in history, archaeological sites, and the islands—more for culture than beaches, anyway, especially in November!
Here’s the plan: 3–4 days in Athens, 2 days in Nafplio: visiting Epidaurus and Mycenae, Stop in Olympia on the way to Delphi via Patras by bus? To avoid backtracking to Athens; 2 days in Delphi, including the site and Mount Parnassus, Explore the Ionian coast and a few islands? A few days in Corfu, 3 days in Meteora, 2–3 days in Thessaloniki, Direct flight from Thessaloniki to Heraklion, Crete, 3–4 days in Crete, November 22nd–23rd: overnight ferry back to Athens to catch my return flight to Montreal.
You’ve probably guessed I’m traveling solo. It might seem a bit scattered right now—I’ve started reading up on Greece, and there are must-see spots. What feels unclear are the 4–5 days between Delphi and Corfu. Also, mid-November in the islands might not be ideal if the weather’s bad.
Is Corfu worth it? Maybe there are other options—like a few days in Albania? Just throwing the idea out there.
Thanks for your input! I’d love to hear about your experiences to help enrich my upcoming trip.

Romania Weather in May
Hi everyone,
I’m supposed to be heading to Romania (Bucharest & Transylvania) next week for 10 days, and I’m really worried about the weather. Every day, the forecast seems to show rain (Sibiu, Brașov, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca). But it’s never clear like "rain all day"—it looks like a mix of sunny spells, rain, and clouds. So I was wondering, for those who know Romania well, what’s the weather generally like in Transylvania in spring? Is it common to have mountain thunderstorms in the late afternoon, or is it more persistent rain that lasts almost all day?
Thanks in advance! 🙂
Cycling in Liguria from Nice
Who among you has explored northern Italy along the Mediterranean, in Liguria?
I’m dreaming of cycling there from Nice, crossing through villages like Menton, Ventimiglia, Dolceacqua, Apricale, Monte Ceppo, Triora, Ponte di Nava, Ormea, Garessio, Ceva, Mondovì, and Cuneo.
Beyond that, it’s the route toward Queyras in France via the Col dell’Agnello, on the slopes of Monte Viso.
A few questions for those who know the area: Is it interesting by bike? Is the road surface decent? Is car traffic low, or at least manageable?
We had this plan back in 2009 as part of a Nice-Rome crossing, but we ended up doing it differently. I might get to revisit it this summer (solo this time, not on a tandem like we usually do).
Looking forward to your thoughts and comments!

Three-week trip to Japan: feedback on our itinerary
Hi everyone,
After years of silence and wonderful memories from our exchanges during two trips to South Africa, I’m back on the forum with plans for a trip to Japan.
We’re considering traveling from June 16 to July 9. I know this isn’t the best time weather-wise, but it’s our only option, especially since we want to include climbing Mount Fuji.
Here’s our itinerary—I’d love your thoughts: - Day 1: Arrival at Haneda in the evening (Night in Tokyo) - Day 2: Tokyo (Night in Tokyo) - Day 3: Nikko (Night in Tokyo) - Day 4: Travel to Hiroshima, then visit (Night in Hiroshima) - Day 5: Day in Miyajima (Night in Hiroshima) - Day 6: Day in Kagura Monzen Tojimura (Night in Hiroshima) - Day 7: Travel to Himeji, then visit (Night in Himeji) - Day 8: Himeji (Night in Himeji) - Day 9: Travel to Koyasan (Night in Koyasan) - Day 10: Koyasan (Night in Koyasan) - Day 11: Travel to Nara (Night in Nara) - Day 12: Travel to Kyoto (Night in Kyoto) - Day 13: Kyoto (Night in Kyoto) - Day 14: Travel to Fukui (Night in Fukui) - Day 15: Travel to Kanazawa (Night in Kanazawa) - Day 16: Travel to Hakone (Night in Hakone) - Day 17: Hakone (Night in Hakone) - Day 18: Travel to Kamakura (Night in Kamakura) - Day 19: Travel to Tokyo (Night in Tokyo) - Day 20: Travel to Fujiyoshida (Night in Fujiyoshida) - Day 21: Ascent via Yoshida Trail - Day 22: Descent via Yoshida Trail (Night in Fujiyoshida) - Day 23: Travel to Tokyo (Night in Tokyo) - Day 24: Departure from Narita
Let me know if any stops seem unnecessary or if you’d add something.
I’m planning to rent a car from Himeji (Day 9) until Hakone (Day 16) to make travel easier.
Have a great day!
Thomas

Where to stay to explore Ardèche?
Hello,
I’m planning to spend a few days in Ardèche and I’d like to know if we should choose just one base or more to visit the region. Looking at the department map and the main sites to see, I’d personally go for 2 bases to avoid too much driving. So, if anyone who knows this beautiful region well could give me some advice on this, I’d really appreciate it in advance!

Climbing Haut-Folin via the southern route, in stages
Hello everyone,
I’m so happy to share my climb with you, and if it inspires you to take it on, then it’ll be a success. Sometimes I’ll use the local language because I think it’s essential to connect with the people we meet along the way.
This adventure took place last year, just before winter, right after summer, and smack in the middle of autumn. That really sets the time of year. After climbing Mont-Beuvray—a story I shared here ages ago—I decided to tackle a much more adventurous peak: the summit of Haut-Folin, which rises to 901 m, and that’s no small feat, let’s be honest. It’s located in the Bois du Roi massif. Up there, you often brush against the clouds, which seem to take a mischievous pleasure in wrapping around you.
I’m going fully self-sufficient—no porters, no guide, no cook. I’m just treating myself to a very short approach flight. The flight is early in the morning on a small plane, the *Spirit of St Bernadette*, and it’s perfect. I’ll enjoy watching it deliver mail in the mountains. The pilot will drop me off at the hamlet of *La Pierre en Eau*, near Anost, a small village at the foot of this forest-covered giant.
Physical condition I’m now really seasoned for such an expedition because I’ve trained every day by walking to the village grocery store—round trip, in all weather, that’s 2.1 km. The 451 m elevation gain won’t be a problem for me. .../...

Questions about excursions around Marrakech
Hi there,
A group of 11 of us will be spending a week in Marrakech in May. I’d love your thoughts and advice on these excursions I’ve shortlisted—or any others I might not have considered:
- Visiting Marrakech: with or without a guide? Is one day enough for the main sights? - Essaouira: Is a day trip a good option? Is the journey scenic? - Ouzoud Waterfalls: Is the place worth the trip? - Agafay Desert: Any recommendations to avoid the tourist crowds? - Imlil Valley and Mount Toubkal: A worthwhile detour?
Of course, I don’t plan to do everything in one week, but your input will help me decide... Thanks in advance! !

What should we prioritize during a layover in Montreal?
Hi there,
I’ve got a layover in Montreal with my daughter for over 10 hours—we land at 12:30.
I’d love to get out and explore for a few hours. Any tips on how to get around to the must-see spots, and what to visit even if it’s just a short time? We’ve got a few hours to spare.
Also, if any locals are up for showing us around (happy to pay for your time, of course), that’d be amazing.
Thanks so much!

Excursions and activities around Dahab (Egypt)
Hi everyone,
Heading to Egypt this coming February, I’m planning to visit Dahab for some diving in the Red Sea. While looking into other things to do and see in the area, I’m wondering whether it’s better to book ready-made excursions or if it’s possible—and preferable—to hire a taxi for the day (Mount Sinai and St. Catherine’s Monastery, Nuweiba, and Colored Canyon).
If you’ve tried either option, I’d love to hear your feedback. And if you have any other activities to recommend in the area, I’d be happy to read about them!
Thanks in advance,

Traveling in Myanmar in 2024
Important: I’ve been living in Myanmar for several years now, and I speak and write Burmese correctly (though I still have a strong French accent).
I really don’t want this post to make you think that traveling in Myanmar right now is easy.
It’s crucial to understand that the country is unstable—this isn’t the place for a relaxing vacation.
The security situation and areas open to tourists are constantly changing.
I started my trip in Bagan. Flights were fully booked, so I took a VIP overnight bus from Yangon. Along the way, we encountered 4 checkpoints run by the military. The bus conductor announces that it’s forbidden to use your phone during these stops. Each time, the conductor hands over the passenger list to the checkpoint, and sometimes one or two passengers are asked to step out for questioning before we’re allowed to continue. I didn’t have to interact directly with the soldiers.
In Bagan, there are quite a few local visitors but very, very few foreign tourists... I remember my trip in December 2019 when I’d hear French spoken regularly...
I’m staying at the Bagan Thande Hotel for 130,000 kyats, or about thirty dollars at the current exchange rate.

News from New Caledonia
Hello, with the sad news from the Caillou and the Loyalty Islands following the events from a few months ago, who still wants to travel to Grande Terre? Best regards,
What to see in Montenegro?
Hi everyone on Voyage Forum! In mid-September 2025, a group of friends and I are heading to Montenegro for a week. On my must-see list, I’ve obviously got the Bay of Kotor and Lake Skadar. Besides those two excursions, what else would you recommend seeing or visiting? Just to note, we’ll be staying in the Bijela area.
Another question: Is Tivat Airport operating during that period? I think Transavia flies there. Otherwise, we’d have to go through Dubrovnik, which I’d prefer to avoid—partly because I’ve been there before and partly to skip the border wait.
Looking forward to your replies or suggestions!

10-day trip to Madagascar and Nosy Be

Thanks in advance for your tips!

Itinerary in Kyushu (Japan) from north to west
Departure imminent on 10/27. The trip will be a full 18 days.
I still have a few questions about transportation for certain legs:
Day 1: Arrival in Fukuoka in the evening at 7:30 PM
Day 2: Fukuoka city
Day 3: Ukiha (car or train?)
Day 4: Itoshima
Day 5: 11/01/2024: Okawa, Omuta (forge), and Yanagawa for the Yanagawa Hakushu Matsuri. A bit ambitious for a single day?
Day 6: Arita / Owakachiyama / rice fields in the evening: Is it better to go from Fukuoka to Arita by car or train?
Day 7: Sasebo + Kujukushima Pearl + fireworks show Day 8: Karatsu (Yobuko market + cave + cape) + Matsuri Kanchi Day 9: Kashima + garden + Tara Day 10: Higashi Sonogi, overnight in Nagasaki. Is it better to return the car in Arita or Nagasaki? Day 11: Nagasaki Day 12: Nagasaki, overnight in Fukuoka, so departure by train from Nagasaki Day 13: Munakata and Oshima, and in the evening, Hanabi Kama
Day 14: Mount Hiko, Toho, Soeda. Is there a pottery village? With or without hands-on experience?
Day 15: Yame (Hoshino tea visit) and Kurume Masure workshop
Days 16, 17, 18, 19: Fukuoka city and maybe Nokonoshima or Kitakyushu
Any suggestions? Does this seem balanced?
Thanks and have a great day

First trips after...
A turbulent period came to an end around 2022.
Many of us have returned to big trips after making only very small ones—or none at all. For a little anecdote, my dentist told me that due to the lack of travel, a lot of clients treated themselves to implants they would’ve otherwise skipped. The joy of traveling again probably gave some vacationers smiles they hadn’t dared to show before!
Here, you can share what’s on your mind: Have these new, real trips disappointed you, rejuvenated you, or just relieved a long frustration?
For my part, not being so young anymore, there was definitely relief but no explosion of joy. I just had the feeling of picking up the thread of life after a foggy pause, with the bitter taste that 2 or 3 years of my life had been partly stolen from me.

il serait suicidaire de braver ces orages
et le tour de france a échappé de peu à la cata Ce matin à 8h00 au sommet du Mont-Aigoual Brouillard, pluie et orage La visibilité est estimée à 30 mètres Le vent de Sud souffle en pointes à 66 km/h La température est de 12° Cette nuit, les rafales ont atteint 121 km/h. La pluie a déja amené 34 mm d'eau faut il laisser passer l'orage ? ou renvoyer le projet à une autre année ?

Disparition de France Ô English translation pending
J'ai réalisé aujourd'hui que la chaine France O allait s'arrêter.
J'en suis extrêmement triste et en colère contre les gens qui ont pris cette décision.
C'était la seule chaîne de France Télévision que j'aimais regarder, la seule qui montrait une culture riche dans ce pays de nos jours (la musique, la littérature).
Il parait qu'on ne va rien perdre et qu'elle va enrichir les autres chaines du service public.
Je pense au contraire que ses sujets seront dilués à dose homéopatique et qu'il ne sera plus possible de s'en imprégner.

Boucle Denver-Denver pour l'été 2021 English translation pending
Bonjour à tous
Après avoir du renoncer à notre projet 2020 dans l’ouest américain suite à l’annulation des vols de fin juin et avec l’actualité actuelle non propice aux voyages ( bon, nous avons quand même pu partir 10 jours dans les Cyclades en plan B) j’envisage, si la situation s’améliore, un nouveau projet pour l’été 2021 avec un départ mi juillet ( au lieu de notre préféré fin juin..).. on va essayer d'y croire!!
Cela donnerait ceci : une boucle Denver pour limiter les frais de location de voiture en faisant un oneway.
Itinéraire prévu, sans les détails.. toute la 1ere partie jusqu'à yellowstone devait se faire en 2020..😕
Samedi Jour 1 : Arrivée Denver. Nuit à Fort Collins Dimanche Jour 2 : Cheyenne–Custer - Nuit à Custer Lundi Jour 3 : Mont Rushmore- Badlands National Park – Nuit à Rapid City Mardi Jour 4 : Rapid City – Deadwood – Devils Tower - Buffalo (3h) – nuit à Buffalo ou Sheridan Mercredi Jour 5 : Buffalo à Cody par Bighorn canyon - Nuit à Cody ( 3h30) Jeudi Jour 6 : route vers Gardiner via Chief Joseph scenic highway et rock creek vista. Nuit à Gardiner Vendredi Jour 7 : Yellowstone – Nuit à Yellowstone Samedi Jour 8:Yellowstone – Nuit à Yellowstone Dimanche Jour 9 : Yellowstone – Nuit à Yellowstone Lundi Jour 10: Yellowstone – Nuit à Yellowstone mardi Jour 11 : Grand Teton – Nuit à Grand Teton ou Jackson Hole (1h30) Mercredi Jour 12 : randonnée le matin vers Grand Teton puis route vers Salt Lake City (5h) Jeudi Jour 13 : route vers Moab (4h) - fin de journée à Dead Horse State Park- Nuit à Moab Vendredi Jour 14 :Moab - Arches NP– Nuit à Moab Samedi Jour 15 : Moab – Canyonlands NP- Nuit à Moab Dimanche Jour 16: matin Moab ( fin de visite- ou activité) – puis route vers Colorado National Monument. (2h15) via la 128– Nuit à Grand Junction Lundi Jour 17 : :Glenwood Springs – Idaho Springs (3h30) (après midi Shopping) - Nuit à Denver Mardi jour 18 : journée Denver. Vol en fin de journée Mercredi jour 19 retour Maison
Pour info, nous connaissons déjà le principal de la partie Moab pour l’avoir fait en avril 2016. Je peux éventuellement ajouter 1 ou 2 jours.
Qu’en pensez vous ? Pur l’instant, j’ai l’impression que les tarifs hôteliers sont pus chers ??
Merci pour vos avis Prenez soin de vous Marie

Où randonner en Grèce continentale en famille? English translation pending

Randonnée itinérante en Haute-Ariège et Espagne English translation pending
Bonsoir à tous,
je souhaite organiser une randonnée itinérante de 2 semaines avec mes deux garçons dans la Haute Ariège (environ 8 kms/jour, avec 500 m de dénivelé positif journalier environ). Je recherche des endroits sauvages, aux paysages variés. Mes enfants apprécieront : lacs, cascades, et cours d'eau, forêts, mais aussi pics acérés (ils aimeraient bien voir ce que c'est que de se piquer les fesses au sommet d'une montagne). Enfin, ils seraient amusés de passer la frontière, et évidemment de voir un ours 😉. Les infos que j'ai pu obtenir à ce jour : Vicdessos et Auzat sont les points de départ apparemment, de belles balades dans des vallées sauvages. La zone du Mont Valier semble sympa. Il y a aussi le cirque de Cagateille. Et j'entends parler aussi du Couserans. Apparemment le Val d'Aran en Espagne est magnifique selon un opérateur de randonnée, et j'ai trouvé un circuit le Pass'Aran de 5 jours (donc peut-être 8 jours avec les enfants !) (traverser la frontière offre-t-il des paysages et une ambiance différente ?) En gros, tout est joli dans cette zone ! Je pense qu'il faut que je choisisse : soit partie Ouest : (Couserans + Val d'Aran), soit partie centrale (Mt Valier), soit partie est. j'ai dit ça, j'ai rien dit ! Quels sont vos conseils ? Je vous remercie !

Balkans ou Grèce en été ou septembre 2020 (covoiturage) English translation pending
Je cherche des idées et suggestions pour une escapade du 12 juillet au 25 août 2020, sinon peut-être en septembre ! Dans l'idéal, je prévoyais un voyage en Inde à l'automne, mais les restrictions d'entrée à cause du Covid-19 s'appliquent peut-être encore pour longtemps.
Je suis éventuellement partant pour un covoiturage et preneur de toute info au sujet déplacement. Je voyage en sac à dos, évite foules et tourisme de masse et privilégie les spots naturels et authentiques hors des sentiers battus.
Au plaisir de vous lire !
