by Ptitjo · 2007-02-01 · 1 reply
Bonjour bonjour, bon en tant que ptit nouveau, je me présente comme de coutume !! Voila je m'apelle Jonathan j'ai 23 ans et je viens de faire l'aquisition d'un J9 de 88 avec a peu près 140000 bornes. L'est po jeune le peper, mais j'espère bien qu'y va tenir la route...

Et donc voila, dans le but de l'amenager je viens me connecter sur ce site afin de rencontrer pleins de gens qui pourait ptètre me conseiller et m'aiguiller dans mes travaux. De toute façon, c'est pas dur, je part du tout début... Y a tout a faire !! héhé

Et puis j'ai telement de question à poser, que je vais commencer par le début disons : l'isolation... Laine de roche ? de verre ? ou alors ces tricomposant dont je vois apparaitre les nom dans les site de caravaning... Cela vaut 'il le coup au pris ou ça coute ? (parce que ça a pas l'air d'ètre donné...) Et a priori, le camion y serai plutot conçu pour aller dans des pays chaud lol...

Et sur cela, y faudrais que je mette du contreplaqué de 5mm c'est ça hein ??

Quelqu'un connaitrais t'il un site ou acheter de quoi le remplir ce camion ou meme des idées malines : sachant que j voudrais y mettre des placards de rangement, un evier, un frigo, un grand lit, de quoi se faire la popotte... enfin un truc classic quoi...

En ce qui concerne les deux baterries et le ptit appareil qui permet de passer de l'une a l'autre pour toujours pouvoir démarrer tranquille, cela fournis t'il suffisament de courrant ? Comment cela ce monte t'il ?? (parce que moi la mécanique...)

Enfin voila, quelques petit exemple de bon demi million de question que je me pose...

Bon ben merci d'avance pour vos réponse !!! A bientot !

90 jours aux Etats-Unis, sortir du pays et y retourner English translation pending
by Jere · 2006-10-01 · 14 replies
Bonjour,

Actuellement nous sommes en train de remonter l'amérique à vélo et lorsque nous serons aux etats-unis nous voudrions faire un circuit qui demandera aux environs de 150 jours.

Quelqu'un peut-il nous renseigner s'il est possible de passer par exemple 88 jours aux etats-unis, sortir 2 ou 3 jours au mexique et re-rentrer aux etats-unis pour avoir une nouvelle autorisation de passer 90 jours ?

Tout ceci bien sûr pour éviter des demandes compliquées de visa pour dépasser l'autorisation "de base" de 90 jours.

Merci d'avance.

by Rains091 · 2006-04-28 · 47 replies
Voila, etant quelques peu informés par des bonnes sources, je vous donne les premices et esquisse du prochain programme hiver.. Si cela interesse certain, je peux egalement fournir les changements pour cet été: SCL deviendra non stop 5x/semaine en 772. Si les resultats sont comme cette année, celui-ci ne sera plus saisonnier(environ 88% pour cette saison hiver et 94% pour EZE). JNB, Le 744 deviendra un 773ER, les 3X/semaine en 343 resteront. A moyen terme, le vol en 343 devra normalement etre journalier. BLR devient quotidien(5X/semaine actuellement), des tres bons taux de remplissage dans toutes les classes, si ils se poursuivent, c'est fort possible qu'ils deviennent un 772. DEL, sera upgradé du 772 de la saison été a un 744 comme tous les hivers. DXB passera de 14X/semaine a 2/jr(332 et 772). GRU, 10X/semaine passera a 12X/semaine, (7X en 773 et 5x en 332). PEK, passera de 2/jr a 10/semaine, tous en 773. BKK sera upgradé d'un 343 a un 744, comme la plupart du temps pour la saison hiver. YUL : retour du B744 qui opérera le deuxième vol quotidien (AF346)en complèment du B772 (AF344). JFK : retour du A332 sur cette escale qui opérera le premier vol quotidien depuis CDG (AF022) IAH : le deuxième vol quotidien (AF034) introduit cet été est maintenue mais au rythme de 5 fois par semaine au lieu de 7 en A332. PVG : 10 vols également pour la capitale économique chinoise opérés par le B772. ICN :6X/semaine (reduction d'une frequence avec reduction) en 772(contrairement au 773 cet été). HKG, 10X/semaine, tous en 772. GIG, si accord il y'a passera a 10x/semaine cet hiver et en 744.(si accord, une nouvelle destination est egalement a prevoir).

Edit:Je precise pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas les initials aeroportuaires: SCL:Santiago du Chili EZE: Buenos Aires JNB: Johannesbourg BLR: Bangalore DEL: Delhi DXB: Dubai GRU: Sao Paulo BKK: Bangkok YUL: Montreal: JFK: New York IAH: Houston PVG: Shangai HKG: Hong Kong ICN: Seoul GIG: Rio
Vouchers russes et assurance... English translation pending
by NinjaWax · 2006-04-02 · 8 replies
Je compte rester en Russie 11 jours et visiter :

St Petersbourg - 4 jours Novgorod - 2 jours Moscou - 4 jours Souzdal - 1 jours

Je compte acheter sur action-visa un visa Tourisme <= 1 mois - Simple entrée à 88€ Bon déjà là ça fait plutôt mal vu que je suis étudiant.

Quand on me parle du Voucher - séjour 15 jrs maximum - 1 entrée à 45€, je hurle.

Je compte loger uniquement en auberge de jeunesse et je me demande si ce genre d'hotel fait l'enregistrement auprès de l'OVIR. Combien cela coûte t'il à chaque fois ?

Dans mon cas je n'aurais que deux enregistrement à faire : St Petersbourg et Moscou ? Vu que ce sont les seules villes où je reste plus de 3 jours... Ou est-ce qu'il faut que j'ai un enregistrement pour chaque nuit passée en Russie ?

Il faut que j'ai ce voucher une fois sur place ou que j'en fournisse un lors de ma demande de visa à action-visa ?

Une autre question à propos de l'assurance pour le visa russe. Je suis à la mutuelle étudiante SMEBA qui n'est pas dans la liste des assurances reconnue par l'ambassade de Russie apparemment. Mais comme j'ai une carte Mastercard il parait que cela peut fonctionner. Dans ce cas comment faire, je dois demander un document à ma banque ?

Je suis étudiant à Nantes et j'habite donc dans cette ville mais l'adresse sur mon passeport et celle de mes parents. A la question 17, quel est votre domicile habituel j'ai donné sans réfléchir mon adresse à Nantes. Il ne vaudrait mieux pas donner l'adresse écrite sur mon passeport ?

Il me semble que je n'ai pas besoin de remplir une feuille mentionnant l'itinéraire complet (par jour: villes, hôtels, lieux visités) pour les séjours en Russie inférieurs à 15 jours. Vrai ? Je peux donc me contenter d'écrire sur ma demande de visa, pour itinéraire : St Petersbourg, Novgorod, Moscou, Souzdal ?

C'est vraiment emmerdant tout ça. Peut être que mes questions on déjà été posées mais il y a tellement de sujets sur le visa russe sur le forum que ça devient ici aussi une vraie jungle. J'en ai lu plusieurs pas mal mais j'ai encore une vision pas très clair de tout ce schmilblick....

Help !!!🤪😕🙁

Trip report: Albania, April 2026
by Guy1 · 2026-05-05 · 4 replies
A little trip report from an 11-day journey to Albania at the end of April 2026, with two friends in their early sixties and beyond... Our route: Berat, Gjirokastër, Himarë, Tirana Here are some opinions, tips, and great deals to share: Flight Round-trip Beauvais-Tirana: Ryanair, 260 € with checked baggage (20 kg) and seat selection. Flight was fine and on time. 2h 30min flight. Exchange: 1 € was worth 95 lek in April 2026. We were advised to exchange in the airport hall at the Illiria counter (98 lek outside the security zone), saying we wouldn’t find a better rate. However, the exchange rate was 93 lek for 1 euro, while in the city it was 95... Car rental at Tirana airport for 9 days via Booking.com: 144 € (56 € for the car rental and 88 € for optional full insurance deductible waiver). Wheego agency: the car was fine, but be careful when signing the contract—they tried to convince us that the insurance taken through Booking didn’t cover everything and insisted we take their own insurance for 250 €... We refused. After reading about driving in Tirana, instead of starting our trip by visiting the capital, we decided to head straight to Berat upon arrival and return the car at the end of the trip to explore the city on foot. This turned out to be a great choice! Accommodations: All our stays were booked via Booking.com. Everyone prefers to be paid in euros and in cash—they mention this when booking. Berat: 2-hour drive from the airport. Accommodation: Vila Arben Elezi: 135 € for 3 nights with breakfast and private parking. The room was decent and clean but a bit dark, located slightly below ground level near the parking. However, the breakfast on the rooftop was excellent, especially with the stunning view of the "city of a thousand windows." Great location. Berat was our favorite—there are lovely walks through the different neighborhoods on both sides of the river, each with a very different vibe. The citadel visit is also fascinating, as it’s like a small town within the fortress. The walk along the river is pleasant, with plenty of restaurant choices. Other restaurants in the old town are also very nice. The White House Restaurant, on the first floor along the road, is good and offers a great view of the Gorica district. Gjirokastër: Accommodation: Te Ajdini Guest House: 120 € for 3 nights with breakfast. A private home stay. There’s free parking just before entering the city, a 5-minute walk from the accommodation, which is very convenient since the cobblestone streets are narrow and parking is tricky. Yes, it’s a climb to get to the place, but everything in this city is uphill... The room was bright and clean. Breakfast was very good, hearty, and served in the courtyard with a view of the castle. The guesthouse is a 5-minute walk from the city center (the bazaar) but in a quiet area. Restaurants: Rrapi and Kujtimi—good and affordable with their little pergolas. The old town of Gjirokastër is charming but very touristy, with streets packed with souvenir shops and restaurant tables and chairs. Lots of people. -The bunker visit (near the tourist office) is very interesting: Cold War Tunnel. The castle offers a beautiful view of the city. -Visit to the Ottoman house Skenduli: very well done. Don’t forget to climb the ladder facing a trapdoor in the ceiling to see the roof’s framework—it’s like a forest of beams: impressive! -The bridge Ura e Ali Pasha: A steep 45-minute climb from the city to the site is worth it, but once you reach the viewpoint (which is stunning), you have to go back down a path to reach the bridge. You can drive to the viewpoint, but parking is very tricky. Around Gjirokastër: -Just outside the city: Lake Liqeni i Viroit: a nice, ordinary-looking lake, but at the end, there’s a natural spring making the water crystal clear and a brilliant blue—really spectacular, like photos of Blue Eye near Sarandë. -Drive to Përmet along the gorges: beautiful viewpoints along the way and lovely countryside. Himarë: Accommodation: Vila Kosteli: 120 € for 2 nights with breakfast—slightly overpriced for this type of place but very close to a small beach and not far from the promenade with all the restaurants. Private parking, but very tight (4 cars on a tiny lot along the road). The "sea view" room is a bit obstructed by the building across the street. However, the rooftop breakfast view is beautiful. Friendly staff. Himarë is a pleasant seaside resort, quite calm (but it was April...). There’s a cute promenade with restaurants along the beach. The castle on the heights of Himarë is worth a visit. Around Himarë: -Qeparo is worth a quick stop, but Qeparo village is really worth the detour: a village lost in the heights after a scenic drive up from the coastal road—narrow but well-maintained. Beautiful view from the top and a charming village. -The Big Bunker and Llogora Panorama: take a right turn several kilometers after Dhermi—a road that climbs steeply from the start... A breathtaking winding road that reaches 900 meters in altitude. The view is stunning. -Several small villages between Dhermi and Himarë are worth a quick stop. -Porto Palermo Castle is somewhat disappointing. Tirana: Taxi from Tirana airport to the city center: 15 € with electric taxis (Green Taxi, Bee Taxi, Do Taxi). Accommodation: Hotel Nevi Apartment: 63 € for 2 nights. A private apartment in an older building but very clean and well-equipped, with a kitchen and small enclosed balcony. Great welcome and contact—the owner even booked a taxi for our departure. Very well located, close to the main square, shops, and restaurants. A small supermarket nearby is perfect for stocking up on breakfast supplies. The city is lively and dynamic, with plenty of green spaces and promenades. Buildings are popping up everywhere, often with surprising architecture—like a building shaped like a face, a huge golden cube, and many others under construction. -Sky Tower: at the top, a rotating bar offers a 360° view of the city and its buildings. Drinks are a bit pricier than usual, but it’s totally worth it (6 € for a beer or a glass of white wine, 3 € for coffee). We were there for sunset, and it was amazing! A must-do. Arrive early, as it fills up quickly. -The House of Leaves: a house used for secret surveillance and interrogations during the dictatorship... A great way to learn about the surveillance systems of that era. -Bunk’Art 2: a bunker in the heart of the city—very interesting, covering the dictatorship period and its system... -The Pazari i Ri Bazaar: the new bazaar district. The large hall is worth a visit, but souvenir prices are often higher than elsewhere... The area is nice. Restaurant: Kastrati Restaurant—a bit like a canteen with lots of traditional dishes. It’s on the first floor of a building. Excellent value for money, and the waitress explains the dishes in French.

That’s a little overview of our trip and my personal impressions! Albania is a beautiful and pleasant country to visit. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Tioman or Bintan from Singapore?
by Nessie2 · 2025-03-10 · 1 reply
Hi there,

I’m spending a few days in Singapore, which I love. I was thinking about maybe heading to Tioman, but it’s a real hassle with the bus and ferry times—plus, you pretty much have to stay overnight in Mersing for safety. I also looked into Bintan, which seems pretty nice. You need a visa since it’s in Indonesia, and it’s a big, beautiful island. There’s even a Club Med, so it must be a decent spot. Tioman looks stunning in videos, but yeah… I’m still going back and forth on this one!
Practical tips after 3 months in Morocco
by Mrtaboo · 2025-02-26 · 22 replies
MOROCCO END 2024 / BEGINNING 2025 Off-season, I was lucky enough to negotiate hotel prices. I should also mention that this was for a solo traveler until December 30th. After that, there’ll be three of us! Practical info. Here’s all the info I gathered during my 3-month trip. Cities: TANGIER / CHEFCHAOUEN / FES / MOULAY IDRISS, VOLUBILIS / AZROU / MIDELT / ERRACHIDIA / RISSANI / MERZOUGA / TINGHIR / BOUMLANE DADES, AIT OUGLIF / OUARZAZATE / TALIOUINE / TAROUDANT / TIZNIT / TAFRAOUT / SIDI IFNI, LEGZIRA / AGADIR / ESSAOUIRA / MARRAKECH ///

From there, we’ll be three people. Cities: IMLIL / OUARZAZATE / AGDZ / ZAGORA / AIT BEN HADDOU / MARRAKECH / ESSAOUIRA / CASABLANCA. (Generally, I found that mattresses in Morocco were quite hard. My solution: I put two, even three folded blankets on the mattress to add some softness. Wi-Fi almost never works in the room.)

Tangier: Hôtel Fuentes Petit Socco, Old Medina +212 539 934 669 (For one person, end of October) Upon arrival, 19 € for a double room with a private bathroom. Breakfast included. Chefchaouen: Dar Besmellah Av Ibn Askar +212 539 986 489 (For one person, end of October). I don’t recommend it. A small, low-ceilinged room with a window facing a patio. Very dark and damp. Shared bathroom. 9 € Dar Bleu Pearl N° 4 Derb Benyaakoub +212 (0)539 88 28 86. Negotiated on-site to 130 MAD instead of 160 on Booking. Small room, furniture, Wi-Fi, private bathroom. Fes: Riad Alfredo or Riad Rocco—it’s the same place. It’s in a very narrow alley. N° 15 Derb Sidi Kjih or Qjih Talla Sagira +212 662 769 688 (see photos and virtual tour) Negotiated to 13 € on-site; on Booking, it was 16 €. Breakfast included. Atypical Anne room with private bathroom, Wi-Fi. The room is a bit dark. One of the best beds on my trip. Again, this was for a solo traveler off-season (end of October to end of December). Moulay Idriss: Gite El Menzeh (see the map) Negotiated on-site to 14 € with breakfast; on Booking, it was 24 €. I also negotiated for dinner—very good and hearty—for 5 € (the manager wanted 20 €). I stayed in the large upstairs room with a double bed, window, and private bathroom, not the tiny windowless rooms downstairs. Azrou: Hôtel des Cèdres Place Mohamed V. (see the map and photos) Negotiated 13 € instead of 16 € on Booking for a room with two small beds and a private bathroom. This hotel is honestly run-down and not worth the price at all. The owner thinks it’s a very classy hotel because of its old reputation! Midelt: Chez Ali, city center (see map) Negotiated to 14 € instead of 17 € on Booking. Room with two beds, bathroom, window, small terrace, and Wi-Fi. Er Rachidia: Hôtel El Fekri. Rue Moulay Abdalah Ben Ali (see map and photos) Couldn’t negotiate on-site—14 €, but on Booking, it was 5 € more! Rissani: Hôtel Restaurant Panorama +212 615 978 445 Well, I’d say skip it. Rooms without windows and shared bathrooms. Or on the terrace, there’s a sort of space with a big bed and a small bed behind a locked iron door with a window and an external bathroom that’s also used by people eating on the terrace. If there are people on the terrace, forget about privacy! Not to mention the internet doesn’t work, and the bed is as hard as a straw mat. All that for 150 MAD—luckily, I didn’t book through Booking, or it would’ve been more expensive!!! I didn’t stay. This closet isn’t even worth 100 MAD—and even that’s too much! A little further on, I went to a hotel where no one spoke English or anything else. I got a large room with 3 beds, a private bathroom, and Wi-Fi for 100 MAD. Merzouga: Said’s apartment +212 618 659 264. No real address—it’s right next to a souvenir shop, far from the center. (see photos) 15 €. The apartment is large with two bedrooms and all the comforts. But for me, it was too far from the village. Chez Belkecem: Marked on GPS. I don’t have any coordinates (see photos). +212 666 911 732 Negotiated on-site to 13 € with breakfast; on Booking, it was 2 € more. The room is decorated in a Berber style, with a private bathroom and a window to the outside. The worst breakfast I had in Morocco! Tinghir: Dar Al Medina Av Mohamed V (see map) Beautiful hotel negotiated to 13 € instead of 18 € on Booking. Breakfast included, Wi-Fi, room with a double bed and a single bed, window, and private bathroom. (Top floor) Boumlane Dades: Auberge Tamazirt (no contact) see GPS. Negotiated to 13 € with breakfast. It’s rustic, but I had a private bathroom, a large bed, Wi-Fi, a window, and a double bed. And the best part—the super-friendly owner gave me one of the gas heaters from the hallway. Aït Ouglif: Hôtel Aït Marghad. (See the map) Negotiated to 150 MAD instead of 240 MAD with breakfast. The place was half-closed because it was off-season. Room with a double bed on the ground floor, window, Wi-Fi, and bathroom. Heating provided—essential. The hassle was that there was almost no hot water. Ouarzazate: Hôtel Atlas 13 rue du marché +212 524 887 745 It’s on the pedestrian street. (See photos) Negotiated to 13 €. Old-fashioned room, double bed with a very hard mattress. Private bathroom, window, and Wi-Fi. Taliouine: Hôtel Le Safran. A 20-minute walk from the center—no other choice. Otherwise, there are a few local hotels, but even if I’m not always picky, there are limits. (See the map) Negotiated from 300 MAD to 200 MAD. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, window, king-size bed, private bathroom. The room is large (No. 11). (There’s a pool in the hotel.) Hôtel Atlas Bordeaux: +212 666 752 292 (next to the bus station) Usually, I’m not too picky, but honestly, skip this one. This place could be good because it’s central if: the cleaning was thorough. The bathrooms need to be redone... etc. No sheets—just a sort of blanket on the mattress and another to cover yourself. Obviously not clean. No towel. A bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in way too long. In short, absolutely avoid. 120 MAD! Taroudant: Hôtel (mini) Atlas Bld Mansour Eddahbi (see map and photos) Double room with window, large bed, private bathroom, Wi-Fi (not great). A hotel that doesn’t look like much but is sparkling clean! 90 MAD for a single, 120 MAD for a double. Tiznit: Résidence Chem (see map) 100 MAD for a room with two single beds (very hard), window, private bathroom, and Wi-Fi. Clean but poorly maintained. Tafraout: Espace Tifawine (see the map). Hotel with a pool. Negotiated to 14 € on-site instead of 30 € on Booking. I could even choose my room. A large room with two beds—one big and one small. A large bathroom, a window, and Wi-Fi. Sidi Ifni: Hôtel Suerte Loca. (No contact, see GPS) I paid 140 MAD for a room in this dive—no negotiation possible. My room had a tiny terrace, the walls were repainted, but it’s super noisy (neighbors). Worse, when someone uses the water, there’s a loud machinery noise. That’s not all—the mattress is really worn out and sagging. The bathroom isn’t great. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work! This place still enjoys its old reputation, but it’s really run-down, and everything is old. The bedding is the worst I had in Morocco. Skip it. There’s much better for cheaper elsewhere! Hôtel La Belle Vue: Just before Suerte Loca +212 528 875 242 The reception staff was more than unfriendly. After seeing the rooms, I didn’t stay because the bedding would’ve been like sleeping on a yoga mat. Obviously not worth the 200 MAD asked for. Hôtel Aït Baamrane. Further down on the beach. Same price as above. The only difference is that everything is in good condition and comfortable, with a warm welcome.

Hôtel Safa: (see the map and photos.) On-site, no negotiation possible—200 MAD; on Booking, it was over 350 MAD. Huge room with all the luxury you could hope for. Breakfast included, large bay window, king-size bed, TV, Wi-Fi, furniture, and of course, a private bathroom. Agadir: Hôtel Kamal (see map) The only hotel I booked through Booking because there was a good discount. Except on-site, the hotel never wanted to give me the discount. At night, small insects that strongly resemble cockroaches—yet it’s high-end with doormen, etc. I contacted Booking, but nothing worked! I paid 250 MAD! Essaouira: Hôtel Elkasbah Souiria (See map and photo) Small room (No. 18) with a single bed and all the comforts. Private bathroom, window, Wi-Fi, and breakfast included (all-you-can-eat buffet). No negotiation possible—200 MAD. Chez Lina: Rue El Khemiset +212 658 042 562 (she speaks French) Large apartment with two bedrooms. Private bathroom on the landing. Wi-Fi. New, so not yet well set up. Far from the center. I paid 15 € instead of 18 € on Booking. Marrakech: Hôtel Atlas 50 rue Sidi Bouloukate +212 661 358 662 Tiny room on the ground floor with a shared bathroom. Wi-Fi, tiny window, very dark and noisy. 12 €

On December 31st, I’m joined by friends. The rooms will be for three people. Marrakech: Hôtel Agnaou 10 avenue or passage Moulay Rachid. +212 705 306 275. Negotiated on-site to 28 € for a room with a window to the outside and a private bathroom. Wi-Fi. Riad Todos: in the old medina +34 643 480 502 Watch out for extra taxes they might try to charge you. No heating. This place could be nice if better maintained. Bad smell of cat urine. Water leak in the bathroom. Wall crumbling from humidity. However, the reception staff is warm and tries to satisfy you. 120 MAD booked on Airbnb! Imlil: Auberge de la Vallée (see map) Large room with 4 beds. All comforts. Private bathroom, heating, Wi-Fi, and breakfast. Negotiated on-site to 300 MAD for three people. Ouarzazate: Hôtel Iazal: Av. Moulay Abdellah +212 524 886 187 (see photos) Very expensive for this hotel. Small room for 3 with a tiny, impractical bathroom. Heating, Wi-Fi, window. The showerhead is placed between the tiny sink and the toilet. The small space floods quickly. Far from the pedestrian center. No negotiation possible—350 MAD for three. Agdz: Guesthouse Le Chant des Palmiers. (See map) Very nice room—more like a small apartment with a fireplace corner, gas heating, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, windows, bedroom area plus two single beds. Breakfast included. Negotiated to 400 MAD for 3 people instead of 840 MAD on Booking. Zagora: Hôtel La Palmeraie. (See map) Room with bathroom, Wi-Fi (not great), heating, and window. Breakfast included. No negotiation—300 MAD (for 3). Aït Ben Haddou: Auberge La Barraka (see the map) Large, beautiful room with windows, Wi-Fi, heating, bathroom. Breakfast included. Pool. Negotiate a good price—but I didn’t note it down. (Around mid-January) Essaouira: El Kasbah Souiria. (See above) Room for three. Same benefits. No negotiation. 500 MAD. Casablanca: 664, Résidence Clémentine BD Mohamed V, Roches Noires. +33 6681 48002 Large, upscale apartment. Not far from Casa Voyageurs train station. Booked on Booking. 45 € (Last day, January 16th). Upon arrival, the price is always a few euros cheaper than on Booking—except in rare cases. Then, negotiation is possible or not! Prices vary depending on the season.

A few good places (for me) to eat.

Fes: Chez Hakim. (See map) Very good, hearty, and almost cheaper than anywhere else in the medina. Ouarzazate: Pasto wood-fired oven Place Al-Mouahidine +212 696 484 281 It had been a long time since I’d eaten such a good pizza (better than in most restaurants in France). At a price that beats all competition! Midelt: Berber Restaurant. (See map and photos) A dive that doesn’t look like much but is delicious at a more than affordable price. Marrakech: Dar EL WALIDIN Raid laahrouse, Rte Sidi Abdelaziz +212 653 493 637 Great selection, good food, and also cheap!

(At Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Under the warm welcome at restaurant « Chez Ali N° 65 », we got scammed out of 7 € when paying the bill! Experts at swindling.) Azrou: Snack La Forêt (see map) Again, good food at a low price. Merzouga: Snack Alafrah VOLUBILIS: The price has gone up to 100 MAD. Honestly, if you’re not an archaeology buff, it’s not worth it! BANKS: The best exchange rate I got was at BMCI. For ATMs, I paid the least fees at Banque Populaire. TRANSPORTATION:

Airport taxi Tangier to Petit Socco: 100 MAD Train: Fes to Meknès Al Amir: 35 MAD Casablanca to Airport: 60 MAD

Grand Taxis: (Shared taxi for 7 people that only leaves when full. I never waited more than 15 minutes to leave. There’s good turnover, and the vehicles are in good condition. They go faster than buses and are almost always cheaper. Prices are fixed, and you don’t pay the driver but the station chief!)

Meknès to Moulay Idriss: 12 MAD Moulay Idriss to Azrou: 35 MAD Midelt to Errachidia: 60 MAD Errachidia to Rissani: 40 MAD (I preferred this option rather than leaving at night or very early in the morning from Errachidia to Merzouga with Supratour, the only company that goes to Merzouga.) Rissani to Merzouga: 15 MAD Taliouine to Taroudant: 45 MAD (The bus is cheaper but takes longer) Taroudant to Inezgane: 35 MAD (Agadir suburb) I connected directly to Tiznit. Inezgane to Tiznit: 35 MAD Tiznit to Tafraout: 45 MAD (2-hour trip) Tiznit to Sidi Ifni: 35 MAD Agadir to Essaouira: 100 MAD Essaouira to Marrakech: 100 MAD Imlil to Marrakech: 35 MAD Grand taxi for three to Imlil: 220 MAD BUS: Tangier to Chefchaouen: 65 + 5 MAD baggage CTM Chefchaouen to Fes: 135 + 5 MAD CTM Azrou to Midelt: 50 MAD local bus Merzouga to Tinghir: 110 + 5 MAD Supratour Tinghir to Boumlane Dades: 30 + 5 MAD Supratour Boumlane Dades to Ouarzazate: 30 MAD minibus Ouarzazate to Taliouine: 60 MAD Satas company Sidi Ifni to Agadir: 95 + 5 MAD CTM Agadir to Essaouira: 70 MAD Trans Al Yamama Essaouira to Marrakech: 65 MAD Argana company Marrakech to Essaouira: 60 + 5 MAD Virago Mogador company Essaouira to Casablanca: 100 + 5 MAD

Sidi Ifni: To go to Legzira, there are green shared buses that leave every 2 hours for 6 MAD. Petit Taxis: You have to negotiate hard—the price can double. Example: In Fes, they asked me for 50 MAD from the bus station to the Blue Gate. By walking a bit further and being patient, I got a taxi for 20 MAD! Another example: From Agadir’s bus station, they asked for 40 MAD to go to Hôtel Kamal. In the end, I paid 15 MAD! Here’s all the practical info I gathered during my trip to Morocco from late October to mid-January. It’s up to you to see if it’s useful or not.

Sharing our 3-week experience in Brazil
by Isamacha · 2024-12-14 · 16 replies
Hello, We’re a couple in our sixties and we’ve just spent 22 days in Brazil, from October 29th to November 21st. We flew from Marseille via Lisbon—outbound to Rio, and back from Recife. Our itinerary: 4 days in Rio 4 days on Ilha Grande 2 days in Paraty 4 days in Salvador 4 days on Boïpeba 4 days in Olinda The transfer between Boïpeba and Recife took us 2 days—boats, taxis, and a flight. We stayed in Airbnbs except in Paraty, where we were in a pousada, and during the Boïpeba–Recife transfer, when we booked a hotel near the airport. Our flights were with Gol and Azul. Transfers from Rio were arranged through Paraty Tour. In Rio, we used a local agency to visit Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountain.

Happy to answer any questions! Marc
Global tourism responsible for 8.8% of greenhouse gas emissions

I would’ve preferred to post this in the "Travel News" section, but it’s not open to new discussions. Still, this is definitely sensitive news directly related to travel.

"With growth twice as fast as the global economy, tourism has a heavy impact on climate balance. In this regard, aviation poses a specific challenge." (From Le Parisien with AFP)

Transposer en hiver un road trip estival (quid du réseau routier Yosemite-Yellowstone) English translation pending
by Margouillon · 2020-04-12 · 7 replies
Oyez! Oyez!

Because le Covid19 et comme beaucoup d'entre vous je pense, je dois malheureusement annuler mon voyage qui devait débuter le mois prochain. Enfin pas vraiment l'annuler mais plutôt le reporter. Et là, j'ai besoin de vos expériences et expertises. En effet, je souhaite transposer mes 3 semaines estivales au mois de décembre! Sans quasiment rien changer à mon programme. Possible or not possible, telle est la question.

Plusieurs interrogations qui concernent particulièrement le réseau routier en hiver: - Yosemite -> Reno via le Lac Tahoe (la route 88 ou la 89 sont-elles accessibles?) - L'accès à West Yellowstone en provenance de Idaho par route 20 est-elle toujours ouverte? - Pour le Grand Teton, arrivée par l'entrée sud uniquement. Quels risques sur la route 33?). Enfin, quid des déplacements autour de Jenny lake et Jackson Lake.

Entendons-nous bien, je parle des accès en condition hivernale normale et non en cas d'épisode neigeux extraordinaire.

Merci par avance pour vos témoignages. Bon dimanche

Bonsoir,

est ce que tu sais s'il est possible de trouver sur BKK un marchand de trottinette électrique ?

Ou ma seule solution est de passer par Lazada ou Gearbest .

Suis tenté par le modèle Xiaomi mais si d'autres marques c'est ok quand même.

Encore une question sur Aerolineas Argentinas English translation pending
by Dannyck · 2019-04-15 · 4 replies
Bonjour à tous, j'ai déjà posé plus loin une question sur Aérolineas mais voilà, qui à constaté cela : Ayant plusieurs vols intérieurs à faire, je me renseigne sur les tarifs des vols via un comparateur. Celui-ci me renvoyant sur Aérolineas, je me suis rendu directement sur leur site. En choisissant un vol sur leur site Argentin (petit drapeau Argentin et langue Espagnole), j'ai un prix de 1736 ARS soit 37€ au cour actuel. Même vol sur leur site en langue Française, 84€ soit plus du double ! En essayant de finaliser sur leur site Argentin, il est écrit à la fin que ce mode est réservé aux ressortissants Argentins. Les autres doivent utiliser le site de leur pays. Quelqu'un a-t-il une idée sur ça ? Que se passerai t-il si je réserve sur le site Argentin ? Merci à tous.

Service militaire en Algérie et double nationalité English translation pending
by Kanoe82 · 2019-03-22 · 4 replies
Bonjour,

Je sais que ce sujet à été abordé plusieurs fois, mais je n'arrive pas à trouver de réponses à mon cas.

Je suis né en France avec un parent de nationalité algérienne et un parent de nationalité francaise. A mes 16 ans environ j'ai effectué ma journée d'appel (JAPD), donc l'équivalent du service militaire obligatoire français.

A mes 18 ans, j'ai demandé la nationalité algérienne afin d'avoir la double nationalité. J'ai donc obtenu mes papiers algériens, et j'ai maintenant la double nationalité. J'ai plus de 30 ans et je n'ai jamais utilisé ces papiers car je ne suis jamais allé en Algérie depuis que j'ai la double nationalité.

Quelles démarches dois-je effectuer pour ne pas avoir de problème avec le service militaire algérien? Je n'ai jamais eu aucun courrier, aucun appel ou quoique ce soit me demande de l'effectuer, mais je veux juste m'assurer que si je rends visite à ma famille à Alger, je n'aurais jamais de soucis.

Merci de votre aide.
