Non, je ne démarre pas une discussion. Mais il me semblait qu'il fallait absolument partager ce texte qui m'a beaucoup fait rire:

CONVERSATION REELLE CAPTEE SUR LE CANAL 106 FREQUENCE DES SECOURS MARITIMES DE LA COTE DU FINISTERE (GALLICE), ENTRE DES GALLICIENS ET DES NORD-AMERICAINS. 16 OCTOBRE 1997

Galiciens (bruit de fond) : Ici le A-853, merci de bien vouloir dévier votre trajectoire de 15 degrés au sud pour éviter d'entrer en collision avec nous. Vous arrivez directement sur nous à une distance de 25 milles nautiques.

Américains (bruit de fond) : Nous vous recommandons de dévier vous-même votre trajectoire de 15 degrés nord pour éviter la collision.

Galiciens : Négatif! Nous répétons: déviez votre trajectoire de 15 degrés sud pour éviter la collision.

Américains (une voix différente de la précédente) : Ici le capitaine! Le capitaine d'un navire des États-Unis d'Amérique. Nous insistons, déviez votre trajectoire de 15 degrés nord pour éviter la collision.

Galiciens : Négatif ! Nous ne pensons pas que cette alternative puisse convenir, nous vous suggérons donc de dévier votre trajectoire de 15 degrés sud pour éviter la collision.

Américains (voix irritée) :Ici le capitaine Richard James Howard, au commandement du porte-avions USS LINCOLN, de la marine nationale des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, le second plus gros navire de guerre de la flotte américaine! Nous sommes escortés par deux cuirassiers, 6 destroyers, 5 croiseurs, 4 sous-marins et de nombreuses embarcations d'appui. Nous nous dirigeons vers les eaux du Golfe Persique pour préparer les manoeuvres militaires en prévision d'une éventuelle offensive Irakienne. Nous ne vous suggérons pas, nous vous ordonnons, de dévier votre route de 15 degrés nord! Dans le cas contraire nous nous verrions obligés de prendre les mesures qui s'imposent pour garantir la sécurité de cette flotte et de la force de cette coalition. Vous appartenez à un pays allié, membre de l'OTAN et de cette coalition, s'il vous plait, obéissez immédiatement et sortez de notre trajectoire.

Galiciens : C'est Juan Manuel Salas Alcántara qui vous parle, nous sommes deux personnes, nous sommes escortés par notre chien, par notre bouffe, deux bières et un canari qui est actuellement en train de dormir. Nous avons l'appui de la radio de la Corogne et du canal 106 "urgences maritimes". Nous ne nous dirigeons nulle part, dans la mesure où nous vous parlons depuis la terre ferme. Nous sommes dans le phare A-853, au Finistère de la côte de Galice. Nous n'avons pas la moindre putain d'idée de la position que nous occupons au classement des phares espagnols. Vous pouvez prendre toutes les mesures que vous considérez opportunes car nous vous laissons le putain de soin de garantir la sécurité de votre flotte de merde qui va se ramasser la gueule contre les rochers! C'est pour cela que nous insistons à nouveau et vous rappelons que le mieux à faire, le plus logique et le plus raisonnable serait que déviiez votre trajectoire de 15 degrés sud pour éviter de nous rentrer dedans!

Américains : Bien reçu, merci...

Vfistes, disons que s'il faut trouver un titre de discussion, cela pourrait être les difficultés de la navigation...

Comme si le Tsunami ne leur suffisait pas, je viens de lire qu'un accident de bus a eu lieu dans le Karnataka au N-E de Bangalore. Le bus est tombé dans un canal = 57 morts. Le sort s'acharne décidemment sur ces régions.

bonsoir,

Je recherche des adresses d'hôtels*** à VENISE.

quels sont les endroits incontournables?

merci et bonnes fêtes de fin d'année.

Bonjour,

Je souhaite partir a madagascar et recherche des villages de pecheurs le probleme c'est que je n'en trouve pas énormément.

Merci pour votre aide.

BONSOIR,

Je recherche désespérément des renseignements comme:

Transfert maritime d'un véhicule avec ses passagers du Panama à la Colombie, Port d'embarquement, délai d'attente, Prix ...

Et tout autre renseignement utile.

Merci D'avance

Ce sujet n'est pas clair:

Ushuaia a t'il un interet autre que le fait d'etre arrivé au bout ? La moitié de mes sources dises oui. l'autre non 😉 Apparemment l'interet reside surtout sur une navigation sur le canal beagle, les environs de la ville et si on a de la chance des animaux multiples et variés. Cela vaut il le detour par rapport par exemple a Torres del Paine ou Punta Arenas ? Ne pas aller a Ushuaia permet de rester + longtemps dans ces endroits.

Merci de tout eclaircissement

Est-ce que quelqu'un peux me renseigner sur les différentes saisons par arpport au tourisme en Italie??

Bonsoir

Je compte partir environ un mois, mon idée est d'arriver à Ushuaia et de remonter jusqu'à Santiago pour repartir vers la france ensuite.

Je souhaite partir en bateau d'ushuaia pour rejoindre Punta Arenas en passant par bahia cook, le canal Cockburn puis le détroit de Magelan. Avez vous connaissance d'un tel trajet, en combien de temps est-ce faisable ? peut etre existe t'il d'autres trajets ? avez vous une idée du couts ? De Punta Arenas je compte ensuite rejoindre El Calafate en Argentine soit par avion soit par la route pour le glacier du perito Moreno puis le fitz roy Ensuite de Calafate rejoindre san carlos de bariloche par avion (fréquence ?) puis ensuite Mendoza avec un passage au niveau de l'aconcagua avant de rejoindre santiago. Réalisable en 1 mois ? Je compte faire cet itinéraire en mars avril ou mai, que me conseiller vous ? Merci de vos précieuses réponses

Bonjour tout le monde, je pars pour le Panama le 5 juin pour 2 semaines. Je me suis batie un itinéraire et j'aimerais bien savoir ce que le voyageur expérimenté en pense:

Arrivé a Panama, visite de la ville (zoo, site historique etc...)

Traversée vers l'ile de Taboga

Je longe le canal et me rend ensuite vers Portobello

Par la suite je prend le bus et je me dirige vers le volcan Baru. Entre temp je pourrais m'arrêter sur les plages du pacifique.

Apres la visite du volcan, direction Bocas del toro..Retour a Panama city en avion.

Qu'en pensez vous? Avez vous d'autres destinations a me proposer?

Merci!

Bonjour,

Faisant un sejour au Canada l'été prochain, je désirais connaitre ce qu'il y a à visiter à Ottawa, les coins les plus sympas.

Merci

avec mon ami nous avons un rêve de vie et d'aventure, partir en voilier de Nice pour aller à La Réunion. Nous pensons passer par le canal de suez et nous aimerions avoir les contacts avec des navigateurs qui ont tenté cette expérience et qui peuvent nous donner des conseils sur cette traverser et notamment la meilleure periode pour traverser le canal de suez et l'océan indien jusqu'aux Seychelles !!! merci

Last bike trek 2026 for Claudio from La Faverges Pretty but pricey! Tough due to Z-route errors: damn GPS!

Here’s the deal: claudio finally did the bike trek he’d been planning for N+1 years, heading toward the Northeastern Region of France. A few highlights: Jura Vesoul Épinal Arbois VéloRoute 50; Northeastern Canals (Saar Canal); Sarrebourg Saarbrücken Alsace Bossue Lorraine Vosges Jura Switzerland Story and photos coming soon... Story in progress...

Setting off from Geneva, a bit grumpy, toward the shores of Lake Geneva, we weave through the crowds of wild commuters, but calmly via Versoix, Tannay, Commugny, Founex, Céligny, and finally Genolier, where the real fun begins. Indeed, while the road from Arzier to St-Cergue and La Givrine offers stunning views of the Lake Geneva basin, the climb is challenging. But after atoning for a few sins, the village of La Cure is reached as easily as pie. To avoid the main road and prolong the fun, we opt for the route to Prémanon and Morez via unlikely backroads. Phew: Lons-le-Saunier at last! Still, quite a bit of meandering to find our campsite. We lose not only our bearings but also our Michelin map, but eventually stumble upon the hostel—a bit spartan, but at least we’re sheltered.

Hello,

We’ll be doing this cruise with an extension to Easter Island and Iguazu Falls.

Has anyone got any recommendations?

Dear community members, For years, we’ve shared our stories, tips, and travel mishaps here. That’s the strength of our forum. However, we’ve noticed a trend: more and more travelers find themselves stuck with critical questions that need an immediate answer. Sometimes, a post on the forum takes a few hours or even days to get the right response. When you’re traveling, you don’t always have that time—nor do you when you come across a great deal that’s only available for a few hours for booking. Some questions also go unanswered.

Why a WhatsApp group? To complement our discussions here, we’ve decided to launch a WhatsApp support group. The idea is simple: provide an instant communication channel for those who need reliable info, right away. Locals with real-time access to information can answer your questions.

What you’ll find there:

Answers to your specific destination questions: Unsure about a document? Ask your question live. On-the-ground alerts: Last-minute updates on border openings or transport conditions. No promotional content: we focus on your questions

How to join us?

The group is open to all forum members. Whether you’re in the middle of planning or already on the road with your backpack, this thread is here to help keep you safe.

Join the WhatsApp support thread here

Note: We’ll of course continue exchanging long stories and in-depth advice on the forum, but for urgent or technical/logistical questions, we’ll see you on WhatsApp!

I’m just starting to plan our trip for late August 2026, but I’ve read multiple times that campsite bookings need to be made *way* in advance if we want to secure a spot—especially in the parks. Before I get too far into my road book, I’d love to get a sense of what “way in advance” actually means.

That leads to another question: what’s the best *channel* for making these reservations? Can I find a list of campsites online?

From what I’ve gathered, there aren’t any fenced campsites—is wild camping allowed?

I’ll admit, I’m short on time, and reading a few threads here has shown me how quick and helpful the experts are 😉.

We’re a group of 4 and plan to rent a 4x4. Rooftop tents seem like the better option given the wildlife (and, well, *people* roaming freely), especially compared to Namibia (which we visited in 2018).

Thanks in advance to everyone!

Hi, I’ve booked a cruise on the Stella Australis for early February 2026. Departure from Punta Arenas, arrival in Ushuaia in 5 days with 4 nights on board, and stops (zodiac landings). Has anyone already done this cruise or hung out… way down there? What I’m wondering is what kind of clothes to bring, since I’ll need to gear up. Thanks in advance for your tips. Xabi.

Hello, I'm looking for a small town where we can eat and stay near the canals of Brittany to do short bike rides of about 50 km round trip. Ideally, it would be a town at a junction of several canals, but I'm not sure if that exists. Otherwise, a town like Redon with the Nantes-Brest canal and, on the other side, the Vilaine River. But I don’t know if there are paths that can be used along these canals.

Thanks for replying if you have any ideas.

Cheers, Néo.

I just got back from an unforgettable road trip in Madagascar where I drove down the legendary RN7. It connects Tana (the capital) to Tulear. Since we were traveling as a group of girls, we decided to go with a guide. I’d never done an “organized” trip before, but I have to say we loved this first tailor-made travel experience. From the highlands of the Red Island down to the west coast, by the Mozambique Channel. Vast landscapes as far as the eye can see Human encounters Discovering ancestral artisanal know-how Sunsets over the ochre mountains Intense, precious moments with my friends We loved the mountains, visits to artisans, and the parties too ;-) We used local guides to show us specific spots (like Isalo National Park, where we were able to bivouac)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a travel buddy available from 16/08 to 2/09 who enjoys cycling, hiking, sea swimming, or kayaking to explore A Coruña (accommodation is already booked). Ideally someone who loves natural spaces and heritage. I’d like to meet for a weekend beforehand to get to know each other. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! 🚴‍♂️🏊‍♀️🛶

Hi everyone, We’re organizing a week-long bike trip for a group of scouts. I’ve already mapped out a route using Géovélo (travel option). The teens will take the train to Nemours (or a bit beyond) and then follow the Loire à Vélo route for a good stretch (until Nevers, which they’ll bypass to the west). After Nevers, things get a bit trickier. I also wanted to avoid Moulins, so I planned for them to follow the Allier’s west bank and cross near Châtel-de-Neuvre. I’m having some doubts about the route and really want to steer clear of busy main roads as much as possible. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the route I’ve chosen, plus any tips you might have. I saw there’s the V70 veloroute, but I decided against it after hearing it has some *very* road-heavy sections.

Hi there,

I’m currently in Hoi An—I hadn’t set foot here for 8 years. The city has already changed a lot, with lots of construction, and even in the old town, along one side of the riverbank, there are huge residential buildings going up that take away some of the charm of this place. But the worst part is the overtourism—it’s impossible to walk across the famous bridge in the middle of the canal in the evening because it’s so packed with people. There’s also a new trend: massage parlors have opened in the old town and around the city. I was shocked—people call out to you or even grab your arm on the sidewalk, and it’s everywhere. Bangkok and Phuket might start shaking—Hanoi’s the same way.

Anyway, let’s talk about the dual pricing specifically for non-Vietnamese tourists. We went to a restaurant near our hotel last night, and they gave us an English menu—okay, fine! But I noticed the table next to us, where Vietnamese tourists had a different menu. Weird! I asked to see the same menu as my neighbors, but the waitress refused, saying it was in Vietnamese and we wouldn’t understand. I insisted, and she finally agreed. Surprise!!! The prices on the two menus were different, with the English one up to 50% more expensive. I asked why, and she got flustered, telling me to just order from the Vietnamese menu, which I translated with my phone to see the local prices. I mentioned this to the hotel this morning, and the receptionist told me to go to restaurants where prices are displayed at the entrance to avoid getting ripped off. I just bought fresh bread this morning, and it was the same thing—the little loaf costs 4000 dong for Vietnamese people and 5000 dong for non-Vietnamese. It’s not a huge difference, but this way of doing things isn’t right. At supermarkets like VinMart+, prices are displayed, so there’s no surprise or dual pricing there.

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if you can help us out. We’ll be in Venice from June 8th to 17th. We arrive at the airport on the 8th and planned to take the Alilaguna waterbus to St. Mark’s Square to get to our Airbnb. We’ve estimated arriving at St. Mark’s Square between 11 AM and 12 PM. We didn’t realize we’d be arriving on the day of the race.

Because of the Vogalonga race taking place on June 8th, is the Grand Canal still navigable? If not, from what time will it be accessible again?

Thanks, Jacques

Hi there, I’m planning a 22-day trip to Madagascar this July.

And I could really use some advice 😊

Here’s what I’m sure about: Spending a few days in Nosy Be so my daughter can complete her Open Water certification—so I’m thinking 4 or 5 days there. I think Diego Suarez, Montagne d’Ambre, and Ankarana would suit what we like to do and have the advantage of being close to Nosy Be.

Now, the parts I’m unsure about, especially because of travel times:

My daughters really want to see whales. Is it possible around Nosy Be, or is Sainte Marie *the* must-visit spot? And what’s the weather like at that time of year? If we choose Sainte Marie, maybe do the Pangalanes Canal? Or is the route from Diego to Sainte Marie via the Vanilla Road a must-do?

Another option could be exploring the east with the Tsiribihina River and the Avenue of the Baobabs in Morondava.

Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hi there,

We’re heading to Panama from January 29 to February 13 as a couple, and I’m unsure about the order and duration of the stops. Here’s what I have in mind:

2 days in San Blas

2 days in Santa Fe (it’s either that or Boquete, but I think I’d prefer Santa Fe)

4 days in the Bocas del Toro archipelago

3 days in Panama City and surroundings

2 days in Valle de Antón? Not sure if it’s really worth it

1 "flexible" day

What do you think?

We’re also debating whether to take a direct flight to Bocas first, then rent a car to gradually make our way back to Panama City and do San Blas at the end—or do the opposite: start with San Blas, rent a car, and finish with the domestic flight from Bocas back to Panama City.

Any specific tips?

Thanks so much for your help! 😊

Hi there, These cities aren’t in the guidebooks much, but they’re absolutely worth a detour—just 180 km from Osaka and perfect for a stop on your way back from the south or heading down from Osaka. I’ve been here for five days, and the autumn colors are simply stunning: bright reds, vibrant yellows, deep maroons, and lush greens against a crystal-blue sky. Fall here is magical. Plus, the canal in central Okayama (Nishigawa) is all lit up. Hardly any Western tourists stop here, but there are plenty of Japanese visitors.

Given the extreme difficulty of getting a dentist appointment in my area (Lot/Aveyron—even traveling 2 hours each way by train to Toulouse, even with the dentist I’ve been a client of for years in my small town of Capdenac)—and considering the cost of dental implants in France, I decided to get a full dental overhaul during my annual stay of several months in Kerala (I’ve been spending time in Alleppey from late October to late March for several years now).

My Indian friends in Alleppey recommended a private dental clinic (I was pleasantly surprised that this clinic was qualified to place implants, as I thought I’d have to make multiple trips to Ernakulam/Cochin—60 km each way on a road that’s pretty rough right now due to massive construction stretching for dozens of kilometers). Results of the check-up on November 5, 2024: - 1 canine and an adjacent premolar slightly chipped at the top → need root canal treatment before covering them with a crown - 1 molar next to those two teeth already had a root canal → also needs a crown - 1 other canine broken deep down → needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant - 4 molars completely extracted years ago → 4 dental implants.

Here are the procedures I’ve already had (from November 5 to 22, 2024): - First session: initial assessment by the lead dentist (multiple X-rays displayed on a large screen, which he used to explain what he could do and what he recommended. For each implant, he showed me the required bone depth, and since I have very strong jaws, he remarked that I was an ideal candidate for implants). A dental assistant then outlined the proposed treatment timeline and the cost of each major procedure on a piece of paper (I took a photo of the notes so I wouldn’t lose track of the details). - Second session: placement of dental implants on the 4 molars in about an hour and a half (under local anesthesia—long but not painful at all during the procedure, though I had a bad headache all day afterward and a dull but manageable ache for a few days. Medication to take for 5 days, including an antibiotic. Obviously, no chewing hard foods for a while—soup, mashed potatoes, rice, yogurt for two days, then gradually more varied meals). Stitches for the gums around the 4 molars. - Third session: root canal treatment for a canine and a premolar (very long but absolutely painless under local anesthesia) + extraction of the deeply broken canine (a bit painful despite the anesthesia, but bearable—the lead dentist had to apply force and try three times. An assistant held my head from behind, but it was more unsettling than painful). - Fourth session: preparation of the canine, premolar, and adjacent molar for two crowns and a bridge. Removal of stitches around the 4 implants already placed. - Fifth session: impressions for the 2 crowns and bridge - Sixth session: placement of the 2 crowns and bridge - Seventh session scheduled for December 6: placement of a 5th implant where the canine was extracted - Late February: placement of the 5 crowns on the 5 implants

Meanwhile, my 85-year-old mother had a loose tooth extracted that had been bothering her since mid-September 2024 (her French dentist wouldn’t give her an appointment before January 2025, and she even traveled to a dentist in Toulouse who ultimately refused to extract it, even though the tooth was barely holding on and I’d sent the list of medications she takes in advance. My mother was furious about the wasted trip, and so was I, though I tried to stay calm!). At the Alleppey dental clinic, the assistants reviewed her medication list, looked them up online to identify them, and weren’t concerned. Another dentist extracted her tooth (under local anesthesia, of course) in barely 30 seconds. My mother immediately trusted them and decided on the spot to get a full lower denture. It was delivered to her definitively on Friday, November 22 (I think it took 4 or 5 sessions total). After two days of use, she’s happy with it and has a follow-up appointment next week for a check-up and adjustments if needed (though major modifications aren’t possible after the teeth are fixed to the denture). The session where the young dentist shaped the denture in real time was impressively precise and professional (the base had already been made from an impression, and the dentist added at least ten layers of softened paste with a flame, testing each addition in her mouth. Each time, he asked her to move her tongue from cheek to cheek, stick out her tongue, talk for 15 seconds, and swallow to ensure the denture wasn’t uncomfortable—about 45 minutes total).

Ballpark costs of the procedures: - Tooth extraction: around 2000 ₹ - Root canal treatment: around 5000 ₹ - Ceramic crown placement: around 15,000 ₹ - Titanium implant placement (made by Nobel Biocare): around 35,000 ₹ (Total for implant + tooth: around 50,000 ₹) - Lower denture fabrication: just under 20,000 ₹. Three material options—my mother chose the best for a rigid denture. She didn’t want to get 2 implants to secure it better (she didn’t feel the need with her old, very worn denture).

General impressions: This dental clinic is very well-regarded in Alleppey (according to all my Indian friends). There are two operating chairs on the ground floor and at least four on the first floor. The lead dentist (quite young) owns the clinic and handles the most delicate procedures (like implants) while occasionally overseeing work done by colleagues (after another dentist performed the root canal on my two teeth, he not only visually inspected it but also gave it a final touch with the drill). How many dentists handle more routine procedures? I’m not sure, but they’re all fairly young—men and a few young women. There are also many assistants: some prepare tools or operate the saliva suction, while others, more qualified, process images (X-rays or scans) on screen and explain things to me using those images. Others spent ten minutes briefing my mother in the waiting room on how to use and care for her new denture. During more delicate procedures, the operating dentist is assisted by two others. Two receptionists handle payments and appointments at the front desk. The welcome is always efficient and attentive, thanks to the dental assistants who guide us and provide explanations (the two receptionists don’t speak English). Appointments are always quick, even though the clinic seems busy (the waiting room is often full of Indian clients, though patients rarely come alone—they’re usually accompanied by a family member who stays close during the procedure). All the dentists speak English (since my mother doesn’t, I sat near the operating chair during each session to translate). So far, no complaints—I’m looking forward to March 2025 for the final result after the 5 teeth are placed on my 5 implants (the two crowns and bridge already fitted are perfect for me). 🙂

Bonjour,

Je suis étudiante à Londres mais je suis sur Toulouse et souhaiterais au mois d’octobre rentrer à Londres en vélo sachant que j’ai aussi un chien que je compte tirer avec une remorque ou il sera dedans. Je compte d’abord effectuer le trajet Toulouse - Paris et ensuite prendre le ferry à Dieppe et de paris à Londres rejoindre le chemin balisé qui est fait pour faire ce projet en vélo environ 500km. Par ailleurs de Toulouse à paris je ne sais pas trop comment m’y prendre par où passer pour que ce soit le plus sécurisé et facile sachant que j’ai bcp de poids à tirer. Si quelqu’un peux me donner des conseils ou l’as fait ou à quelques Recommendations je suis prenneuse . Merci Clara

Bonjour à tous ! Mon copain et moi allons fêter nos 3 ans de couple en Guadeloupe. (il est lui même Guadeloupeen) J'aurais aimé trouver un restaurant avec une belle vue sur la mer, ou dans les terres avec un joli cadre... Et à prix correct, je ne veux pas d'un attrape touristes ! J'ai envie qu'on fête cet évènement dans un joli lieu ! Connaissez vous des restaurants de ce genre ? Je suis véhiculée et je serai à petit canal, je peux conduire 45 min environ. Merci à vous !
