Hi, July 2026: I’m writing to you from Dali. First, I got scammed on Booking—AI-retouched photos. No tourists at this hotel (Yishanju Designer Hotel), and the reality was horrible: dirty, with a disgusting breakfast. It’s better to use Trip.com here. Next, the old town was an infernal cacophony, packed with tourists who shoved past without a care. Some vendors harassed you to buy things. All the stalls sold the same cheap plastic junk or other uninteresting stuff. The beautiful scenery was ruined by vendors lining 100% of the alleys. Impossible to walk, crushing heat, nothing good to eat except fresh fruit. Horrible experience. Day 2: We went to Cangshan Mountain by cable car—the ride was short and nothing spectacular. We were at 2,600 m. My plan was to see Erhai Lake. Unfortunately, I followed the advice of an AI chatbot: take the boat at Langkan Dock. The Didi dropped us off in the nearest area, which was full of charming little alleys but packed with Chinese tourists. The three-wheeled yellow cabs zoomed through the narrow streets, forcing you to hug the walls, on top of the scooters and other pedestrians to deal with. Crossing the neighborhood was hellish and suffocating. Once out, we hit the "corniche," which was also packed with Chinese tourists. The lake’s edge was all pebbles, and everyone was standing around taking photos. I was with my 5-year-old son. I would’ve liked to sit down and let him play with stones by the water, but it was clear we didn’t belong. They were even shoving each other for a shot! There were no boats in sight. In short, we’d had enough, and there was nothing interesting there either. On the way back, we had to cross that maze again under the scorching sun. My son was braver than me—I even had a little dizzy spell from all the chaos. Add to that Dali’s altitude (2,200 m), so altitude insomnia, fatigue, and vulnerability during the day... The restaurants weren’t inviting—the staff served sticky rice in a little bucket. The dishes were wrapped, and you had to figure it out yourself. After that, they ignored you completely, even if you were the only tourist. On the 3rd day, it was time to leave for Shaxi. I hope to see beautiful villages. But honestly, I’m exhausted by this atmosphere where everything is complicated, communication is never smooth, noise is everywhere, and the behavior of some Chinese people is abusive... Silver lining: not a drop of rain in 4 days and blue skies.

I couldn’t visit the villages in southern Yunnan because of rain and storms there... But I was expecting to see a few more tourists.

Hi everyone, I’m here to get some advice on visiting KRUGER Park. From what I’ve gathered through my reading, I understand there are two ways to visit the park: - Independently with your own vehicle => Do you drive all day? - By booking with a professional => Safari early in the morning and late in the afternoon. But what do you do in between?

When it comes to accommodations, the options are: - Booking in one of the park’s camps, where the lodging is basic but functional - Booking in a private reserve, which is more comfortable but prohibitively expensive - Booking outside the park, which means entering the park every morning. But if you want to stay for 3 days, that doesn’t seem practical to me. Do you have any advice for accommodations?

To be honest, I’m really struggling to understand how it all works... Thanks to everyone for your help. Bidule 27

Hi everyone who’s reading this!

I’m heading to Taiwan soon and would love some up-to-date info on Wi-Fi. From what I’ve gathered, Taiwan offers it for free, but I’ve heard it’s not secure since it’s not protected by a "password." Since I’ve been traveling outside the EU for years without a local SIM card, I only use Wi-Fi in hotels, restaurants, and cafés. For me, that’s more than enough. So, my question is: Do these places secure their Wi-Fi with a "password"? If not, does buying a SIM card or eSIM seem like the only alternative?

Also, if any of you have recommendations for budget-friendly hotels in the main "cities," I’d love to hear them!

Thanks in advance for your replies! !

Hi fellow travelers, We’re planning our first trip to Iceland. We’re considering renting a 4x4 where we could sleep from time to time. My question is: What’s the current regulation in Iceland? Which areas allow sleeping in your vehicle, and where is it prohibited (requiring you to stay in campgrounds)? In June, is it possible to find spots without having booked in advance? Sergio

Hi everyone, here’s a little trip report from San José del Guaviare, in the Guaviare department of Colombia.

First, the journey: an overnight bus from Bogotá. The bus terminal is a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport (30,000 COP). The bus company that goes down to San José is Flota Macarena, located in sector 2 of the terminal. The bus terminal is big, with plenty of places to eat and lots of little shops. The bus seats are pretty small but manageable—comfortable enough. We left at 10:30 PM and arrived around 7:00 AM the next morning.

First thing to note: the center of San José, right by the river, is really dirty, noisy, and not very pleasant. We stayed at Hotel Malecon, by the river, where the Malecon promenade is supposed to be the nice spot to walk along the river. Well, no—it’s completely abandoned, with trash everywhere. The hotel itself is in what we nicknamed the "scrap metal district," since that’s pretty much all you see—scrap yards and garages. Not exactly pleasant and kind of sketchy at first glance. A room with AC and a balcony at Hotel Malecon costs 120,000 COP per night. For one night, it was fine since we hadn’t booked anything in advance. After that, we moved to an Airbnb in the neighborhood with the soccer stadium—a really nice and quiet area. The little tip here is that there’s a pool behind the stadium—8,000 COP to swim, and there’s a bar right across the street. Honestly, it’s great to have a place to cool off because it was *really* hot in San José.

Now, let’s talk about the main attraction here: the natural sites. We visited Puerta de Orión (free entry, but the guide—mandatory—costs 10,000 COP per person), the natural pools (15,000 COP entry), Balneario La Lindosa (5,000 COP to swim), and Las Delicias waterfall (10,000 COP)—that last one was our favorite. The sites are really cool, and I’d definitely recommend visiting them. It’s pure nature out there.

For accommodations, a lot of places are located outside San José, near the tourist sites. At first, we wanted to stay out there, but without a car, it’s a real hassle. So if you’re not driving, stick to San José.

Getting to all these sites by taxi costs around 30,000 COP one way, except for Las Delicias waterfall, which is farther away—70,000 COP one way. Taxis within the urban area of San José cost 6,000 COP. The bus from San José to Villavicencio with Flota Macarena costs 78,000 COP and takes between 5 and 6 hours.

To wrap up, our 5 days in San José were really great. We were pleasantly surprised by how friendly the people there are—it really stands out.

So if you’re looking for a spot that’s still off the mass-tourism radar, come here! It’s nice, and there are plenty of other sites we didn’t get to see.

Hi there, We’re planning a two-week hiking trip to Santo Antão. We’ve been before three years ago through an agency, but this time we want to organize the trip ourselves. Regarding homestays, especially places like ex Casa Luciano or Cha de Feijão at Dona Antona’s—is it possible to book ahead? I can’t find any contact details. If not, what happens if there’s no availability? Do we pay in euros or escudos? Also, is it possible to get meals and a packed lunch for the next day? We’re heading to Cha de Morte first, then want to visit the volcano, and continue toward the northeast of the island (we prefer the green areas!). Thanks for your tips! 😊

A scam from A to Z.

A scam from A to Z.

I just got off a 15-day cruise around Japan on the Norwegian Spirit. Never again!

Drink prices are exorbitant ($12 before tax for a beer, a 500ml bottle of water for $6.50 before tax!!!)

That’s $13 per liter of water before tax!!!!!

No entertainment at all.

Shows were really mediocre.

No dedicated space for kids.

Food was repetitive, way too salty, and just not good.

Port stops were too short, and some days at sea were way too long!

Time to disembark: over an hour, like in Korea (Icheon). On a 5-hour stop, that’s wasted time!!

Excursion prices ranged from $199 to $350 per person (for less than 6 hours on land!!!)

And to top it all off: after a case of food poisoning on board and a visit to the ship’s doctor (in the middle of the night due to feeling unwell and vomiting), we were charged $4,800 for medical exams!!

Yes, you read that right: $4,800!!!!!!

Just to clarify, the person was in consultation for about 2.5 hours... These fees were directly charged to our account since they force you to register a credit card at the start of the cruise!!

On top of that: service charges on board: $20 per person per day! That’s $1,680 before tax, of course!! We contested them, but they were still charged!!

Other unknown fees charged by mistake!! I had to open a dispute with my bank.

So go with MSC or Costa instead...

but avoid Norwegian—an unscrupulous company that takes advantage of vulnerable people.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to visit Monument Valley next Saturday after 3 days at the Grand Canyon. I saw on navajonationparks.org that some roads can be tricky during rainy periods. Is anyone there right now who could tell me what the road conditions are like in the park and whether it’s impassable with a regular rental car? Thanks so much in advance, Ruby

Hi everyone! I’m reaching out because we’re planning a trip to Thailand next year (around March/April), and we’d like to visit Chiang Mai and then Krabi, plus a few islands near Krabi. We’ve been to Thailand before, 10 years ago, and this time, we’d just like to focus on 5 days in Chiang Mai and 10–12 days in the Krabi area. I’ll admit, I’m really struggling to pick an island near Krabi. We hated Phi Phi: dirty, noisy, and the food was gross… such a letdown! Which island would you recommend for snorkeling, nature walks, and beautiful beaches? Maybe we could also make a stop between Chiang Mai and Krabi—perhaps Sukhothai? Is it easy to travel between these three cities? Thanks so much for your help! 🙂

Hi everyone, and thanks in advance for your help! I know this forum is really great, and I feel a bit awkward posting this request... I speak a little Polish, but not that well, especially when it comes to slang or colloquial speech... Someone said to me the other day: "kurwa ty kurwa". Of course, I know what the word "kurwa" means, but when someone is really angry, I’m not sure how to interpret this phrase. Could you please help me by giving the French equivalent? I’m really sorry for this somewhat unusual request, but it’s very important to me. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We’re planning a road trip on Route 66 in 2027 with our two kids, who’ll be 7 and 4 years old.

My husband would prefer to do it in an SUV, while I’d rather go in a camper van.

What are the pros and cons of each option?

Thanks for your input!

Hi there! I’m heading to Casablanca for 15 days in October 2025—what do you recommend? Rabat sounds interesting—what about Rabat? Fez? I’m also really into nature—what are the closest gorges? Is train travel easy? I’ll be staying with a friend but I’d love to explore solo. I’m 61, blonde with blue eyes—is that an issue? Thanks! Laurence from Bayonne

Hi, I’m looking for a tour of Reykjavik with a local from the cruise port at MSC Terminal in June for 4 people—a full city tour with explanations in French. Thanks

Hi there, We’re planning a trip in August 2025 with two kids (8 and 11 years old) in a camper van through the American West. Any tips for renting a van? (I’ve started looking, and it seems really expensive—August probably doesn’t help...) But it’ll still be cheaper and more nature-focused than motels... We’re considering this route: Salt Lake City - Great Salt Lake - Yellowstone - Grand Teton, then heading back down toward Lake Tahoe, Yosemite (Sequoia Park if we have time), and San Francisco. Do you think this is doable? Any suggestions for other sites to visit? Also, any recommendations for campgrounds in these areas? Thanks in advance!

What we commonly call "Halong Bay" is actually made up of three bays. From south to north:

- The small Lan Ha Bay, south and east of Cat Ba Island, inaccessible to large cruise junks because the channels aren’t deep enough for big boats—so it’s more intimate and, above all, cleaner;

- Halong Bay itself, north of Cat Ba, also very beautiful but crowded with tourists since it can accommodate large boats (up to 35 cabins), making it very dirty due to many Asian tourists—except for the Japanese—who throw everything into the water: cigarette butts, bags, empty cans, etc.; - The large Bai Tu Long Bay, north of Halong Bay, characterized by larger islands with beautiful beaches and fewer tourists since it ideally takes 3 days to explore all three bays. PRIORITIZE LAN HA BAY FOR 2 DAYS AND BAI TU LONG BAY FOR THREE. Some travelers want to visit the bay in just one day. Strongly discouraged ! In fact, you need to allow 7 to 8 hours for the round trip between Hanoi and the bay; adding boarding time, you’ll only spend a few hours on a boat and barely scratch the surface of the bay. Plus, one of the most magical moments of the cruise is waking up in the morning surrounded by limestone karsts. Two days/1 night on a junk is the minimum to enjoy the enchanting landscapes. AVOID cheap junks! There’s no secret: cheap = limited comfort, laughable food, and service that’s barely acceptable. Never forget this is a unique site in the world, so it’s worth visiting under the best conditions. Don’t confuse Halong Bay with the "terrestrial Halong Bay" in Ninh Binh (Tam Coc). The first is 110 km north of Hanoi, the second 100 km south, right in the Red River Delta. Both are magnificent, and it’s now possible to take a direct bus from one to the other. To visit the bays, you have two options: - Travel to Cat Ba Island or Halong City on your own and book a junk on-site. We don’t recommend this, as there are many issues—especially overcharging for foreign tourists in ground transport and shortened cruises, not to mention you don’t speak Vietnamese. You’ll end up paying at least the same price as through a Hanoi agency, likely more, since you’re at high risk of being ripped off. - Book an organized tour in Hanoi with a good agency. Given the complexity of traveling from Hanoi to Halong and renting a junk on-site, this is by far the easiest option, with countless possibilities—from private junks (more expensive but with huge advantages) to luxury, superior, and standard group junks. Benefits: with a good agency, you’ll have a hassle-free cruise with no scams, and everything is included in the price: round-trip transfers from your hotel to the boat, guide, junk, all meals, site entries, kayaking, etc.

When it comes to choosing a junk, there are also two options: A private junk is by far the best for many reasons: - You’re the only passengers on board - Smaller than group junks, a private junk can navigate channels inaccessible to large boats and stop at small beaches also off-limits to big vessels - Private junks can anchor wherever the captain chooses, so in a quiet little bay, whereas all large junks are required to spend the night in the same big bay by local police order - Better service and food Of course, these advantages come at a cost—but after all, Halong is a once-in-a-lifetime trip! For luxury private junks, I recommend Bhaya Cruises and Indochina Junks. For superior, one of the best is Oriental Sun (2 cabins/2 bathrooms), owned by the excellent agency Oriental Bridge Travel. Also excellent are the two Dai Duong junks—the 02 with 2 cabins and the 03 with 3.

Group junks range from Deluxe to Superior. Choose a medium-sized junk (8-12 cabins). Among the Deluxe, Bhaya Cruises and Indochina Junks are flawless. For Budget, the superior Swan, Cozy Boutique, and Ocean 7 are great.

Warning: While group junks can be booked once in Hanoi (except during peak season), private junks must be reserved well in advance, especially in high season.

To make your choice and booking easier, the best is to contact Oriental Bridge Travel, which, unlike other agencies that offer every junk imaginable (from the best to the worst), has carefully selected 2 or 3 in each category. Check their website and, in the menu, click all the "Halong" links from "Luxury Private Junks" to "Superior Group Junks."

TRANSPORT TO HALONG BAY

Cruise prices include round-trip transfers between Hanoi and Cat Ba City or Hon Gai. If you want to go to Halong on your own, there are three departure ports for cruises: Cat Ba Island (especially for Lan Ha Bay), Halong City/Bai Chay port (Lan Ha, Halong, and Bai Tu Long), and Cai Rong, which serves only Bai Tu Long Bay. From Hanoi: To Cat Ba, take the Hanoi-Haiphong bus and the Haiphong-Cat Ba speedboat (3-hour journey). This is the fastest option since the boat arrives directly in Cat Ba City. Buy a combined ticket for Hanoi-Haiphong + Haiphong-Cat Ba speedboat. For Halong City, there are frequent direct buses. From other cities: Direct buses from Haiphong or Cat Ba City to Ninh Binh and Sapa. WHERE TO STAY IN CAT BA? If you spend a night in Cat Ba (not essential), there are more and more hotels. Here are the ones I liked among those I’ve visited: 2-star: Cat Ba Dream Impeccable, with a large terrace overlooking Cat Ba Bay, and unbeatable prices: $15-20 for a single/double/twin, $30 for a large triple. The owner is a great cook. 3-star: Hung Long Harbour Brand new and spotless, overlooking Cat Ba Bay. Ask for rooms with a balcony (the suites have very large terraces). Great value for the quality! Single/double: Standard 65 $, Deluxe 80 $, Suite 100 $, extra person: 30 $ There are also several bungalow hotels on the beach: on Monkey Island (3 km from Cat Ba City), the Cat Ba Monkey Island Resort; another on a different island 5 km south of Cat Ba City, the Cat Ba Ocean Beach Resort; and a third, the Cat Ba Beach Resort. In the mountains inside the island, you can stay at the Cat Ba Suoi Goi Resort and the Cat Ba Whisper Bungalows. RESTAURANTS In Cat Ba City, I’ve tried quite a few restaurants—more bad than good. Two excellent floating restaurants in Cat Beo, especially the one on the left. WHAT TO DO? Beyond cruises, there are some interesting sites to visit on the island: · Visit the Cannon Fort: No one goes there, and everyone’s wrong! It’s not far, just behind Cat Ba City on Nui Ngoc Road, the street leading to Cat Beo. You climb to 177 m altitude at the top of a hill with a superb panoramic view of Halong and Lan An Bays. In 1942, the French installed an artillery fort with three 137 mm cannons controlling the passages in the bay; two remain, along with the casemates. It later became an anti-aircraft post during the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the last time I went, the road was blocked. Still worth a try—great views from the climb. Entry: 50,000 dong, and it’s worth it! · The national park: It covers three-quarters of the island. You can simply stroll or go trekking, especially the 15 km to Viet Hai village. No animals in sight. Just before the park entrance, visit the Viet Hospital, a series of caves remarkably set up as a hospital during the Vietnam War (there was even a natural pool and a cinema room). · The beaches (Cat Cô): The three beautiful beaches in coves at the southern end of Cat Ba City’s esplanade are taken—the first by a children’s water park and the other two by a huge hotel complex.

Hi there,

I'm still on the fence about heading to the American West next summer... I know it'll be crowded, but what's really making me hesitate is the heat. Is it bearable for hiking?

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi everyone,

We’ve been racking our brains for cool ideas/itineraries for our vacation since, whether due to tourist crowds or unsuitable weather in the destination country, summer options aren’t endless (especially since we’re always forced to take most of our vacation time in July/August)...

We thought about combining a short stretch of the U.S. East Coast with Montréal/Niagara Falls/Toronto. The lakes look really pretty, but we’re worried it might feel a bit too familiar, and time-wise, it could get tight (we’d rather not spend our whole trip on the road). Still, we’re also considering a road trip in Western Canada.

What do you think of the plan below? We can add two extra nights somewhere if needed.

Thanks so much in advance!

Have a great day!

Day 1: Arrival in Boston – Night in Boston Day 2: Boston – Night in Boston Day 3: Boston – Night in Boston Day 4: Cambridge / Harvard – Night in Boston Day 5: Salem – Night in Boston Day 6: Newport – Night in Newport Day 7: Newport – Night in Newport Day 8: Cape Cod – Night in Cape Cod Day 9: Cape Cod – Night in Cape Cod Day 10: Flight to Toronto from Boston – Night in Toronto Day 11: Niagara Falls – Night in Toronto Day 12: Toronto-Ottawa – Night in Ottawa Day 13: Parc Omega – Night in Montréal Day 14: Montréal – Night in Montréal Day 15: Montréal – Night in Montréal Day 16: Montréal – Night in Montréal Day 17: Montréal – Night in Montréal

Bonjour, Nous souhaiterions aller à l'un des Center Parcs ou Village Nature Paris pendant les vacances de Toussaint. Quand je vois les avis sur TripAdvisor, je prends peur..... J'aurais donc aimé avoir des avis objectifs de séjours récents, pour m'aider à me décider.... Nous sommes un couple avec 2 enfants de 9 et 5 ans. merci à tous, Bonne journée. Alice

Si vous avez pour habitude de voyager avec votre animal de compagnie, attention !! J'ai réservé un aller-retour pour la Corse le 5 juillet, mon chien faisant parti du voyage, il avait son billet aller. Sauf que la conseillère a oublié de me préciser que mon chien ne pourrait revenir avc moi car mon vol retour comporte une escale... Mesure prise en raison du covid les animaux de compagnie ne sont plus admis sur les vols avec escale.... Mon chien est donc coincé en Corse sauf si je modifie mon retour en vol direct... Ce qui est possible pour la modique somme de 330€ par personne, nous sommes 3 voyageurs... Pas mal comme petit extra vacances... Air France s'en tire plutôt bien, - mauvais conseil lors de la vente. - injoignable en juillet si on veut avoir affaire à une conseillère humaine et non virtuelle... Mais c'est au voyageur de payer la note bien salée... Quant à l'animal, aucune considération !! Choquée par cette politique de " c'est pas notre problème" je vous invite à bien vous renseigner sur les conditions de voyage de nos amis les bêtes !!! Sandrine Cesari

Bonjour Je vais en Autriche avec ma voiture du 1 au 16 août. Etant donné les risques de fermetures de frontières je préfère l'acheter sur place. J'arriverai par Udine en Italie. Où puis je acheter cette vignette ? est ce possible sur l'autoroute , vaut il mieux prendre la route et trouver un tabac ou une poste ?

Bonjour,

Tout est (presque) dans le titre.

Nous allons à 2 personnes en Islande au mois d'août. Nous souhaitons louer un camper van pour nous déplacer et dormir.

J'ai lu qu'en été il n'était pas forcément nécessaire d'avoir un 4x4 (sauf si on va dans les routes F ?).

J'aurais aimé avoir votre avis, sachant que les 4x4 sont autrement plus chers (2 à 3x plus cher).

Merci !

Osaka, la 3ème plus grande ville du Japon est, à tord, délaissée par les touristes. Tout m’étonne et me stupéfie ! Tous les clichés « carte postale » du Japon sont au rendez-vous sous mes yeux et me donnent envie de flâner ! Je m’aperçois vite que je vais trouver mon bonheur dans cette ville. Architecture moderne, temples de la consommation, empires du jeu, lieux et marchés traditionnels, petites ruelles d’un autre temps, population détendue et souriante, gastronomie qui vous donne envie de tout goûter… Tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour me donner envie d’y revenir plus longtemps une prochaine fois !

Hello,

J'ai commencé à bosser sur 2 itinéraires pour la Toussaint 2021 (Environ du 07 au 31 octobre 2021, arrivée en France le 1/11).

Idéalement, je voudrais reprendre mon parcours annulé de juin 2020 (Dans les grandes lignes, arrivée à Seattle, Olympic NP > Glacier NP > Yellowstone NP > Black Hills > Badlands NP > Minneapolis).

Toutefois, en suivant celui-ci, j'arrive à Glacier le 18 octobre, Yellowstone entre le 21 et 24 octobre et les Black Hills le 28 octobre. J'ai pris l'option de faire le chemin en sens inverse, modifiant quelques étapes et j'arriverais dans mon 1er jet aux Black hills le 10 octobre, Yellowstone du 14 au 17 octobre et Glacier NP le 19 octobre. Cela me fait arriver plus tard sur la côte Pacifique mais je prends moins de risque pour la neige.

Pensez-vous qu'il soit inconscient d'organiser YS et Glacier à cette période? Yellowstone me semble encore plausible, les routes ne fermant (sauf une qui est déjà fermé cet été) que début novembre. Glacier est plus un point d'interrogation.

L'autre hypothèse est une région que nous n'avons jamais arpenté: Le Nord Est.

J'ai commencé à étudier dans les grandes lignes quelque chose qui ferait: Toronto > ?? > Boston > Salem > ?? > Acadia NP > Quebec > Montréal mais cela est complètement au stade de l'ébauche.

L'avantage à cette période est de pouvoir profiter du côté un peu kitch de Salem à cette période. Toutefois, bien que cela soit encore l'été indien, j'ai peur des températures et de la pluviométrie.... ce qui est assez stupide car on est sur les même latitudes que de l'autre côté.

Qu'en pensez vous?

Ps: Si vous avez des idées pour compléter le 2ème parcours, surtout la partie Québec ou Nouveau-Brunswick , je suis preneur!

bonjour à tous

Je désire faire l'acquisition d'une jonque 12/14m au Vietnam. La baie d'Halong me semble le bon endroit pour ce type de bateau (?) Pour naviguer dans ce bassin vietnam/philippines/indonésie le précèdent post datant de 2008 donne quelques précieuses indications mais j'aurais voulu une mise à jour

connaissez vous la législation pour un étranger (immat, sortie des eaux territ ...) ? et/ou tous bons contacts/infos bienvenus !

pouvez vous m'aider ?

Bonjour, Dans cette période de crise Air France annonce la possibilité de changer sa résa sans frais. Mais attention, ça ne signifie pas qu'il n'y aura pas de coût. Je voulais avancer mon retour Cancun Paris prévu le 6 avril. Coût du changement de date = 809 EUR soit plus cher que le prix du billet. J'ai essayé à des dates différentes et le résultat est identique.. Très généreux AF

bonjour je ne suis jamais allée sur cette ile je cherche un endroit plage mais pas isolé je ne peux pas faire de moto je suis a pieds merci Fanfancom

Bonjour à tous,

ca y est c'est décidé, après avoir lu beaucoup de carnets de voyages, nous irons en Croatie cette année avec nos deux loulous de 10 ans ! 😎

C'est une destination particulière pour nous car nous avions parcouru les côtes croates en 2002, avec 14 copains sur deux voiliers monocoques et nous en gardons un souvenir exceptionnel : les kornati bien sûr mais aussi Vis et Korcula.

Bon nos copains skipper sont loin, peu importe : ca va être l'occasion de découvrir d'autres parties du pays et faire découvrir ce pays aux enfants (bon on a bien compris que notre petit coin de paradis a gagné en popularité depuis 17 ans et qu'on se sentira moins seuls 😛

Bon je m'égare. Nous allons donc partir avec notre voiture depuis le Var (où habitent mes parents), faire une pause en Italie sur le trajet et donc passer environ 10 jours en croatie.

Nos envies :

les enfants sont fans d'eau douce ou salée (ils tiennent de leur papa) et on rêve donc de petites criques à l'eau transparente ou de rivières bondissantes. J'ai lu qu'il y a des pontons partout, c'est top car les enfants passent leur temps à sauter dans l'eau quand ils en ont l'occasion (on revient du Yucatan et ils n'ont pas arrêté dans les cénotes, mais c'est une autre histoire) ; peu de villes ou monuments, c'est pas notre activité préférée. En particulier on ne retournera pas à Split et Dubrovnik qu'on a parcouru il y a 15 ans, une île bien sûr, mais laquelle ? en faire le tour et accéder à des petites criques pour sauter de rocher, voire même louer un petit bateau à moteur (si j'arrive à convaincre mon épouse) pour explorer en solitaire. Sinon pourquoi pas une petite expédition.

Notre projet de trajet :

comme on n'ira pas à Split et Dubrovnik on se dit qu'on a le temps de faire une pause en Istrie, un arrêt autour de Zadar (pour Krka notamment) et de se pauser un peu sur une île.

Voila l'Etat de nos réflexions (quelques questions à la fin si l'un de vous peut nous donner son avis) :

lundi 27 juillet- trajet Vidauban / Vérone (ou alentours) : 6H30. 1 nuit à Vérone

mardi 28 juillet - trajet Vérone / Plitvice 5H45. 1 nuit à Plitivitce

Voici les quelques question que je me pose :

Quelle île choisir sur les kornati pour passer 3 nuits et 2 jours pleins ? notre envie : de petites criques et pouvoir faire une excursion ou une sortie bateau moteur en indépendant. L’ile de Vis est elle préférable pour ce type d'envie ? (les nuités ont cependant l'ai d'être plus chères ?)

Vaut il mieux dormir sur Sibenik ou Zadar (ou autre) pour rayonner sur krka et la rivière zrmanja qui sont nos deux incontournables côté expérience rivière ?

aller marcher dans le parc Paklenica va t il intéresser des garçons de 10 ans et pas être trop physique (existe il des baignades ?) ?

Voyez vous d’autres lieux incontournables pour nous sur le trajet (points d’eau ou nature) ?

Merci infiniment pour tout ceux qui auront pris le temps de lire ce trop long pavé. Et encore plus pour vos retours ; ca me permettra de venir présenter à mon épouse un parcours au top, super alléchant 😊.

bonsoir, fin juillet début août nous allons voyager à 11(nous partons en familles, 5 adultes, 2 ados et 4 enfants). Nous ferons 2 semaines à Montréal et nous projetons une excursion de 2 jours à New York. Nous avons déjà réservé les véhicules. Ma question concerne l'hébergement à New York, nous trouvons des hôtels mais concernant les parkings, ce n'est pas très clair ! Si vous avez des bons plans à me conseiller... un parking à l'extérieur ? un parking public ? bref, je suis preneuse de toutes vos expériences. merci
