Le bus: un voyage a lui tout seul! Bulgarie English translation pending
"hey stef qu'est ce qu'on fait, on y va apres les cours???ouais ok tu passes chez moi est on va a la gare routiere"
On n'en parlait depuis l'annee derniere mais c'est decidé on ira en bulgarie a la toussain, en bus, tout le monde nous prend pour des fous, mais le probleme s'est qu'on est des fous!!!!!!!!!😎
24/10/2003: "putain c'est pire que la SNCF 45 minutes de retard" 12h45 "ahhhhhhhh enfin là, bise mon amour et a dans 10 jours si je meurs pas en route😛" (Malheureusement je n'ai pas du toucher du bois a ce moment là!!) Pas grand monde dans le bus, on doit etre une dizaine tous a l'avant, des gitans dont le visa gratuit de trois mois expire et donc sont obligés de rentrer au pays ainsi que des etudiants rentrant aussi aux pays. C'est parti pour 30 heures de bus et 5 pays a traverser.
Tout se passe bien, un arret d'une heure sur nice, le temps de boire un petit café et c'est reparti sur milan. Siege confortable, espacé, on se croirait dans la classe affaire d'air france!!!.
17h30 frontiere franco italienne avec sa belle autoroute, tres dangereuse car n'ayant pas de bande d'arret d'urgence avec ces milliers de pont et de tunnels sur pres de 300 km, toute a coups 100km apres avoir traversée la frontiere le car ralenti, et s'arrete totalement sur la voie de droite (car pas de bande d'arret d'urgence): "merde on est en panne" oui mais panne d'essence, j'en crois pas mes yeux, on est en panne d'essence, depuis que j'utilise le bus c'est la premiere fois que cela m'arrive!!! Les chauffeurs pas affolés du tout, sortent du bus, prennent un gericane de 5 l d'essence et le verse dans le réservoir et op on repart jusqu'a la prochaine aire de repos.
19h00: Les gens roulent vitent, surtout les italiens, nous aussi on roule tres vite, le temps passe tranquilement je me lis un bon SAS sur la serbie histoire de passer un peu le temps. Tout a coups dans un virage on aperçoit une voiture en travers de la route, le bus commence a piler, on touche personne, une voiture passe a coté de nous et par chance ne touche personne non plus, par reflexe je pose mes bras sur le siege avant et les tend de toutes mes forces au cas ou quelqu'un viendrait nous percuter. 2 seconds apres un camoin nous tape de plein fouet dernier nous, je tourne la tete et je vois le chauffeur je trimbaler comme un pantin, comme un con je cris "il est mort", il ne bougait plus, la moitier de sa cabine est encastrée dans l'arriere de notre bus, auquelle il manque tout l'arriere et son moteur est parterre. Pas d'affolement dans le bus, de tout façon on peut pas sortir car les portent sont bloquées par le rail de sécurité, aucun blessé dans le car, et on entend a l'arriere des voitures qui s'encastrent encore. 10 minutes sont passés ma mere m'appelle pour venir aux nouvelles, elle prend, sur la nouvelle 10 ans de vieux dans la tête, on casse une vitre et on commence a sortir. Les sercours sont la, ils ferment l'autoroute totalement, dans les 2 sens. Sur la macadam c'est l'apocalypse des voitures encastrées les unes contre les autres, on s'occupe du chauffeur de camion, a coups de scie pour enlever le tableau de bord, il parle, ouf, mais bon il a ete sectionné au niveau des jambes, cela a ete un choc psychologique, chaques fois que je vois un accident je me rappelle de ce mec. 4heures apres la route est degagé, on est sur le coté, un autre car qui etait dans l'embouteillage recupere quelques personnes mais la plupart du monde attend, dont mon pote et moi, sur le bord de la route. La croix rouge arrive, il fait pas loin de 4 degres, il distribue des couvertures de survie et des gateaux. Un autre bus arrive, il va sur munich mais nous depose a milan, il est 23h30 et je m'endors jusqu'a milan.
1h30: On arrive a milan, des bus d'intercars sont la ils nous attendent, on a le choix entre un bus pour zagreb ou un bus pour bucarest mais qui fera un detour sur zagreb pour nous. Il reste 3 places dans ce dernier, aller on est go, 2 places a l'arriere, c'est pire que le cirque bouglione, mais cela ne m'empeche pas de m'endormir...
25/10/2003 "waouh on est en laponie????non juju on arrive en autriche" La neige vient juste de s'arreter de tomber, tout est blanc, on se croirait voler
!!!!!!!!!!La frontiere avec la slovenie approche:7h00.
8h00 frontiere slovenienne: autre probleme: on ne peut rentrer en territoire slovenne, des gens dans le bus avait ete expulsés de slovenie et donc ne peuvent entrer sur le territoire. On attend deux heures, un autre bus arrive, tous les passagers pour sofia sont priés de descendre. On monte dans l'autre bus, pendant ce temps le bus de bucarest reprend son itineraire normal. Malheureusement le bus ne peut rouler a l'internationnal, on nous signal qu'un autre bus arrive pour nous recuperer.
15h30 apres 7h d'attente on repart, on a juste un retard de 10 heures, on arive a zagreb vers les 20h00 pour recuperer les autres passagers laissés à milan et qui nous sont attendus pendant 7 heures.
21h00 je me suis caller au fond avec mon pote, c'est mieux pour dormir, juste devant moi, une jeune fille, 18 ans, avec un gitan a coté, celui ci donne 30 euros et op elle est a lui pendant tout le reste du trajet, mon pote bulgare est degouté, comme la plupart des bulgares il n'aime pas les gitans. Devant ce spectacle je prefere m'endormir!!

Pourquoi voyager?! English translation pending
Bonjour a tous et toutes!!!!
Amoureux du voyage? Amoureux de le bourlingue, amoureux de la terre, amoureux d'ailleurs...
Une question m'est venu en répondant a un autre poste. Je pense que jamais elle n'a été posé ici.
Pourquoi voyager vous?
La réponse est facile me direz-vous: pour DECOUVRIR.
Mais ma question va plus loin que ca, qu'est ce qui vous pousse a repartir encore et encore, pourquoi toujours partir plus loin, plus souvent, plus longtemps?
Pourquoi ce couper de ses etres qui nous aiment et nous chérissent pour aller se perdre au fin fond de la jungle et manger des trucs a l'odeur, couleur et gout bizarre? en revenir le coeur a l'envers, la tete ailleur avec l'impression que personne nous comprend et repartir pour trouver des gens qui nous comprennent?
Est ce que vous voyagez pour fuir quelque chose? Pour trouver quelque chose? Pour oublier?
A vos plumes les amis, et bonne chance .....😉

Situation au Népal (octobre 2003) English translation pending
qques mots de l'evolution de la situation au nepal.....
c'est toujours une periode d'affrontement entre les maoistes et l'etat, tous les jours il y a des nouveaux morts en premiere page des journaux
mais pas de probleme majeur pour les touristes, en dehors des rallongement des dure de trajet en car a cause des nombreux chek-point
pas de nouveaux jours de greve totale depuis ceux du 19-20-21 septembre, rien de prevu pour les jours a venir
pas de nouveaux couvre-feux depuis le 22 septembre, rien de prevu pour les jours a venir
sinon, les trekkeurs se font gentillement racketter par les maoistes sur le trek du manaslu, et autour de Poon-Hill pres de Pokhara, sur le chemin qui relie le trek du sanctuaire et le trek du tour des annapurna
pas de region nouvellement interdite au tourisme
derniere info, le tour des annapura n'est plus praticable apres des glissements de terrain ayant bloquee le chemin...mais c'est une question de jours ou de semaine pour nous reparer tout ca
bye, namaste

New adventures from Perpignan to Ranchi (Jharkhand)
March 2nd — Departure by bus from Latour at 6:50 AM. The journey isn’t direct: we pass through Elne then Corneilla. In Perpignan, I switch to a BlablaBus heading to Barcelona’s northern bus station. Before reaching Le Perthus, French police stop us to check IDs. Several people aren’t in order, but after about fifteen minutes, we’re on our way again. We’re checked again at La Jonquera: this time, the wait lasts almost forty-five minutes while police identify those in violation and wait for a vehicle to pick them up. The driver then tries to make up for lost time; we finally arrive at our destination half an hour late.
I quickly head to the Arc de Triomphe metro station, located 200 meters away: you have to cross the bridge along the bus parking lot, then walk through a large garden; the station is on the right before the garden entrance. The trip to the airport isn’t direct: I have to change at Tomasso and take the line to the airport, where I arrive at 1 PM.
At the Emirates counter, I learn my flight was just canceled due to the war in Iran; they offer me another flight for the next day. I have to wait at the airport until 7 PM before being taken to a hotel; the next morning, I’ll take a flight to Vienna (with an 8-hour layover), then an Air India flight to Delhi, and finally a flight to Kolkata. I agree: I don’t know Vienna, so it’ll be an unexpected discovery.
At 7 PM, a small group is taken to the hotel, 35 minutes from the airport, where we’re served a light dinner upon arrival.
March 3rd — A taxi picks me up at 6:30 AM; the flight to Vienna takes off at 9:30 AM and arrives at noon. I’m free until 7 PM; the metro is direct to the city center. The weather is pleasant and not too cold, luckily, since my clothes are light.
When I exit the metro, I spot the St. Stephen’s Cathedral tower in the distance and approach it: the roof, made of glazed tiles, is remarkable.

Entry is free, and the interior, a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles in the center, is stunning.

Not far from there is St. Anne’s Church

, also Baroque, adorned with beautiful frescoes

—a music concert adds an enchanting atmosphere to the visit. I continue my walk at random through the pedestrian streets lined with magnificent buildings: I’m charmed by the city.



Before heading back to the airport, I stop at a lovely tea salon. My flight will eventually leave with a delay.
Wednesday, March 4th — Delhi and a little luggage scare We arrive in Delhi shortly after noon. Immigration is quick, and good news: my bag was checked through from Barcelona to Kolkata. I head to the connecting terminal and arrive half an hour before boarding: the flight goes smoothly. Upon arrival, the luggage comes out quickly… except mine. After filing a report, I’m told my bag is in Delhi—I have to retrieve it before taking another flight. I didn’t know (or had forgotten): with the delays, I wouldn’t have had time to pick it up and make the connection.
I take a taxi to the Ichamati Hotel. The welcome is warm, and the room is clean but very small. Without my bag, I feel a bit lost—I have nothing to change into.
Tonight, I’m dining with Raja and his friends at a beautiful restaurant, an old colonial house turned into a hotel.


We’re happy to see each other and have a comforting evening together.

We’re happy to see each other and have a comforting evening together.
Review of the CFC "Pearls of the Baltic" cruise June 2026
Hello,
We’re back from this cruise.
Boarding in Dunkirk: The doors opened around 12 PM. Since we were a bit early, I asked if my husband, who uses a walker, could wait inside instead of outside. I left him with the two suitcases and our two backpacks in the small hall while I parked the car in the reserved CFC parking lot for 10 € per day.
The shuttle that was supposed to take people from the parking lot to the model pavilion was supposed to arrive in 5 minutes, but after 15 minutes, nothing. After waiting 15 minutes, I saw a man walking and asked if I could follow him. In 15 minutes, we arrived, and still no sign of the shuttle—it must have passed us. Arrived at the model pavilion.
My husband had already checked in the suitcases with the help of a CFC staff member. The remaining formalities were completed quickly. We were on board by 12:15 PM. Headed to the buffet on deck 11 and waited in a lounge to access our cabin.
At 2 PM, we discovered our balcony cabin on deck 9 at the rear: spacious with a large balcony compared to MSC/COSTA.
Since we were at the rear, cabin 9202, there was always an issue with elevator number 4: "priority."
Elevator number 2 stops at deck 10... and elevator number 3 was often out of order, leaving only number 1 for those with mobility issues to reach the buffet, especially for people who struggle with stairs. Note: only one child on board and lots of "gray hair."
DAY 2: At sea. Lots of activities offered.
Day 3: GOTHENBURG (Sweden). Sunny, 19°C at 11 AM.
Excursion booked with CFC: Gothenburg and Haga for all.
Interesting visit with a great guide. The HAGA district, in our opinion, is full of cobblestones and nothing special, not suitable for people using a cane or wheelchair. Elevator number 3 was out of order again.
Day 4: Copenhagen. 15°C in the morning, showers in the afternoon.
We didn’t book an excursion since we’d already stopped here with CFC in 2025, and based on advice from this forum, we took the hop-on/hop-off bus right in front of the ship. I still went to see the Little Mermaid again.
No TV, but the elevator was fixed.
DAY 5: At sea. Still no TV.
DAY 6: GDANSK (Poland). 15°C, rain all day.
There’s a shuttle to get to the city center.
We took the excursion: Panorama of Gdansk.
The guide left us at the entrance of the city center for 45 minutes, telling us what to visit. Meet-up for the rest of the tour at 3 PM. The bus left at 3:15 PM to cover 10 km to see St. Mary’s Cathedral. We arrived at 4:16 PM... The guide said there are often traffic jams in that direction. We had 10 minutes on site before heading to see the lighthouse and the Westerplatte monument, where we also had 10 minutes.
Many of us wondered why we didn’t do the tour in the opposite direction since they knew there would be traffic...
I went to reception to complain about the organization. The staff member read me the program: we were supposed to start with the lighthouse, then go to the cathedral and stay for 30 minutes before heading to the center of Gdansk for a short guided walk with some free time to buy souvenirs, etc.
The guide did the complete opposite of what was planned and didn’t even give us a guided tour—just dropped us off in the city...
DAY 7: Bornholm Island (Denmark). 14°C, a few sunny spells.
We saw in the excursions that there was a walking tour of RØNNE. So, like many others, we explored on our own. There was a small orchestra welcoming us at the port and two people with city maps. We took the shuttle to leave the port—it ran every 15 minutes. The tourist office was next to the "shuttle bus." A pleasant visit at our own pace.
DAY 8: KIEL (Germany). 18–23°C, nice weather.
We took the "Kiel for all" excursion. Great guide and interesting visits.
The port is in the city, and in 10 minutes, we were in the city center by following a blue line on the ground from the port. Elevator 3 was stuck again... and the TV was back.
DAY 9: At sea. Elevator 3 works.
DAY 10: At sea. Elevator 3 is out of order again...
DAY 11: Disembarkation in Dunkirk.
Cabins had to be vacated by 7:30 AM. Buffet open until 9 AM.
Elevator number 1 was "reserved," leaving only number 2, which doesn’t go up to deck 11... a problem for people with mobility issues who had to cross the entire deck 11 and try to use one of the four working elevators at the front, which were crowded.
My opinion: Interesting stops.
The onboard staff were always welcoming, smiling, and mostly French-speaking.
Evening shows were better than in March/April 2025—better singers, dancers, and presenters, and the costumes were improved.
I liked the "magician" shows less.
There were three onboard lectures by a very cultured person, but they went off-topic and were too historical for my taste. I didn’t attend the other two; my husband went to the second but not the third.
For this cruise, there was a bridge theme, but we’re not players or interested.
We didn’t take a drink package on board—water, coffee, tea, and herbal teas were available.
We had a water leak in our cabin the night before disembarkation. We reported it, and after the technical staff came (with a translator who didn’t speak English), we were asked to leave the cabin for a while for repairs. We went to a lounge, and after 1.5 hours, I checked in at reception. The repair took longer than expected... we had to change cabins... not ideal the night before disembarkation. No balcony cabins were available, so we got an ocean-view cabin, 6075, with a bathtub (impossible for both of us to use). We packed our suitcases, took a shower in our cabin, and moved to the new one. Noise from chairs until 12:30 AM because the cabin was under a lounge, and constant ventilation noise in the hallway... sleep was hard to come by. Disembarkation: Well organized. We were helped with transporting the two suitcases and bags to the waiting room while I took the shuttle to get the car. Guylène

Getting from Kratie to Kampong Thom
Hi there,
We’ll be arriving in Phnom Penh this coming January and we’re thinking of starting our trip with a stop in Kampong Cham, then Kratie.
After Kratie, we’re considering heading toward Siem Reap with a stop in Kampong Thom.
That said, I’m not really sure how long the Kratie–Kampong Thom journey might take or how complicated it is.
Does this stop on the way to Siem Reap seem like a good idea to you? If we don’t visit the Sambor Prei Kuk site, are there still any walks or sights worth checking out in Kampong Thom?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Light itinerary for a first family trip to Malaysia with kids in summer 2027?
Hi there,
I’m planning a family trip (my wife and I, both 47, and our two sons, aged 5 and 12) to Malaysia for the last week of June and the first two weeks of July 2027.
We used to love road trips as a couple, then as a trio, but since our second child arrived, we’ve taken a break with "camping village" style trips.
Now feels like the right time to get back to our old habits, while adjusting the pace for the kids.
We’re craving Asia. We’ve been lucky enough to visit Thailand, Indonesia (Bali and Lombok), and Sri Lanka before.
Friends have raved about Malaysia, so we’re definitely tempted.
For those who know and love Malaysia, what would be a good itinerary starting from Kuala Lumpur, with a maximum of 3-4 stops? We’d like a mix of culture, nature, and relaxation (just to clarify, we’re not big beach fans). All of this without rushing, of course.
Thanks in advance for your tips!

40 days in Argentina and Uruguay: any recommendations?
Hi everyone,
We’re planning 40 days in Uruguay and Argentina in February and March, trying to avoid as much rain as possible.
We’re thinking of starting in Buenos Aires, then heading to Bariloche, and from there flying to Córdoba, Mendoza, or Salta. Maybe by bus or renting a car to explore each region.
Do you have any suggestions or tips for us? We love picturesque, historic cities and landscapes. As seasoned travelers, we’re used to planning our trips ourselves.
Thanks in advance!
Review of MSC ORCHESTRA cruise
Hello,
We just returned from a cruise from 08/13/26 to 08/20/26 on the MSC ORCHESTRA with stops in Tarragona, Valencia, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Genoa, and back to Marseille. The ship was fully booked. Deck chairs were already occupied by beach towels early in the morning, and there were only 1 or 2 people in the pools... However, on the day the Italians disembarked, there were very few towels on the deck chairs. We found the Italians less talkative.
We had a balcony cabin on deck 9, starboard side. The cabin was spacious, but the sofa was facing the desk, making it a pain to watch TV (neck strain guaranteed). So, we changed the sofa’s orientation to face the TV (we put it back in place on disembarkation day). There were 325 French speakers on board, and a lot of staff from Mauritius, which made communication easier.
No annoying announcements about bingo, etc.—a nice change from COSTA.
For dinner, we were at the first sitting at 7:45 PM, at a table for 6. On the first night, we were two "gray-haired" couples at the table. The second night, two young women joined us but asked to change tables after seeing us... The show for our dinner time was at 10:15 PM and ended around 11:00 PM. We found that a bit late for us. The shows were varied and of good quality. The restaurant menus offered plenty of choices, but at the buffet at lunchtime, there were a lot of dishes with quite a few carbs. Afternoon tea from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM included some great pastries, among other things.
We had an issue with the air conditioning and bad odors in the cabin one afternoon. I reported the problem to the reception, and staff along with our cabin steward came to check the cabin. The issue was resolved that same afternoon. Two days later, we were surprised to find a bag with items inside: 2 MSC mugs and 2 MSC thermos flasks that keep drinks hot or cold for 10 hours. It was a gift from customer service following the bad odors in our cabin. We weren’t expecting this at all and thanked MSC’s customer service.
For excursions, MSC always offers port-to-city-center transfers for 14 € per adult in Valencia and Tarragona, and 12 € per child. In Livorno, it was 10 € per adult and 7 € per child. In Civitavecchia, there was a shuttle to the train station for 6 €. On the MSC for Me app, there were "promotions" on certain excursions. We really enjoyed this cruise, but we couldn’t revisit some stops (Tarragona and Valencia) on our own because it was too hot. Great evening: Mum49

Kyushu off the beaten path: itinerary feedback
Hi there,
This isn’t my first trip, but it’s still tough to make choices, so I’m open to outside perspectives. This time, the plan is southern Kyushu with a slightly more off-the-beaten-path twist. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to help since I’m skipping some of the classics in Kyushu, but you never know. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this itinerary is realistic in terms of time spent in each place, travel time, and the overall pace of the road trip. Just to note, I already have my translated driver’s license.
Here’s the itinerary: - **Day 1:** YAMAGA / overnight in Yamaga or Kumamoto Depart from Osaka by train early in the morning to Kumamoto, pick up the rental car, then drive to Yamaga for a visit. Overnight in Yamaga or Kumamoto.
- **Days 2–4:** HITOYOSHI / overnight in Hitoyoshi Drive to Hitoyoshi for 3 days and 3 nights, including a visit to the town, nearby waterfalls, a walk along the Kuma River, a tea producer visit, and some craft activities.
- **Day 5:** AYA / overnight in Miyazaki Drive to Aya, visit the town, craft activities, the forest, and the suspension bridge.
- **Day 6:** AOSHIMA - NICHINAN COAST / overnight in Miyazaki Udo Shrine + Aoshima + scenic drive along the coast.
- **Day 7:** MIYAKONOJO / overnight in Shibushi Drive to a waterfall, then continue along the Nichinan Coast if there’s anything left to see, or visit Kojima Island.
- **Day 8:** SHIBUSHI Walk around the port and along the Osumi Peninsula coast, maybe as far as the Kishira/Hetsuka coast, or visit a black pork producer, a market gardener, or a tea producer. Overnight at a farm?
- **Day 9:** KANOYA / overnight in Kagoshima Visit Ogawara Waterfall, Nishiharadai Park, and Kannon Cave, then Sugawara Shrine, followed by the drive to Kagoshima.
- **Day 10:** KAGOSHIMA / overnight in Kagoshima Explore the city + whisky distillery in Hioki.
- **Days 11–12:** KOSHIKISHIMA / 2 nights in Koshikishima
- **Day 13:** AKUNE OSHIMA / overnight in Akune Ferry, then drive to Akune Oshima with a stop at Sendai Taki.
- **Days 14–15:** AMAKUSA / overnight in Amakusa Drive via Nagashima and visit Shimoshima (Amakusa).
- **Day 16:** AMAKUSA / overnight in Fukuoka Drive back toward Kumamoto with stops along the way, return the rental car, then take the train to Fukuoka.
- **Days 17–18:** FUKUOKA CITY / overnight in Fukuoka Possible half-day excursion to Nokonoshima, Munakata, or Nanzoin.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Too ambitious? I could add an extra day but would prefer not to if it means less rushing around.
Thanks!
