Instead of paying to go in and support a sport I do not wish to, we enjoyed the view from the fourth-floor rooftop of the Catalonia Ronda Hotel, which overlooks the entire ring and offers stunning countryside vistas.

I spent two days exploring Varese while I was house sitting nearby and taking care of two adorable rabbits. It quickly became one of my ooh I could live here towns.

Although many places in the touristy areas accept credit cards, cash is still king in Uzbekistan. If you want to exchange money, bring clean notes. Nobody wanted my dirty ten-dollar note from my New York trip!

The chapel trail at Sacro Monte di Varese is a beautiful uphill pilgrimage route lined with 14 ornate chapels, and is a lovely, peaceful forest walk. Although it's much easier as a downhill walk :)

While house sitting in Salerno, I visited the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Vietri sul Mare.
Worth the walk up through town to see it up close.

My house-sit in Týniště nad Orlicà was only twenty minutes from Hradec Králové, so I rolled in mid-morning, eager to explore.

No NC500 road trip feels quite complete without a stop at John O’Groats, one of the most famous points on the route. And the locals are friendly too, as long as you have carrots!

Stavanger is easy to get around on foot, has a delightful mix of old wooden houses, colourful streets, fjord views, and a few surprises, like a big street art scene and even a museum about canning sardines!

Olomouc’s main square, the Upper Square (HornĂ námÄ›stĂ), is all about the Holy Trinity Column—a UNESCO gem—but it was under scaffolding. At least the town hall was shining in the sun!
