I visited Western Sweden as part of my Scandinavian road trip. We didn’t research or plan for this day, but just landed where the car led us. We were lead to ancient ruins and drawings, mysterious monoliths and medieval towns. This area has history from as far back as the bronze age. Historical markers are indicated with square daisy signs and we spent our time randomly visiting as many as we could fit into our day. We started driving from Gothenberg, Sweden and slept in Oslo, Norway. Here is some of the interesting things we saw along the way and a map to get you oriented.

I’ve driven on the Isle of Skye. We hired a Mercedes from Avis Prestige – a lovely car, but I was hoping for a Jag like the previous year – and set off from Fort William to Dunnet Head, the most northerly part of the British mainland. We may have spent a little too long at Eilean Donan, the glorious and much-photographed castle a little further south, and I was contemplating the chances of our arrival at the night’s accommodation before dusk. http://athousandflights.com/skyedriver/
“The 4th Arrondissement of Paris is maybe our favorite district of Paris: full of history, nightlife and shops, this is the kind of place where you can never get bored. One of the liveliest neighborhoods of the city, the fourth arrondissement contains the Hôtel de Ville (Paris’ town hall), Ile de Saint Louis, the Eastern part of Ile de la Cité and it is also the home of le Marais (3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris).”
Kerri of Beer and Croissants describes three weeks touring France in a motorhome. Her amazing photographs of quaint villages, chateaux, green countryside, tranquil rivers, and spectacular surf beaches summon up a desire to do the same.
I'm planning a French road trip next year. It will be my fifth, believe it or not, though only a few days; nothing compared to Kerri's epic adventures. Still, there's a lot to be said for pootling along French backroads, stopping in for lunch or coffee when an opportune moment appears. France is full of history, delicious food, great wine, and some wonderful scenery. http://athousandflights.com/french-roaming/“As you might already know I am back from Bali and unlike our last trip, this time we rented a self-drive car in Bali for just 300000 IDR ( 1450 INR ) per day and went crazy exploring offbeat places in Bali. We were in Bali for 5 days. Over the five days, we did everything we could — chasing waterfalls, stumbling upon lesser known temples, hopping from one beach to other and devouring local food. The trip was quite short but we tried to cover a lot of places in just 4 days and the last day was reserved for a bit of pampering. Since my parents were with me, so we tried to cover all the popular temples possible on our trip. You can skip temples and change your itinerary if you want to.”
“or anyone who loves adventure a road trip encompasses the epitome of explorative travel. Unrestrained by a rigorous itinerary, and offering the flexibility to detour at a moment’s notice, hitting the road with just a tank full of gas is incredibly liberating. Having spent some time driving through the United States I’ve collated, what I believe to be, the ultimate route for your southern U.S. road trip.”
