Shikoku: Off the Trail in Nakamura
April 12, 2017 We call them rest days and today is one of those days. Here in the quiet, small city of Nakamura, we plan to do nothing more than see a few sights and, of course, eat. Nakamura is the perfect place to take a holiday from our daily walking ritual. It’s a small... Continue Reading →

A series of posts following David and Gail as they walk 480 kilometers from Prague to Vienna in 2014. October 10, 2014 After 600 kilometers of non-stop walking across two countries, our last six days spent in Salzburg and Vienna were a welcome reward.

Prague to Vienna on Foot: Our Last Day
A series of posts following David and Gail as they walk 480 kilometers from Prague to Vienna in 2014. October 2, 2014 A mere fourteen kilometres to the Vienna city limits.

Prague to Vienna on Foot: Mikulov
A series of posts following David and Gail as they walk 480 kilometers from Prague to Vienna in 2014. September 27, 2014 Mikulov is a city no less interesting than its cousins, Telč, Tabor, Salonice and Znojmo. But this hilltop town suffers from an unromantic approach. No crowning a hill to reveal a picturesque village... Continue Reading →
Prague to Vienna on Foot: Border Patrol
A series of posts following David and Gail as they walk 480 kilometers from Prague to Vienna in 2014. September 27, 2014 It is not that we wanted to set a new record for kilometres walked in a day. Walking should be a pleasure and, for Gail and me, that is in the 20-25 kilometre... Continue Reading →
Prague to Vienna on Foot: Znojmo
A series of posts following David and Gail as they walk 480 kilometers from Prague to Vienna in 2014. September 26, 2014 How fortunate that Znojmo should be a brief 11 kilometre walk from last night's rest stop in Šatov. Set on a hilltop, small stone houses and steep streets cling to its edges, rising... Continue Reading →
