The Electronics Conspiracy

Mon, 3 Sep 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [870]

The computer and the "smart phone" (if one is savy enough to master the technology) can be a real aid to travelers.  We have been using our MacBook to scout out World Heritage sites and to find hotel rooms.  Booking.com seems to be the go-... Read more >

Sometimes you stumble upon a place and just don't want to leave.  Like Villa Fridhem in the town of Härnösands.  The B&B is a bit off the main road and even our SatNav couldn't locate it.  (We've gotten to referring to the GPS as "her,"... Read more >
