Visiting Andorra, The Last Country in Europe For Us

Andorra
Image
Andorra was the last country in Europe for us to visit. The only way to get there is either through Spain or France. A 3-4-hour bus trip on a serpentine road was not tempting, nor travelling in Spain. We did it through Toulouse, France using Andbus.

Why visit Prague?

Husova, 110 00 Praha 1-Staré Město, Czechia
Image
If you want to admire romantic bridges, go to Paris. If you want to do window shopping, head to Champs-Elysees and Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. For panoramic views, take a lift to Eiffel tower. For the best rated beer, drink at one of Belgium’s monastic breweries. For buying a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, London is your first choice.
