Today we continued northwards on Albania's mountain roads, from Himara to Radhima. The plan was only to travel a short distance, from one beach to another. But there are some mountains in between. We see the roads in front of us winding upwards, upwards in serpentines... Are we really going to drive there? Yes, we should!

What is it like to drive in Albania? Driving in Albania doesn't have to be difficult, but you have to be a bit more careful than in Sweden, which is perhaps true in general on Balkan roads. Loose horses, cows, road construction, hay transport, fruit sales by the motorway or loose manhole covers - you never know what you'll encounter. We tell you about a road trip after dark, and we list what you need to consider when driving in Albania and on many other Balkan roads.

Puglia, or Apulia as it is called in Italian, is the region in southern Italy that goes down in the 'heel'. Where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet, you'll find everything from architecture and ancient culture to good food and long, beautiful beaches. Puglia is the Italians' own holiday paradise, and it's not hard to see why they love this part of Italy.

The last two days we have driven quite long distances here in southern Italy. The day before yesterday we drove from Sicily to Tropea on the east coast of Calabria and yesterday we continued north-east to Taranto. Sometimes we've ended up in the middle of towns and villages, and the fact that it's crowded to drive with a motorhome on the city streets is of course just the first name.

The advantage of a motorhome is that you are not restricted to charter destinations or places where there are hotels. Today, we started the journey south from Buggerru, travelling on breathtakingly beautiful roads through the mountains, with many impressive views of the sea.

Today we drove across Sardinia, from Cala Gonone in the east to a campsite in Porto Torres in the north-west. The plan is to follow the west coast southwards from here. When we left Cala Gonone we saw a lot of really mighty mountains. Since then the road has been flatter and less exciting.

Mountain roads at Calanche in Corsica! Driving around Calanche Di Piana is beyond explanation. These mountain roads in Corsica cannot be found anywhere else in Europe. So narrow that encounters are tough and 400 metres of cliffs on the side. How cool!

Roads in western Corsica are really dramatic! On the road (D81) from Calvi to Porto. I mean, what roads! We thought we were driving on dramatic roads around Verdon Gorge, but this one in Corsica broke records. The cliffs aren't as steep, but the roads are narrower and worse and cooler! Join us on the roads of western Corsica.

What is it really like to drive on French roads? We've done a lot of driving in this country now, first in western France and now on the Mediterranean coast.

Today we drove through a desert landscape in Spain. It is barren and mountainous and hardly any vegetables anywhere. Sometimes the landscape can be almost beautiful. Sometimes it feels rather ghostly. You sometimes wonder if you are on the moon.
