I have to say that we really love this time of the year here in Ontario.<br /><br />It tasted just like sparkling water with a hint of grapefruit. And, of course you most haven't heard of it because it wouldn't be legal in the States. They have only just come out within the last six months or so in Canada and they are very regulated.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20779975339940015062020-10-11T14:30:33.373-04:002020-10-11T14:30:33.373-04:00The foliage there is just gorgeous!

Our daughter drove through there yesterday in order to come up and see us and her brother and she said it was nuts! I am sure it would have been a beautiful drive if it we had done the drive during the middle of the week though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75830960776826647432020-10-11T13:26:48.772-04:002020-10-11T13:26:48.772-04:00Yes, the colours are absolutely beautiful at the m...Yes, the colours are absolutely beautiful at the moment. I think it will be the last good weekend for the fall colours though.

We are well aware of the car rental rules over in Europe as we have rented a number of cars over our last few visits and no that not every country has the same rules and regulations but it is definitely something to be well aware of.<br /><br />As it stands now, we won't be doing many of these countries until we have our new motorhome sometime next March. We will certainly keep these places that you have mentioned in mind when we do eventually travel to those areas.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-76675066605469597512020-10-11T10:33:03.193-04:002020-10-11T10:33:03.193-04:00Did you go through "The Park"?Did you go through "The Park"?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592184037513559644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-35504707418212223982020-10-10T23:22:18.764-04:002020-10-10T23:22:18.764-04:00I love the fall foliage photos with the reds, yell...I love the fall foliage photos with the reds, yellows, and oranges.

FYI when renting a car look carefully at your country list to see if you can take car across border. There is a list with each rental company that says what the "Green Card" will allow countries to visit. You may need to change cars to visit other countries. Just like Mexico you have to buy additional insurance at the border to visit Kosovo. We have used Sixt for many rentals but they have country restrictions based on the country you rent in. It works best if you can return car to same country and then take rail, bus, or flight to next place to rent again. When you go to Albanina visit the UNESCO city of Berat. There are 700,000 bunkers across Albania from the Communist era. Go to Northern Macedonia and stay in the Ohrid on Lake Orhid. There are national parks with great hiking in Northern Macedonia. Consider visiting North <br />Central Greece and see the cliff top monastries of Metora. We look froward to reading of your European adventure in a rental car or RV.34XBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835732902535833399noreply@blogger.com
