IZI Travel

After several false starts, I have settled on IZI travel https://izi.travel/en In my previous post I have discussed some of the good and bad points of this site/app but overall I think it will work.
It is free. I have seen no reports of spam, viruses, or other icky stuff associated with this app. And it is not a power hog.
One of the downsides is that the instructions are not intuitive, for me at least. So the rest of this post is about how to use IZI and how to install it. Give it a try, you can always uninstall if you don't like it.

First step
  1. Go to the web site https://izi.travel/en 
  2. As you play around on the site you will find that there is no HOME button.  If you get lost in the maze, click on this link, or copy and paste it into your browser to get back to the starting place.
  3. Create a profile. (Here is one of those glitches.  Now that I am signed up, I can't see what it looked like before a profile is created.)

Second Step
Download the app using what ever method you usually use to get apps.
Third Step
This is where their navigation becomes non intuitive. Like with the page if the maze gets too difficult, close the app and restart. And do this stuff when you are on WiFi.  Not only will it save your data, but it will assure a cleaner download.

  1. You have three choices on the opening page.  Click on "I'm going to..."
  2. Click on the three lines (menu bar) in the upper left corner.
  3. Scroll down to Settings then Account and sign in
  4. Use the arrows in the upper left corner to get back as far as you can.
  5. Click on the Map Pointer Mark in the lower left corner.  This will show you the tours closest to you.
  6. Use the magnifying glass in the top bar to search for the tour you want. 
  7. Once you have found the tour you want, click Download 
  8. Go make a cuppa coffee.  This may take a while.

's-Hertogenbosch June 2024

  I came to Den Bosch for the Bosch Parade.  I don't think one can understand the parade without understanding the town, and vice versa. The experience deserves a post all of its own, so  I will do this in two linked posts. This is not some of my best photography, but the experience was one that I wanted to share. As usual, I fight to make Blogger behave. Perhaps in the next few years we might make a meet up trip for Den Bosch and the parade.  Contact me if you might be interested. First off, the name.  's-Hertogenbosch or Den Bosch. Just accept that how ever you say it you are gonna  be wrong. The Dutch language, along with the Dutch mind set, is totally inexplicable and unexplainable, and totally charming. Like wise "Holland" or "Netherlands" is going to trip you up.  Both words describe the same place, but have subtle differences that really don't matter much, except to those people that it does but don't worry yourself about it The town goes by ...

A Day in Stockholm

I spent a marvelous day in Stockholm in June 2024.  I stayed two nights while on my way to Finland to go on the epic Svalbard expedition, but more on that in a future post. To me, getting there is half the fun, and these side trips are a major part of the fun. I have been taking a brief respite from posting. Illness and overwhelm, you know the story. But with a new summer of travel ahead, I must get back on the horse. This post is mostly a photo dump of my brief stay in Stockholm. I rate my visits in relation of would I go back or not.  I do hope to go back and experience more of what this city has to offer. As usual, the computer has interesting ideas on how to change up my layout. Click any photo to see a larger version and have a slide show and skip what little verbiage I have added.  I stayed in a Scandia Hotel. Think Marriott's or the Hilton in Swedish.  A pretty standard high rise commercial hotel. And some times that is just what one needs.  The breakfast...

Morris in the Borders

Imagine you are driving in far rural Midwales.  Narrow, hedge lined roads with barely enough room for two cars to pass in the wide spots. You come around a curve to the top of a hill. You reach a cross roads, you find a group of mad men, in tatters, brandishing sticks. Women with hankies  frolicking.  Ignoring the threat of rain. The Bettwys Triangle Art and Music   with  The Shropshire Bedlams and Martha Rhoden's Tuppenny Dish.  What can you do, but park and watch . An old church,  with beautiful carved headstones.  The rain held off until the last crack of the sticks then  it poured.
