Only a 25 minutes drive from Lindos is the small village of Asklipio. Well-hidden in the mountains this village houses one of the more impressive castle ruins on the island, the Castle of Asklipio. There’s also the added perk of enjoying the spectacular view all the way back to the sea. Village of Asklipio Asklipio…
Visiting Rhodes usually means spending a lot of time along its coastline. But what is inland? We opted for a short road trip to find out. We were going to head towards the island’s highest peak, Attavyros, at 1215 meters above the sea. That is how we ended up in the small village of Agios…
There are plenty of ruins of old castles on Rhodes. One of these is the Feraklos Castle right outside the village of Charaki. This is a ruin with a view like few others. My brother and I decided to take a short trip from Vlycha Beach to see the castle as the last trip before…
When planning our trip to California, we didn’t initially consider Livermore. As a matter of fact, we didn’t even know it existed. However, we are happy that we did find this small town and could use it as our base for our week on the American west coast. We had a great week with many…
We might not have known much about Californian nature beforehand, but we had heard about the redwoods. After our crazy day trip to Yosemite a few days earlier with Stephanie, it was time to meet up with her once more for new adventures. This time it was a visit to the giant trees at the…
We hope that the new year has started well and that you are enjoying 2020! It’s now time for us to summarize our top 10 posts and other interesting statistics from 2019. As we really enjoy numbers and statistics, this something we have done each year since we founded The Biveros Effect in December 2015. Click on…
I was probably not the only one dreaming about the NHL as a kid. Playing the video games, collecting the cards, checking the results first thing in the morning (the games were always played after bedtime – a problem when growing up in Sweden). Having idols such as Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, Joe Sakic, and…
What to do a lazy day in Livermore, California? There seem to be two major attractions in this smallish Tri-valley city and those are shopping and wine. The town is famous for one specific thing. Actually, it’s the one thing that made us choose the town as our base. The Livermore Valley American Viticultural Area…
Do you have to see San Francisco when visiting Northern California? Do you need to see the Golden Gate Bridge when in San Francisco? In our opinion, you probably should. We are no great fans of the city itself, but a trip to northern California is not complete without saying hi to the sea lions…
When talking about visiting California, our friends mentioned two places. The first one was San Francisco, with both positive and negative experiences. The second place was Yosemite National Park. We had for a long time considered going there and were looking into how to rent a car and drive ourselves. Then it just happened to…
We arrived at San Francisco International Airport on a Sunday and it turned out to involve some unexpected adventures. After four days in Montréal and two in Boston, it was now time to explore the west coast. Well, parts of Northern California at least. One week in Livermore would prove to offer much more than…
Have you wondered if you have distant relatives abroad? Do you know of any that you are not in contact with? This is my story about getting in contact with distant relatives abroad. Eventually, the greatest challenge is not going to be getting in contact with distant relatives abroad. Actually, the most difficult part is…
