Not fieldtrips, Vacations with my wife.
We are there every year for about ten days.
Enjoy the landscape, the food and the red wine!!!!
When I found some herps during our trips in the nature or old villages I picture them.
Here are some pics I made in the past five years.

Behind the holiday flat I found a pound with a lot of Triturus and Lesotriton larvas.
I was not prepared, had no Aquarium or something like this on my side.
Good there was a coffee machine in the flat!!!!!!!!!!!

Jürgen,
