Vancouver

Montreal is really beautiful - or at least I think so. Unfortunately, you can't see much here because of all the construction sites. I always thought Bremen and Flensburg had a...

Last weekend I ended my summer in Halifax and took a twenty-hour train ride to Quebec. The journey was nice, although not as spectacular as BC and Alberta. Kati wrote in her...

One thing I had planned for my year in Canada was to go on a Whale Watching tour. From Kati, a friend I met at the hostel in Halifax who regularly sends me updates of her trip...

For current events, I just have to write a post about the cruise ships here. September and October are the busiest months of the cruise season in Halifax. This week, ships are...

After visiting the Emigration Museum in Bremerhaven with my family years ago, I naturally wanted to visit the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 here in Halifax, which is...

After three months, it's time for a tour of Halifax. I've already posted photos of the waterfront, the park, and the Citadel, now here are some photos from all over the city....

A few kilometers outside of Dartmouth lies Fisherman's Cove, a small fishing village that has been spruced up for tourism. Many small colorful fishing shacks with shops,...

At the southern end of Halifax is one of the most beautiful places in the city, Point Pleasant Park. Many paths through the forest or along the coast invite you to long walks or...

The Halifax Citadel is a large star-shaped fortress on a hill overlooking the city. Well, at least over Downtown Halifax, but in earlier centuries this area was settled by the...

Lunenburg

Is this art..

Actually, the next entry should be about Halifax, after all, I've been here for a month. But somehow I haven't gotten around to it yet, and on this occasion, I'm bringing...

Even the most beautiful vacation eventually comes to an end. We had four days left in Vancouver before returning the camper to the rental company. The drive from Whistler to...

Our zipline tour in Whistler deserves its own entry. Of our entire vacation, this was one of the best days. The tour was incredibly fun :D First, we had to sign a waiver at the...

I thought I had already written about my last visit to Whistler, but apparently I didn't. When I was in Whistler in November, there was snow everywhere (well, at least in the...

In Lillooet, we didn't have a reservation and first went to the campground that I had found on the internet. One look was enough for us to turn around immediately. The place...

At 108 Mile House, we had chosen to stay at the golf resort for the night. Although calling it a golf resort was quite a stretch for the place. The 'campsite' consisted of a...

After leaving the national park, the temperatures slowly started to rise. Unfortunately, the campsite we had chosen for the next night was not yet open, so we had to drive a...

Nowhere are there fences that could prevent a fall.

Today I'm combining two stages of our tour, even though there were actually several days in between, but it fits so well. Canada is a country of lakes, rivers, and also...

The Icefield Parkway was the part of our trip that I was most looking forward to. We had heard so much about this route between Lake Louise and Jasper, seen so many great...

After two days in Banff we continued on to Lake Louise. Actually, we had hoped that the ice on the lake would have melted by now, but unfortunately we were a bit early in the...

In Banff we stayed for the first time longer than one night. And I have to say, it makes a difference whether one or two. With two nights you have a whole day on site, don't...

From Fort Steele, we headed to the national parks. The route to Banff goes through Kootenay National Park and then through Banff National Park. Together with Jasper National...

Fort Steele was on our list because there is the 'Fort Steele Heritage Town Museum' here. An open-air museum that reminded me a lot of the one in Molfsee. The only difference:...

After the exhausting drive through the snow, we arrived quite late at the campsite in Erickson. The office was already closed, but someone answered right away when we called the...

From Osoyoos, we headed towards Fort Steel. However, the route was too long for a single day, especially since we also wanted to make a stop in Nelson. So, on that day, we only...

Although desert-like climate did not prevail in Osoyoos in April yet, at least we were able to eat outside for the first time in the evening. The campsite is beautifully...

From Kelowna, we headed towards the American border to Osoyoos. Just north of Osoyoos is Canada's only desert, although it is only about 100 hectares in size. The road passes...
