A motorway parking lot would also do... had some campers nearby... nice people!

Coffee at a cool 40°C under the trees

I really gave everything to get the bumpy Bulli back on track - complete success! However, on 27.08. the trip to the North Cape should continue, but the weather forecast for the entire trip was and is extremely bad. Therefore, I decided not to drive. Postponed is not canceled though! Since the beautiful island of Borkum is also on the Atlantic route ... the pictures already give a nice impression!

My last day in France - tomorrow I'm heading to Belgium! The weather has turned into drizzle below 20°C. Funny, the closer I get to home, the more uncomfortable it gets - a sign?! ;-)

Self-blame is not an illness... it has once again proven true today. You don't go to the main tourist attractions like Saint Malo or Mont Saint Michelle when half of Europe is on vacation, on a Sunday and also in the afternoon. Oh well, I just drove to M-S-M after circling around three times. They have also upgraded. Over 10 years ago, there weren't so many barriers and full parking lots this early. There were still pictures... from about 25 KM away.

Habe heute Mal einen kommunalen Campingplatz ausprobiert. Astrein. Wenn ich richtig gerechnet habe für unter 7€. Das Örtchen ist auch ganz nett

Mers-les-Bains, Le Tréport and Eu – the three sisters

By train and bike from Amiens to Mers-les-Bains – and then two nights right away. A good decision.

First evening

Amiens: Cologne to fall in love with!

The start in Arras was actually great: relaxed cycling on an old railway line.

From Lille to Arras

Is Arras a place you must see? Not really! But let's take it step by step. After the miles on the bike, the road to Arras is surprisingly uneventful at first: flat. Really flat....
