In the quiver tree forest

Now we're heading to the Kgalagadi, the "great wide", probably called Kalahari by us due to a transmission error. This desert, stretching across South Africa, Namibia, and...

The farewell from the whales was difficult for us, but we want to see much more. Our path leads us north, through hilly landscapes with fruit plantations, vineyards, and olive...

We have thought long and hard about where and how our sabbatical adventure should come to an end, with which destination we want to crown our year full of sunshine. We have...

Before our South America trip, we were afraid that we would rarely have internet access, so it would be difficult to blog, a concern that turned out to be mostly unfounded....

Do you think the weather will hold?

We're taking a completely new route southward. Our path doesn't go through the expensive highway, the Rhone Valley, or the Maritime Alps. Instead, we're slowly crossing the...

Here we are again! We spent a hot, relaxed, cheerful summer in Duisburg, meeting old and new friends, fixing up the Dubs again, or having it done, relaxing lazily in the sun and...

High in the Andes

We are curious but also a little skeptical. After Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile, we are now visiting the fourth and most foreign country on our tour. So far, there has been...

We are back in Chile and hope that the country and people in the north will appeal to us more and make up for Chile's bad first and second impression. You can't compare the...

In Mendoza

We have decided to make some progress now. We have been on the road for almost three months, have experienced and seen a lot, but there is still so much more we want to see and...

The tank is still dripping, and as planned, we are driving to a campground for one night since we can't do anything in the city on the weekend anyway. Sibylle found the...

First of all, we want to thank all the 'followers' who read our blog, like ♥️, comment, or give us feedback via WhatsApp! We are thrilled with every visit and especially with...

We continue north on the well-maintained Route 40. Our next destination is the Cueva de las Manos in the Santa Cruz Province. In 1960, researchers discovered the caves with...
