Now it’s time to finally pack up together and empty the campervan. In a few hours, we will return the little compact castle and this evening Singapore Airlines will take us to...

The end is near...however, it is only the end of our time in the compact castle. We have arrived at our last campsite in Auckland, enjoying a beautiful ocean view. To sweeten...

After a breakfast with a view of the lake, we bid farewell to Lake Taupo and head towards our second to last destination. Raglan on the West Coast. It wasn't so easy to find...

We are leaving the East Coast and heading back inland to Lake Taupo. Actually, the Tongariro National Park was on the agenda, but the gate to Mordor is closed. This means that...

We didn't just escape the rain; we also embarked on a time travel adventure! At least architecturally – and thankfully ONLY architecturally – we've landed in the 1930s. We have...

Acid Pool.

New Zealand is a popular film backdrop. We have already been to the Shire, and today we are heading to Narnia. We are taking a boat tour that will take us to Cathedral Cove, one...

We say goodbye to the Shire, and the weather follows suit. Gray, cloudy, and windy. We head towards the Coromandel Peninsula, a spot we missed during our last visit to New...

We were particularly looking forward to our visit to Hobbiton! Even ten years ago, during our first visit, we had a lot of fun. A little has changed since then. Back then, we...

After the Titanic had already embarked passengers in Cherbourg, it had to return to Southampton due to a technical defect. Similarly, today we are returning to our 'home port'...

Phew... it looked quite different yesterday! It's gray, windy, rainy, and cool. How unpleasant. Today, we're heading towards 90 Mile Beach. Check-out time at most places is...

We wake up to bright sunshine, summer temperatures, and a view of the sea. We brew tea and enjoy the scenery. Strengthened by breakfast, we think about how the day should...

Today is the day we start our next camping trip. This time we booked the campervan with Wendekreisen. Since our last visit - just before the Corona pandemic - the already...

And off we go again… for the third time, our journey takes us to New Zealand. This time, we are flying nonstop from Adelaide. The colleagues from Air New Zealand are incredibly...

This time we haven't stayed in our usual Ibis Hotel, as it seems the area around Rundle Mall in Adelaide has lost a lot of its popularity. We've chosen the Indigo in Chinatown,...

Slowly but surely, we are getting used to the local time. However, the puppet is a bit hindered; due to the air conditioning interruption in Sydney, he has become a bit...

It’s time to move again. The bags are packed, and we’re heading to the airport early. Conveniently, Uluru has its own airport. The nearest city, Alice Springs, is a few hours'...

The morning view out of the window does not greet us with sunshine! It is gray, gloomy, and rainy...and the temperature gauge announces 18 degrees?! Does the southern hemisphere...

Today includes a bit of sightseeing. We've done the big tours the last two times, so we're taking it easy today. We start at Darling Harbour with lunch and then take a little...

Today we feel more like ourselves again. Still, we want to take it easy, so we head to the beach. Bondi Beach, probably the most famous beach in the Southern Hemisphere. On this...

We finally arrived in Sydney, slightly battered and quite disheveled! By now, Saturday morning has dawned and progressed. Once around the world… During our previous visits, our...

In the meantime, a few years have passed….Püppi and Schnuck are on tour again

02/29/20 The flight to Trat is short, 45 minutes. It is remarkable that the colleagues from Bangkok Airways serve a hot meal! From Trat airport, we continue to Koh Chang by...

02/20/20 Well...actually it's two nights... The timing today is perfect! We arrive at the hotel in Bangkok just a little while before Matthias and Heike and can warmly welcome...

02/18/20 Not just a weekend, but a few days, like raspberries with whipped cream! Our hotel in Hua Hin is a hit! Our balcony not only has a sea view, but also a plunge pool that...

14.02.20 Bangkok Airways brings us to Phuket relaxed in an hour, still a taxi ride... and we are already at our domicile for the next few days in Patong Beach. It is early...

We have been lying on various Thai beaches for a few days now...well, actually, we rarely lie on the beach. We prefer to be by the pool with a view of the beach and sea. Several...

08.02.20 The last hours in the compact lock are approaching. One last breakfast - indoors - and then it's time to pack. The compact lock is not big, but we have surprisingly...
