... that found no more space.

Right in the morning, we took the ferry from Faial to Pico. A 30-minute relaxing journey. The island of Pico is known for its highest mountain of the same name. Since we are not...

The weather was perfect the next day. We didn't know it at the beginning, but in the end, we hiked around the caldera for 21 km and 1100 meters of elevation gain along the crater...

On the way to the Azores lies Lisbon - at least on our route.

The vacation is coming to a calm end. The last days were characterized by 'camping routine', swimming, eating, surfing, and evening entertainment. It was a good balance after...

The last week of our vacation has begun. As reported, we are already in Southern Italy, more specifically in the Basilicata region by the Ionian Sea. There isn't really a larger...

After 3 hot nights in Palermo we made a detour to nearby Monreale (not to be confused with Monreal in Rhineland-Palatinate 😉), which is known for its Norman cathedral from the...

From the ferry we went straight to a motorhome parking space in Palermo. It was only 2.5 km, but the traffic in Palermo makes a Central European sweat with fear. Narrow streets,...

Finally summer again! This time we didn't wait long and went to Sicily on the first day of our vacation. The weather forecast was "promising". 42° on Wednesday. But most of the...
