sommer2022

After yesterday's drive, the car shouldn't be moved. So I rode my bike 10km in the morning to buy some groceries at Aldi. Unfortunately, there is nothing within walking distance...

Today, the approximately 420 km towards Folkstone were on the schedule. We started around 11:15 and the planned driving time was about 5 hours. Shortly after the start, even...

So we spent 2 days at this campsite. We started with water balloon competitions invented by the kids, which I won both. After that, we booked canoes. We had tried before, but...

We continued towards Wales. On the way, we wanted to briefly visit Liverpool to make Benjamin jealous with some photos of the station. So, the navigation system was instructed...

We spent 2 very windy and one calm day on the campsite. Unfortunately, I can't remember much from the first day due to strong headaches. Our pitch was initially in the far...

Because heavy rain and a thunderstorm were forecast for tonight, we left for the next campsite a day earlier than planned. After initially looking very good on the 300 km route,...

Gestern wurde im Prinzip die Rückreise gestartet. Auf dem Weg zum Zeltplatz konnten wir zum ersten Mal einen Tesla Supercharger testen. Lief gut, leider blockieren wir durch die...

We only made small trips from the vacation apartment. We went to the swimming pool in Inverness, which was slightly disappointing. We were only allowed in for a good hour and...

So we treated ourselves to a camping break and will be staying in Inverness for 6 nights. The accommodation was built fairly recently in a larger settlement, but probably also a...

We have spent 4 nights in Dornoch. During the day, we dug at the beach, used the newly acquired kite, used the playground at the campsite, and searched for the most delicious...

After being supplied with delicious homemade scones by a kilt-wearing flatmate in the evening, we were also given fudges in the morning. Since we had to leave at 10, we had some...

Yesterday the day started with a search for corncrakes. These rare birds have settled near the campsite and make crackling noises day and night. Even though Moritz and I must...

We have now spent 4 nights on the island of Barra. Actually a nice place with various beaches, small mountains, and delicious cafes. Unfortunately, what was missing was the sun....

So yesterday it was just under an hour to the ferry and then 5 hours across the water in calm weather. The start was exceptionally sunny. On arrival then so foggy rain and...

Yesterday we drove another whole stretch, namely 285 km, further. We also drove along the largest lake on this island, the 39 km long Loch Lomond. This thing is quite...

We arrived at a beautiful campsite. Lots of green and the hills make it seem less crowded than it actually is. Unfortunately, the weather is not treating us well. It's not...

We have been walking around York for 2 days now. It is a beautiful city, not as big and much cleaner than Birmingham. We walked along the city walls, visited the Minster, the...

To avoid the announced rain, we packed up early on a whim. Actually quite a pity, because the campsite was actually the most beautiful so far. It should have been just 5 degrees...

The departure from the sleeping place was delayed as long as possible today, as it was raining quite heavily. But by half past 7 it was over and the first task of the day could...

Today we didn't start from the campsite until around half past 11. The planned route was not that far, only 190 km. Along the way, we made a big shopping trip because the...

Unfortunately, the night wasn't great. I woke up with terrible headaches. Monique wasn't feeling fresh either, as there seems to be a lot of drifting noise at night in this...

We had to be off the pitch by 12, so we took our time this morning. It backfired on us because we had to pack in the blazing sun. We ended up escaping to the shade with the roof...

Without an excursion, it is difficult at the campsite if you want to avoid too much sun. So the car was converted and an hour's drive was made to visit a beautiful castle -...

We were finished early today at 10 and could start. The weather was very nice and almost hot with 19 degrees 😉 The roads were initially very narrow again. On the side, there is...

Early in the morning, we got ready to leave because it was still very windy and the sea looked very gloomy. But it wasn't as bad as it looked on the rain radar. The forecast...

Monique wanted to leave right away. The day started early with a departing motorcycle and soon after with the children's group next to us. By 7 o'clock it was impossible to...

That was already yesterday, but it didn't fit quite well. It was a travel day from London back southwest to the coast. On the route, the car showed an arrival around 5 o'clock....

Today Monique planned the trip properly. So another piece of train, then past a trade fair to the cable car over the Thames, then by bus to the National Maritime Museum, then to...

After a short walk to the train station, today we went to the city center with the brand new Elizabeth Line. Day ticket for 2 adults and a child costs about 40 pounds for...

Since we didn't have to leave the campsite until 12 o'clock and the way was not that far, we were able to pack quite relaxed. On initially very narrow roads, we were just able...
