Travelogues Italy

Today we're going to Pietralunga. I'm not really inclined to set off today. I'm very reluctant to leave the tasteful room with the wonderful view over the roofs of Città di...

On the way from Caprese Micheangelo to Sansepolcro, new impressions await me: I have now left the forests behind me and a vast Tuscan mountain landscape stretches out before me....

Six and a half hours of hiking, uphill and downhill, which I completed without any problems. (Who would have thought that four days ago.) Over the Monte Foresto to Caprese...

Today I am wiser: I use the hiking guide later as bedtime reading and I ignore Google Maps. Today I trust GPS. And lo and behold, I master every inconsistency on the route. They...

So there we were after a 20 hour ferry ride - in Palermo! The ferry had to park backwards and by the time our parking deck was announced, it was already 6 p.m. - just under an...

On the third attempt I finally managed to see the Duomo (after a first attempt in 1999 and a second attempt on Thursday). The interior of the cathedral was fascinating due to...

From today's perspective, the catastrophe of Pompeii is a (macabre) stroke of luck. We can see life almost 2,000 years ago in its purest form and also admire the achievements...

04.-08.08.2023 Unfortunately, my husband and I didn't have that much vacation together this year, but we made the best of it and took two short vacations. The first took us...

09/27/23 The alarm goes off at 7. We want to leave early because we're going on a long hike today. Jan drives us for an hour along narrow, winding roads to the highest point of...

9/20/23 We woke up sweating wet - there were four of us in the room, but without ventilation it was a bit hot. But you immediately have that shared apartment feeling again. From...

At 4 o'clock in the morning we packed the buses and set off for Olbia. Now it was time to say goodbye. One last time, the few who were awake could admire the mountainous and...

Fueled by breakfast, which everyone ate individually in the bungalows, we headed to the town of Alghero at 11 o'clock by bus. The city impresses with picturesque streets,...

The first item on today's agenda was a choir rehearsal, where a few a cappella pieces for the evening concert received the final touches. At the supermarket in Arborea, we made...

A very good day to my dear fellow human beings:), right now I'm enjoying the warm Pentecost sun in Bari❤️. I've been at sea for six weeks now and today I jumped into the sea...

A new sunny day begins, starting like yesterday with a delicious breakfast and a subsequent choir rehearsal. With concert clothing packed, we headed to the city of Nuoro, about...

The farewell party was really great. Sonja, Maja, Finn and Steffen made me very happy. Thank you very much. Also to everyone who called me to wish me a good time. I hardly slept...

Once again, thank you so much to our families who enriched the Bye Bye Party. We really enjoyed our crowded living room and yes - there were a few tears shed. The tears on...

14-day bike tour through western Sicily

The weather is getting better and it's almost 30 degrees in Tirano. We take a walk through the town, to the cathedral and through the old town, before settling down for some...

Alp Grüm - a 15 minute stop for photos

28.08.2022 The vacation is coming to an end and after almost packing everything yesterday, including because a thunderstorm was approaching, which ripped the neighbor's entire...

The morning was frosty but beautiful. The clouds had cleared, and the first rays of sun flooded the valley below me. Optimal conditions for the Col de Malatra. The next 400...

My tour was supposed to start right at the beginning of the Aosta Valley. The regional train from Milan dropped me off in the small village of Hone. Next to the ruins of a...

Today it's all about food because we were at Fico Eataly World - a food theme park 😋 On the way there, I had a happy and excited Finn next to me. It opened at 11 am and we...

After a not so good night, due to the uncomfortable and hard bed as well as the loud surroundings right next to the main road, we had a semi good breakfast. There wasn't much...

The breakfast leftovers didn't work out so well because we weren't really hungry. But in the end, we hardly had to throw anything away 👌🏼 Packing the car went relatively well...

After skipping breakfast, we rode around Reggio nell' Emilia, where we are staying, on an e-scooter 🛴 There were a few places and buildings to admire. Since the scooters in the...

In the morning we relaxed and read 😌🤓 For lunch, we had Risotto Milanese cooked by the moms of the family, very delicious with 3 different types of cheese 🧀🍽 Then we went to...

The view in the morning from the camper is just as great as in the evening. At an altitude of 1,300 m it is still cold in the morning. For breakfast we drive back to the...
