Day 20: Do you know Mister Dynamite? No, that's not my nickname. That is the code name of Bob Urban, a secret agent for the Federal Intelligence Service. He was my childhood...

Day 19: Yesterday I promised to tell you about Edith, Patje and Hermann. We met the three of them at the weekly market in Guardamar, which was a must for us - I think you know...

Day 12: It wasn't easy for us to leave the Malvarrosa de Corinto campsite. We met a lot of nice people in the five days we were there. Some of them wanted to leave today, but...

Today I was able to sleep in because my bus to Oviedo doesn't arrive until 9 a.m. and I chose my accommodation near the bus station. After a small breakfast I set off around...

This morning I had to get out early because the bus left at 6:15. I would have preferred a little later, but the next one wouldn't have left until the afternoon. But I was able...

I was woken up at 5am by a pilgrim getting ready. I stayed there for a while, but couldn't get back to sleep, so I packed my things and went over to the kitchen. I checked the...

Today I could have slept a little longer, but since rain is forecast for the afternoon and today's stage is a little longer, I got up at 6:15 and then set off at half past...

I explored the city a little. And I have to say, even though there's a lot going on now (which is probably the weekend too), I really like it here. I visited a church, a park...

Now I set off for the village of Tardajos, eleven kilometers away. The path, like the last few days in general, was relatively flat, which made walking very pleasant and quick....

Wednesday, 16.8.2023, Day 30We started early, shortly after 8:00 a.m., and then stopped at a cafeteria next to the gas station with the catchy name La Gasolinera 🤪 to have...

Besides the snoring of the late neighbor, we were awakened by the opening of his sliding door early in the morning. Once outside, he peed in front of the car and then went back...

Even when waking up it was drizzling and we fled towards Picos de Europa after checking the weather app. I was really looking forward to finally go to these mountains. After a...

Already in the evening many Spaniards walked past, in the morning the same picture. Some talking softly, others loudly (like the Spaniards do), the next with his portable radio....

It's been a while since our last post. What have we experienced during this time?! We continued driving along the French coast and originally planned to stay overnight in...

The Basque Country... autonomous and independent

At the turn of the year, the entire 'campground gang' meets up at the bar again. Everyone brings something to eat and we dine lavishly. Even visitors from Austria have arrived....

It gets cooler in the evenings ... and mornings too. The sun only rises around 8:30 in the morning and it's gone by 6pm. We have visitors coming over Christmas from Micha's...

Beautiful Asturias...on an open-ended journey in the old truck

As the title suggests, I'm very sick. It all started innocently enough with a sore throat on Wednesday. Now I don't have a sore throat anymore, but my sinuses are blocked and...
