Hello everyone :) No, we're not trying to improve our French skills here, so far we've managed without them :) Although, I thought the cashier at a shop asked if I needed a...

After a lazy day at the beach followed by a feast, I needed some exercise today and where else can you have fun here than on the Zöllnerpfad. So I took out the map - searched...

Logbook entry by Captain Wim: 'You don't choose a helmsman, you take him with the ship! At first, he seemed quite suitable, but today I wonder how we made it this far. As a...

Saturday, February 25, 2017 A rather uneventful day, where I want to let the pictures speak for themselves. Therefore, just a short summary: We spent the morning catching up on...

Mileage: unchanged When we wanted to go out for dinner last night - after all, it was Sunday - we were unfortunate that the restaurant in

Today we are going via Tours to Amboise. Due to the expected 38 °C, we are only traveling 45 km so that we can arrive at the campsite by noon and enjoy the rising heat there.

Today we are heading to Savonnières on the Cher. This teaches us that not only old American beauty icons have that name. Breakfast today will be in the city.

Today, we are somewhat on the way back to Hamburg and for the first time on the tour heading directly east.

After coffee, we head to the beach by the marina in Hourtin. There's not much going on there, which is no surprise given the existing restrictions. There is already a great golf...

The weather forecast for the next few days is very similar: max. 40 to 42 °C. We think that is sufficient. Today we conclude the canal tour at Castets and Castillon, where the...

Been quiet on the blogging front, mostly because we don’t have much to report. We stayed at the Rhone camp until Wednesday morning, when we travelled to Lac D’Orient. Our days...

At 6:30 AM we depart from the hotel and we can still see the light of the sunrise.

A lazy day in camp. We went for a walk along the river and back through the dog park, which included a dog agility section. Betsy flat refused to enter the gate, and let’s just...

In the morning, the ship arrives in Martinique and we disembark from the Costa Fascinosa at 12:30 PM. For the next few days, we have rented a car again. This time, we choose a...

A day at the beach! The SUP is inflated, and off we go to the beach. It was so hot that it's really nice that the Atlantic has such cold water. Otherwise, it was a chill day; we...

Yay! It was a good parking spot to find right in the city! That’s often not easy with the camper. This allowed us to visit the market in Lorient, which is held in a hall AND...
