After leaving the Penn Enez campsite as quickly as possible yesterday morning after an extremely stormy and cold night, I had a coffee and a croissant in Brest. A short city...

On this day, we say goodbye to the Breton Atlantic coast. No more steep, rocky paths beside blue water, but inland. We also wanted to see the Canal-Brest-Nantes, after all, the...

I have now spent three days at this beautiful bay in Locquirec and got the most beautiful pitch at the camping site (Camping municipal du Fond de la Baie) located directly on...

Yesterday I arrived at this wonderfully small and chill camping site Les Etang, located between St. Malo and Dinar. If I hadn't been placed directly across from a family of 9,...

Baguette and croissants snagged at the campsite, strengthened us for the 1.5 hour drive to the next destination at Camping Platz Le Marmottes in Val-d'Oronaye. The drive there...

After waking up in scorching heat, we headed to the small Italian town of Susa where our ice cream melted away, quickly making our way up to the mountains in France. We...

Wieder ein gutes Stück weitergekommen. Ich bin durch Cognac gefahren. Ich wusste gar nicht dass es auch eine Stadt ist und nicht nur ein Getränk. Viel Weinanbau aber keine...

Now I have just lost track for a moment. Have I been on the road for 13 days already? Doesn't matter. I'm making good progress and it's fun. The weather is great, just very cold...

Yes, I have made quite a bit of progress again. The question came up how many kilometers I ride. Somewhere between 70 and 130. Today I rode almost 130 and had magnificent...
