Travelogues Canada

We start along the South Thompson River on the north side - away from the highway, gravel road with all-wheel drive 😅 We would have liked to stay longer with Sandra and John......

We start today at a small lake (Lake Lucille), a bit off-road on the way, and we see very large dragonflies🦟 Next, we head to Brandywine Falls, which drops 70m. Over centuries,...

Good morning 🙂 Slept very well 😊 Breakfast right in front of our cabin: muesli with fruits and coffee, along with Nutella toast. By the way, Nutella is available here in...

During the layover, we noticed that neither of us had ever been to Switzerland. And we had never sat on a plane for over 10 hours either 😅 Our boarding in Zurich was slightly...

Our friendly driver Rodrigo, who was supposed to drive us from the old town to the airport in Lisbon, was on time to the minute, which turned out to be a good omen for the rest...

Hello everyone, we have now reached Vancouver after almost 9000 km. This means we have crossed the entire North American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After...

OK, so how do I start a monster post like this? It's been exactly a month since I last made a post and since I was on holiday during that time, a lot has happened. Let's start...

Alarm clock 6:15 a.m. One by one we went to the bathroom, packed our bags, had breakfast together and then it was goodbye Calgary, hello Vancouver. From Calgary we took Air...

On November 24th, 2023 we arrived on the island in the dark - that's not difficult at all, since the sunset here is around 4:15 pm - I was first enchanted by the many large...

Our journey takes us along Lake Superior. This is the largest inland lake in the world. There are great places that we go to - and there are always small sights. The season is...

Today we travel further. Every night somewhere different. We actually didn't want to do that because you don't really have much of an accommodation option, but you can only do...

Today is another travel day. We packed our seven things (in the truest sense of the word, because that's all my wife had with us) and finally drove off to the last stops on the...

Originally, I had planned to drive to Sooke and the adjacent beaches during my time here on Vancouver Island, but we decided to take a closer look at Victoria. But first we need...

Today we want to take it easy. After a hearty breakfast, , we set off on our first trail with our packed lunches, water, sun protection, mosquito repellent, as well as our...

Heyho, unfortunately, there is no audio version this time because I just didn't have the time alone and someone always came by, etc. Sorry for the one or two people who were...

Ha! You probably thought I would keep you waiting for long! 😋 Nah, just kidding. Having WiFi here is a rare exception. But let's start from the beginning: On Tuesday, it was...

Hello there, As mentioned in the last blog, I was allowed to borrow David's camera and tried my luck with the hummingbirds. These hummingbirds were so fast and small that the...

Greetings, as announced in the last post, I went to the lake for the first time on Saturday. It was partially frozen, with very thin ice and had an interesting lamellar shape. I...

Hello, On Sunday, I used my day off, sat with David at our hotspot, and hoped to see wildlife. Unfortunately, we saw nothing but Nutcrackers. And since I was very tired that...

Hello, don't worry, this blog post is shorter than the last one. On the weekend, David and I went to a spot again to lay out a new bait, and that's David's favorite spot and I...

Hello. On Saturday, I took the opportunity to "repair" a door handle. It's just a piece of wood into which I drilled two holes, and now it's a new "handle." It's so bad that I...

Hey there, I'm back again, and I think this blog will be long again because I will definitely get into a certain topic while writing, but more on that later. Last Saturday, I...

On Sunday, I had my day off. Fathi asked me if I wanted to go to the end of the lake with him later, but first we had to quickly go to the neighbor's. We helped with some things...

Human, unlike other this time not Friday, but already Thursday (in my time) a new post. It also makes sense, because if I experience more tomorrow, this will be an endless entry...

No matter who I told about my plans for Canada - whether it was my students, my circle of friends, or my family - at some point, it was always said that in Canada I would...

After returning the camper, we took an Uber to our last Airbnb. We still had 4 days before our trip was finally over. Between the excitement of going home and the sadness of the...

Tag 139: After killing some time at KFC and McDonald's, I take the Greyhound to Portland at 12:05. I thought I could go straight through, but the bus actually gets changed in...

Tuesday, July 26, 2022 The trip to Quebec is too far for a day, we stay in Grand Falls in the hotel right above the waterfall. At first, we think it's just a small waterfall,...

Saturday, 23.07.2022 In Pictou, we are staying at the hotel 'The Scotsman Inn'. In the morning, the owner served breakfast in Scottish attire, with a kilt in the well-appointed...

Raindrops are pattering on our camper. Rain is forecasted until 11 o'clock at refreshing 28 degrees. Yesterday we watched the news for the first time since the beginning of our...
