Initially, we wanted to spend our departure day leisurely by the lake – one last time on the colorful chairs, soaking up a bit of sun. But after we packed, there was a strange...

Romantic break = still a no-show. The clock showed 1:39 AM when 2 of the 4 children were awake. An hour later, everyone was up. Jetlag has us fully in its grip. Consequently,...

Vancouver has many faces: nearly a million if you count just the people, but the city of Vancouver itself is very densely populated, and the surrounding area is no less so....

Our journey on Vancouver Island ends today. But first thing in the morning, we see the goat at the garden table 🤣 Around noon, we take the ferry back to the mainland. Before...

Ottawa is the capital of Canada. We knew that before our trip. We also knew it was located between Montréal and Toronto - and that was about it. Mr. Ärmel could have mentioned...

Once again, we are caught by a hail shower at night... it's really loud on the metal roof of the car 🫣 We sleep in late and then enjoy our breakfast with wild raspberries...

We are repeatedly awakened by the rain at night, which patters loudly on the metal roof. It reminds us of Mühlenbarbek, where we once slept in a construction trailer for 3...

Hello everyone, we have now arrived in Dawson City in the Yukon province. We drove the Alaska Highway about 2000 km from Fort St. John to Tetlin Junction in Alaska. During the...

Hello everyone, The journey first took us to the Provincial Park Blue Lake. Very original and untouched by nature. Then we continued through the endless prairie landscapes of...

Hello, we have spent the last few days at a campsite in Kingston on Lake Ontario. This is where the St. Lawrence River flows into Lake Ontario. There are many islands and a boat...

Sleeping in was the only item on our list today. Jörg was the first to go to breakfast, followed by me and at some point Andi also arrived. Everything is very relaxed. From...

At 5:15 a.m. the alarm clock went off. Get up, shower, have breakfast. Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet didn't open until 6:30 a.m., but coffee etc. and a few rolls with jam...

So, for me it is now January 3rd, 2024, so I arrived in Canada 2 days ago :) January 1st. was a pure flight and bus day in which we were super lucky that everything arrived on...

We've been thinking for a long time about whether we're going to go to the big city - it depends on the weather, because if we do, we want to visit the CN Tower. It's 553m high...

Today I'm writing and it hits me - we've been on the road in our new life for 8 weeks. At 5.10 a.m. we get the message from Jesse that it's been 5 years since we had the giant...

The alarm clock rings at 3:00. It's really an ungodly hour after just 4 hours of sleep. But whoever books the ferry too late is punished by the alarm clock. It's a shame that we...

I can't remember anymore what Tanka was drying there, but it tasted good - like a kind of dried sauerkraut.

I know you are eagerly waiting for our new stories, but the first day is always exhausting. But now let's get started. Now the day of departure has arrived and I believe we have...

On Sunday, I received a brief introduction to photo editing from David, although I barely remembered anything. Nevertheless, it was quite interesting to see what is possible. I...

Hello, The first workshop ended today with the departure of the photographers, and my goodness, I must say that I am completely exhausted. But let's start from the beginning:...

Said Théoden before the battle for Helm's Deep began. I am not in a battle, but I thought of this sentence when the first workshop started on Wednesday. But first, let's talk...

Note: This is my longest post so far... just saying. :D First, the last post came a day early, and now this post comes in the middle of the week. But I'm experiencing so much...

Oh guys, I experienced something that you don't experience a second time (in my case somehow yes). On Saturday we were in town to buy various things for dinner (hot dogs by the...

On Tuesday I was dropped off in Crofton and actually wanted to spend a few hours there before taking the ferry to Salt Spring Island, but it felt like a village with one street...

Vancouver After surviving the absurdly long bus ride, the stress continued as I had very little time left to check into my first hostel. But once I got through that, I was...

First: There is a lot to read. Second: A short thank you. Since last week, I can check the statistics of my blog and with over 1300 clicks on my posts, this blog is ranked 29th...

Yep, there was no bear encounter, so here's a new blog post. On Monday was Thanksgiving, unlike in the USA, Thanksgiving is celebrated here on the second Monday in October, and...
