Impressive chalk cliffs on the Alabaster Coast

A few days have passed since the last entry. We woke up at Cap Fréhel. Despite the beautiful but windy weather, we were able to admire the Cap. The wild cliffs, the rough sea,...

This summer was supposed to be special. Due to the circumstances of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, travel had to change a bit this year and we found a different way. After long...

Side by side and yet so different - Impression of two cities

Mileage: unchanged It was Saturday, and we had already decided yesterday to do what one should actually do on vacation.

recently, I have been exploring the northern part of France. First, I went on a pilgrimage to Normandy with a youth group from my hometown in Leinefelde. We were following in...

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

When I look at the pictures, I always start to daydream! Camping (with a caravan for us) is always immersing myself in the new, the foreign, the unknown, and of course...

Drizzle on the Alabaster Coast
