The night on the plane was short, early in the morning we reach Halifax (we set the clock 3 hours ahead again). We take over a large, very comfortable van: a 7-seater Toyota...

After deciding to go to Jasper, I just had to figure out how to get there, it's a distance of 3996 km as the crow flies!

At 7:30 am I wake up to a wonderful sunrise. It's dry and 5°C! Hooray. Not sunny, but it's not raining. After breakfast from the refrigerator, we spend a cold half hour on the...

Der vierzehnte Tag (21.08.2021)

On Friday, 6 December, I took the bus to my next stop in the morning and arrived in Halifax, the capital of the province of Nova Scotia, around 2 pm. I went straight to the...

In the last two days with Jil in Halifax, I arranged with the hostel that I can work as a volunteer in housekeeping for some time and stay in the hostel for free.

The night was rather disturbed. The walls in this motel are paper-thin and I couldn't sleep for long periods because someone in the room above me was snoring miserably. The...

The house is very noisy and the people who live in the gable of the house probably don't realize that. I get up at 8.00 am - outside the fog hangs low and the clouds are thick...

With full confidence, we started driving east through Quebec. By chance, we came across a beautiful coastal route and enjoyed the sound of the waves every evening. Arriving in...

On 27.06. we received a message from the shipping company that a stowaway was spotted on our ship and they had to hand him over to the border police in Liverpool. So the ship...

Hello dear ones, the days are flying by and I have already been here for a week. I haven't really done much work, now I'm cleaning out of boredom... awful 😄 Without a car,...

On the next day, we made another small detour, the original plan was to go to the Drysdale Falls, which we had seen great pictures of on the internet.

I wake up 6 hours ago, thick clouds hang outside. We get up shortly after 7 because breakfast is only from 8 to 9. Of course, in a B&B, the lady of the house doesn't want to...
