One last part to fix, okay?

We almost overlooked this little gem of the Baltics – but sometimes chance (or in our case, the gear shift) leads to beautiful detours. Back in Travemünde, the Bulli's gearshift...

Don Curry returns

Once through Latvia

What a ride

7 hours in the saddle is borderline for me. But it's done.

The Curonian Spit. Between flat tires and sandy beaches

One of our other major destinations in Lithuania was the Curonian Spit, a very narrow coastal strip in the Baltic Sea that looks more like a sandbank on the map than a real island.

Every meter of asphalt is luxury....

On May 13, we visited a dinosaur park in Radailiai, which was right next to the hotel. Simple, but nice and informative and just right for 5 and 6-year-old children: another...

Only the tough ones make it to Radailiai!

A funny place name... but that was the only funny thing about this morning: constant rain, wind from all sides, 36km ahead of us, and the only asphalt road is the dual...

The 2nd day

The day started off relaxed with a good breakfast on the ferry in bright sunshine. Then the day dragged on with coffee, cake, and more coffee until around 5:00 p.m. when the...
