Barolo Valley

The anticipated thunderstorm arrived very late but was all the more intense. The wind nearly blew my tent away. And the thunder followed immediately after the lightning.

I just had to spend the night here

Heavy rain was forecast for the next day. Thus, on the third day, there was an unintentional enforced pause. I found a nice place to stay for two nights in the small vill

It actually takes quite a while to reach Cuneo by public transport. First, the journey starts with a regional train to Lake Constance. There, I had a lunch break with a v

We're already into the third day here, letting life come to us. The campsite is great, the weather even better, and we're doing well. At 66 years old, life begins... Hello...

Saying goodbye to the Barolo Valley isn't easy. It's just so beautiful here, and the weather plays its part too. But there's no time to waste; the journey continues. Our next...

We left France with heavy hearts. We will drive home in stages over the next few days. Originally, the same return route was planned. Through Lyon and Stuttgart, but the...

Of course, we were damn tired the next morning. We immediately looked for a spot on the campsite and, obedient to my circulation, spent the day lying down... 30°C= breathing,...

My sunglasses are still there :-/

So my dear, surprisingly quickly then 08.07. arrived. In the morning we packed everything in the car and then, at 12 o'clock, we started; unfortunately not without traffic. So...

where were we again ahh France, back over Italy overnight stay in Pessinetto near Turin, traffic in Italy is special when you're still getting overtaken at 70 in a 50 limit ......

Okay... I get to be in charge again. ;-) The weather forecast is not so great - thunderstorms in the afternoon. But whether the Italians can predict the weather any better than...

It's happening again. After this blog has been in a long slumber, I now have a reason to wake it up. After many other trips in the past years that were either too short o

On 26.03. after breakfast, we set off: we drove over the Brenner Pass towards Lake Garda enjoying beautiful scenery. Our first destination: a lunch break near Lazise, where we...

The alarm goes off at 4:00. Pff a bit too early for Mini. At least there was leftover pizza for breakfast. The journey took 12 hours until we checked in at a rather minimalist...
