  • Relaxing afternoon

    Today, I only took a short drive from Dungloe to the Mulroy Bay are. I made a few stops along the way. Just one snapshot from the first view point. The landscape, even on this overcast day, is fantastic at any place I stopped. After I arrived at the campsite I had a quick lunch…

  • Slieve League and Malin Beg

    After an early start today, I drove from the town of Donegal to Slieve League. I was early (and probably woke up the occupants of the two campervans parked at the bottom of the road). I parked up and made my way along the road. Had I known, that you’d be allowed to take the…

  • Donegal

    I woke up in Donegal on this friendly, but cold morning. Just three degrees outside. Last night I parked at the car park in the harbour where staying over night is generally tolerated by the council. At first I was a bit sceptical, but it was quiet enough and the lot emptied out over night.…

  • Another long trip and learning new things…

    After another long drive from Harwich I arrived in Wales last night. Traffic was heavy at times and I got stuck in traffic jams twice. However, the drive through Wales along the A5 towards Caernarfon was spectacular. And giving me a chance to get familiar with the dimensions of my vehicle in narrow winding roads.…

  • Destination Wales

    While I am waiting on the ferry in Harwich to disembark, it’s time for this holiday’s first blog post (and some snapshots from the voyage.) After loading the camper I left Hamburg yesterday and arrived in Hoek van Holland about eight hours and 545km later… The crossing was short (as was the night), but now…

  • Weekend in Malmö

    Went to beautiful Sweden for a short trip. I arrived to a windy, but sunny morning in Malmö and found a place for a quick breakfast to start the day. (I couldn’t be bothered having breakfast on the ferry…)

  • On holiday (project specific)

    I arrived in Düsseldorf this afternoon. The plan is to visit the Caravan Salon, a huge fair about and around caravaning. Tomorrow, I will start with my project. But today, I’m spending the afternoon in the city. I found a nice café to indulge on chocolate. Lovely cake and excellent hot chocolate the proper way.…

  • Sunday Morning

    Another beautiful Sunday morning in Hamburg. I had already been for a run around the Alster earlier in the morning and after breakfast I went out again for a walk. Took out a cup of hot chocolate as it is very windy and thus quite chilly. As it is getting stornier, I will return home…

  • Summer

    It's a beautiful sunny day. Finally, it does feel like summer: warm with a nice breeze. I won't complain about it being almost too hot… Back in the office, I wonder whether I should have stayed outside. As it is this summer, the first thunder showers are predicted towards the afternoon, spot on for my…
