Vor vier Jahren war ich zuletzt in Berlin und da es nun einige neue Attraktionen gibt, nutzte ich dieses verlngerte Wochenende zu einem Kurztrip in unsere Hauptstadt. Dabei bekam ich gute Qualitt zu einem ordentlichen Preis: mein 5 liegt in der Nhe des Bahnhofs Friedrichstrae und kostet nicht allzu viel. An allen drei Abenden gehe ich in ein bekanntes Restaurant in der Nhe und auch das ist nicht Read on...
Super day out today. Apologies for rather a lot of photos but we went to so many super places its too hard to chose what to show here so ended up with an overload.
I highlighted Issigeac on the map as yesterday as a lovely village to visit though it is most famed for a superb Sunday market and this was not Sunday. Then circled 2 more places along the route and off we went.
Issigeac first. No mar Read on...
First half (ish) of the day was sunny and then it got real rainy in the afternoon so I just chilled at the hotel and planned a bit of what I wanted to see/do in Alesund next week.
On the way to Skei I stopped at this cute little beach - its far too cold for me to brave the waters to swim but I did put my flip flops on and walked around in the water a bit. Brrrrr. But the water is so clean and cle Read on...
I forgot to mention yesterday that I did not see a to Saskatchewan sign on the highway. The sign at the Alberta visitor centre was underwhelming but to be fair I was no longer on Highway 1, the Trans Canada Highway that runs coast to coast. The rolls in the landscape got a little bigger once I entered Alberta. Im basically camped in the valley of the last couple road pics. The river is shallow now Read on...
Nachdem ich ber die Feiertage 10 Nchte im Haus meiner Mutter verbracht hatte, fuhr ich gestern vom Raum Nrnberg zurck nach Mnchen. Dabei machte ich einen Halt in Ingolstadt, um mir die Stadt anzusehen. In der Nhe des Neuen Schlosses, in dem sich das Bayerische Armeemuseum befindet, fand ich einen kostenlosen Parkplatz. Auf die Besichtigung dieser Anlage verzichtete ich aber. Ich wei auch gar nicht Read on...
This morning I was up early to catch the morning light. It was a soft pale blue fading into a pastel pink. Two guys were craning a long timber boat onto the slipway opposite us, and pretty soon were scraping and power cleaning the hull before lowering it back into its mooring. An hour later and the lake was glistening. The water mirrors the shoreline, as large black birds glide across the sky, occ Read on...
Phew. Still incredibly hot but a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday. Fortunately we dont need to cycle or walk in the full sunshine or even ride the scooter as we would have done on previous trips. Just trying to be sensible and limit the time we are fully exposed to the sun as it really is lethally hot.
We first of all visited Limeuil which is just over the bridge across the Dordogne. On a Read on...
We HAD eagerly set off for our destination, Kaltukatjara (Docker River), where we HAD planned to stay 2 nights.
50km from Yulara and with Kata Tjuka at our backs we photographed the road signs to the WA Border and Kaltukatjara and the road ahead knowing that 95% of the over 1000km to Laverton would be unsealed. The road that we covered today proved to be worse than what we had heard. Bone shaking Read on...
Very pleased with this campsite and especially our pitch as, as it gets hotter, the shade provided by a couple of big tall trees is keeping us Forecast for the next few days is to get hotter and even hotter until we probably Hopefully a storm along before that happens ?.
Decided for first time to use campsite showers rather than the excellent ones in the van mainly because there is no grey waste Read on...
