We have not used our RV in about years. We had work and then our truck was stolen and getting the RV fitted to the new truck and all of the things that go with that have been time consuming. Not to mention taking time to travel to Europe and then Amsterdam.
Finally, we were able to get the RV into the shop to get it raised to fit into the new hitch. We gave the shop the date of Thurs, October 21 Read on...
Today it was supposed to rain and it didnt – a beautiful day of mixed sun and cloud. Tomorrow it is supposed to pour, and someone told me it is the same forecast for the whole country.
The Level 4 walk (easier) is much more to my taste and ability, probably a bit harder than the most strenuous of the Devon walks last year. Today we took an easier route in the same general area as the harder wal Read on...
I had originally planned to spend two nights in Thunder Bay figuring Id be tired after two long days of driving but felt OK last night so I checked ahead in Winnipeg to be sure I could get in a day early and cancelled my second night in Thunder Bay. When I did it, it was supposed to rain there today anyway. Of course that changed by this morning but the plans were already changed. When I arrived a Read on...
Last night the cabin was very warm, and the fan we had didnt help much. Sometime late in the night it cooled down and I had to shut off the fan. Still, I guess we got an okay nights sleep and were on our way to Crater Lake by 7:30am or so. Crater Lake National Park is just over 50 miles from the KOA, but that is just to the entrance. We arrived at the Masama Village area by 9:30am. Masama Village Read on...
Last summer we spent half a day riding a draisine on Dellen Railway. We absolutely loved doing that. It was so much fun that we have decided to do this maybe once a year. There are about 30 places in Sweden where it is possible to ride draisine so we wont run out of options for this activity in the near future.
This summer we found in the tiny hamlet Vitvattnet, about half an hour by car north of Read on...
The day dawned again with a partly overcast sky robbing us again of a full sunrise on the mountains surrounding Lake Rotoiti.There was still a hint of sun gleaming off the melting carpet of snow on the tops but we would be left to wonder what a fully clear sky might have bought by way of dramatic light as the sun rose above the mountains to the east.
We joined the Hoofs again in their cottage for Read on...
Today was a highlight: the Rhine Gorge. Forty miles of green hillsides and vineyards with over 40 castles. Some are ruins, some have been preserved; some are actively in use. It was a beautiful day and we were out of deck for most of it.
Late in the afternoon, we arrived in Rudesheim where we went to the Museum of Mechanical Musical Instruments. This is a collection of restored music machines (wi Read on...
We woke up at the usual kids alarm clock time, bright and early, as we have not quite adjusted to not having them around. We ordered room service for breakfast and relaxed by reading our books and enjoying the view. Our suite opened up to a patio with lounge chairs and a infinity pool that looked out to the ocean. The pool is a little cooler than the bigger pools so is a perfect place to cool of Read on...
After 66 Blog entries, with over 65000 words and 2000 pictures, we our sabbatical or you can call it extended honeymoon travel blog. 11 months ago we packed our bags, quit our jobs and headed into an adventure which turned out much less predictable than originally envisaged.
Despite all sorts of Covid related travel restrictions, limitations to places we wanted to visit (museums and concerts were Read on...
OMG cannot believe a month up, this trip has been one of chillaxing, recharging and indulging in the wonderful food that Bali has to offer. Lots of long walks checking out all our old haunts, strolls on the beaches, lots of pool time and deciding where our next dinner is going to be! The weather has been superb, around 30 each day, just one afternoon of heavy rain so just the perfect environment t Read on...
