FranceAfter a quick visit to the bay of Morbihan and to see the salt garden, we left the coast and headed inland to the forest Brocéliande. As per legend, this forest is the place the story of Merlin originated. Yes, it was not in England, the English apparently took the character and used it in the King Arthur story. Our final stop of this trip brought us to La Gacilly, a little artistic village andRead more
FranceLike this morning, I was very lucky with the weather. After all day long rain and fog, the rain stopped around 1h before the sunset. So, I took my gear, a windbreaker and a hot tea à waited for that sun to go down. It was worth the patience. Just a few minutes before the sun touched the water, the clouds opened up and changed the sky into a beautiful orange and blue. Absolutely great. My firstRead more
FranceFinally, the weather report announced 1 hour of no rain for the sunrise. So, I had to use this rare chance to get some nice pictures of the Pointe de Pen-Hir. That was a good choice. Soon after, rain and clouds moved in and reduced the chance for nice pictures.
FranceLighthouse day. Visiting several lighthouses on our travel from Roscoff to Camaret-sur-Mer was very high on my priority list. We had no blue sky, but some nice and interesting cloud formations, that made the view somehow more interesting. The first stop was at the Kermorvan lighthouse, where big waves crashed on land. Being there early in the morning enabled us to avoid other people at theRead more
FranceToday we discovered the little Island just off the coast from Roscoff. We brought our Bikes with us and did the coastal trail of around 10km. My first time to ride bike on sand.... On the island some beautiful beaches were awaiting us (a bit too windy and cold to swim, but at least the feets got a bath). While enjoying the soft sand, a little seal appeared in front of us and started to play withRead more
FranceOur journey around the cost lead us to the lighthouse of Ploumencac'h. Despite some heavy clouds could we see the lighthouse and its surroundings, the red rocks with their strange shapes. In Roscoff we had a beautiful little room with view on the sea where we could observe the huge tides.
FranceOn our next leg of this trip, we travelled from Saumur to Mont Saint Michel. As impressive as this little island off the mainland is, as scary it may be in high season when the place gets croweded with people. Nevertheless, I was positively surprised about this place. And going there off-season is well worth it and I was able to take pictures with little to none other people passing infront of theRead more
FranceAfter having travelled to Canada, Japan and Singapore, it's time for us to discover places in Europe. In order to choose a place to go, we made a list of what the place should offer. I wanted to go somewhere near the sea, to take pictures of lighthouses and having nice coastal lines. Sylvie also wanted to enjoy nice food and wine and being able to bring the bikes with us. So, after a shortRead more
SwitzerlandEndlich haben wir es geschafft. Roland war in der Region am französisch Lernen als er 20 war und war nie im Val de Travers (hatte da wohl andere Interessen). Nun, 50 Jahre später hat er den Weg zum Creux-du-Van doch noch gefunden. Spektakuläre Aussicht und beim Spazieren am Abhang war uns dann doch etwas mulmig zu Mute.
