    May 1 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Seit Tagen schieben wir die Reiseplanung vor uns her. Wo wollen wir übernachten und was wollen wir uns anschauen? Vielleicht doch noch schnell ein WoMo mieten oder kaufen? Oder vielleicht doch Planänderung und woanders Urlaub machen? Gar nicht so einfach, vor allen Dingen die Planung zu zweit vorzunehmen und die Karte der Bretagne vor sich zu haben. Wer mich kennt weiß, das die Planung bei mir immer recht schnell und spontan gehen muss. Wobei meine Angetraute dafür vielleicht etwas länger benötigt.😉
    So nahmen wir uns am "Tag der Arbeit" etwas Zeit und planten unsere Reise.
    Der Ablauf sieht nun wie folgt aus:
    Zwischenübernachtung in Flesselles nach etwa 450 km.
    Weiter zum Mont Saint Michel und einer Übernachtung in Beauvoir.
    Die darauffolgenden Tage geht es ans Meer zum Camping de Pen Guen in Saint-Cast-Le-Guildo.
    Weiter nach Pleumeur Gautier.
    Die letzte Station ist dann das Slow Village Breizh Legendes in Plouneour Trez.
    Wir sind jetzt gespannt, was uns erwartet und was wir in der Bretagne alles erleben werden.

    Arrival into Germany 🇩🇪 and Cologne

    November 14, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Cologne certainly was a city I went to. It sure is a place on the Rhine that exists. Jokes aside, the gothic cathedral was awe-inspiring and the view from the Cologne Triangle was pretty good. What was not good was using German trains. I arrived 99 mins late to my next location Freiburg Im Breisgau.Read more

  • Day 23

    Berlin

    August 25, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Adelaide has been reading a book by Dam Smith called The Wall Between Us, about the Berlin Wall while we've been on holiday. She's absolutely loved it so we thought why not stop off at Berlin on our way home so she can actually see it. So we did and we visited this morning. Unbelievable sight.Read more

  • Day 9

    Bike Tour of Cologne

    September 9, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We woke this morning to the smell of bacon frying. Klaus was busy making us an egg with fried onions, tomatoes and bacon. After breakfast we put on our biking shorts and headed out to tour the area on bikes Klaus had borrowed for us. The route Klaus had planned took us through a wooded area near his home on the outskirts of Cologne down to the shores of the Rhine River. From there we followed a bike path that hugged the shoreline and took us many kilometres to a point where we were able to take a small ferry across the river and continue cycling along the city side of the river. We took a break for a drink at a restaurant overlooking the river.

    Once in the city we took a bridge back across the Rhine that had a railing absolutely covered with thousands of locks! We now followed along a section of bike path directly across from the city centre where we got a great view of the cityscape including the Cologne Cathedral. Continuing along this side of the river we eventually arrived back at the point where we had originally arrived at the river. We took a short rest break and then rode to an outdoor pub near Klaus’s house where we had beers and dinner. I was rather hungry because all we had had to eat on the 60 km journey was a banana and a few pretzels!

  • Day 48

    A Day in D'Dorf

    July 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today we got up and decided to head to Aldi to see what we could grab for breakfast. We found all my favourite foods and there was a massive range of pastries to choose from. We got 2 each and headed back to the apartment. We then headed to a river cruise along the Rhine. We got a nice seat on the top level, it was a beautiful day. The cruise was only an hour but we got to see some of the city and Erin got a beer.
    We then visited tourist information to see if there were any must see spots. We got some old school maps and headed back to make our own plan. We headed towards the art gallery K21. It was an interesting experience... There was potentially more security guards than art work and majority of the work was different. There were a few really good exhibits but some were very weird including animations of people crying, drawings that looked like they were done by 5 year olds and photos of mountains. Please see the video of my favourite art piece though. We also went into a paid exhibition accidentally which was the one we enjoyed most ironically.
    Next we walked to the parliament building and past these cool apartment buildings. We stopped for lunch and Erin had the worlds biggest schnitzel. We then walked along the Rhine promenade and saw where they were doing the pole vaulting. Back in the main town the 3x3 basketball tournament had started so we watched one of those games.
    We went back to the accommodation, got changed and headed back out. Erin took me on her own version of a free walking tour and we saw some lovely buildings. She even bought me a beer as you are allowed to open carry here. We found a nice seat overlooking the Rhine and had a beer. We then watched another basketball game while enjoying a beer. The quality of the competition was really good. The amount of people who had embraced the free merch from IMG was incredible, everyone in orange bucket hats or fedoras.
    Next stop was a bar we'd seen earlier which had 2 for 1 cocktails. We had a watermelon cocktail and then a pina colada. They were both very good. Then we had a 1€ shot because yolo.
    We grabbed another beer and sat down to watch a few more games before going for a late snack dinner as we were so full still.
    We had a pretzel and spinach bread dumplings which were delicious. We headed home after this, it was 30 degrees and had been a big walking day!

  • Day 18

    Cologne

    October 7, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    A very cold day out and about in Cologne as our guide showed us around the massive Cologne Cathedral. The allied forces largely spared the cathedral during WW2 due to it's value, so it is in original condition.

    Also checked out the Eau De Cologne store (Farina fragrance museum), Lovelock bridge, and the city shopping precinct.

    We were warned about pickpockets, so were careful, but one of the young male passengers from our ship was shoulder charged by a young german bloke in the city...probably an anti-American sentiment we think.
