Day 14
Museums x3
August 27, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We started the morning off with a delicious Sunday breakfast here 🌟 Then we headed into town by bus. Todays plan included Simon being our excellent tour guide. We learnt lots about different parts of the city, different buildings, history, and even the best spots to eat or drink. We visited the Oldenburg Schloss followed by the Prinzenpalais and the Augusteum, but not without a small ice cream break in-between 😋😋 I really enjoyed each museum/gallery for different reasons and definitely have some new favourite artists! We finished our big day with a cold drink at the Gleis Park, which to Josh and I was the German version of Smash Palace in Christchurch, so we felt happy and right at home here 😁Read more
Traveler It seems like that Simon was much more better prepared as a tourist guide than me 😉.

Traveler Haha but I think we had the best Kiel had to offer, no compliments from us 😁

Weiter gehts ans Meer
July 7, 2020 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Nach einem Zwischenstopp in Bremen (wir trafen hier einen guten Bekannten) und einem 2 tägigem Aufenthalt auf einem sehr schönem kleinen Stellplatz in Nordenham, geht es weiter nach Wilhelmshaven. Leider lässt uns das Wetter gerade im Stich und so verbringen wir viel Zeit im WoMo. Eine Erfahrung, die wir bis jetzt noch nicht hatten.Read more

Leaving to Oldenburg
June 26, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We left Dänischenhagen and farewelled Sabine and her family today to travel via train to Simon and Sarah in Oldenburg, where we are staying at a friend and old flatmate of Sabine, Whita, her partner Jörg and daughter Fiene. This was also Simons first place to stay before finding a flat here in the city.Read more
Touren-Matze Ich wüsste, dass es euch dort gefällt. Eigentlich muss man woanders gar nicht mehr hin! Weiterhin beste Reisewübnsche..! 🛤

Wattenmeer
July 29, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Nach der Fährüberfahrt von Larvik nach Hirtshals fahren wir beinahe ununterbrochen in Richtung Wattenmeer. Wir kommen sehr gut voran und besuchen am Abend ein Kollege von Simon und gehen gemeinsam Essen. Bei ihm dürfen wir auch übernachten und duschen, was wir sehr gerne annehemen. Nun sind wir in Wilhelmshaven am Jadebusen. Dort besuchen wir ein sehr interessantes Museum über das Wattenmeer. Allen die das lesen können wir diesen Besuch wärmstens empfehlen. Nach einem Fischteller zur Stärkung fahren wir gleich weiter gegen Frankfurt und besuchen nochmals einen Kollegen.Read more

On the road again…
August 28, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
And just like that, the last leg of our 2 week trip up and down Germany is here. We set out to the bus stop at 8:30am, only for our bus to be late so we missed the 9:30am train connection. This gave us some time to do a final walk through Oldenburg, which was nice 😁😁 3 trains and 1 bus later, we arrived in Köln (Cologne) at 4:00pm. Oma Astrid (Joshes grandma on his Dads side) greeted us warmly to her city apartment, which we were pleasantly surprised to see her guests Richard and Elke (We met their granddaughter in NZ, who is currently an international student at Cashmere high school) ☺️ We had a great feast for dinner 🍲 lots of very lecker food which had us going back for seconds and even thirds…😋😋😋Read more

Day 14
Traveling to Oldenburg
August 27, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Yesterday we left Kiel by train 🚊 about 4 hours later we arrived in Oldenburg. We were greeted by Simon (Joshes older brother) at about 4:00pm. We took a stroll around the city before catching our bus out to Mollberg where Jörg and Wita live (friends of Sabine’s). This is where we will stay for the weekend. For dinner, I tried my first Döner 🥙 which was exciting!! We all enjoyed eating together on Wallstraße, where Simon and Sarah also took us to a nice bar for a drink or two 🍸 it was so nice to soak in the night life here in Oldenburg - we had lots of fun!Read more

Day 35
Warm showers under the Dyke.
June 9, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
I have been trying out another reciprocal cyclist accommodation scheme. I spent my last night in the Netherlands with a charming and generous retired organic farmer couple, camping in their orchard and dining with them. Last night I camped just next to the coast route with absolutely delightful hosts including an incredibly friendly dog. They live just under the sea dyke in the old dyke keepers house. Its below sea level. You have to climb the dyke to get to see the sea/mudflats and salt marshes. Just next to it are the sluice gates (keeping sea out and allowing river water out) and the pumping station for when that is not enough. Its really very touching to receive such kindnesses not to mention trust. And its very nice to meet locals. But I also find it strangely quite hard. Feeling indebted and trying not to be in the way and to be on best behavior.Read more

Vorbereitungen für die Nordlandreise
February 11, 2020 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 4 °C
Inga und ich packen für unsere Reise ins kalte Norwegen. Von Bergen bis Kirkenes an der russischen Grenze soll uns das Postschiff “Nordlys“ von den Hurtigrouten bringen. Packliste: Wollsocken, lange Unterhosen, Wollhemden, Wolldecke, Strickzeug, Buch, Reiseführer...und Reisetabletten, falls es ordentlich schaukelt, und Rotwein für den 1. Abend in Hamburg...und, und: Ich bin furchtbar aufgeregt und voller Vorfreude. Soll sich doch endlich ein langgehegter Wunsch erfüllen: einmal mit dem Postschiff an der norwegischen Küste entlang fahren. Geträumt 1975 und jetzt soll es losgehen.Read more

Zo dichtbij
June 23, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Dit is echt heel zuur. Na enkele tegenslagen tijdens deze fantastische reis slaat het noodlot toch nog toe op een uurtje voor de finish.

Tijdens de laatste dag waren we de karaktereigenschappen van de Jeep een beetje aan het beschrijven en we kwamen tot de conclusie dat hij wel een buitengewoon slechte timing heeft. We hebben erg veel zin in de finish, vrienden en familie staan ons daar op te wachten.

We rijden een uur voor Robert Jan, Tom, Stefan en Daan als we lezen dat ze problemen hebben. We gaan even in overleg op een parkeerplaats en zodra we weten dat ze weer verder kunnen rijden wij ook weer door. Na een paar honderd meter zie ik dat onze watermeter maximaal aangeeft. Dit is kut, met nog een uur te gaan zetten we de auto aan de kant. Even wat onderzoek wijst uit dat de waterpomp stuk is. Einde rally voor ons 😪😭😭Read more

Het venijn zit hem in de staart
June 23, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
De laatste lootjes wegen het zwaarst en ook vandaag blijkt wel weer dat dit klopt. De auto’s hebben het erg zwaar met de eindspurt. Eerst raakt de #12 Audi van Daan en Stefan oververhit. Voor de zekerheid hebben we de thermostaat eruit gehaald en voorzichtig weer rustig proberen te rijden. Dit lijkt goed! Even later een appje van Jeep #76 van Kim en Geert, overhit! Snel zijn we naar ze toe gereden en tegen de tijd dat we aankwamen werd pijnlijk duidelijk dat het de waterpomp was... einde dolle rit 😢. Heel erg zuur om Kim en Geert achter te moeten laten. Gelukkig kon de Jeep snel opgehaald worden door de ADAC.Read more
