    Day54

    Frankfurt Germany

     July 30, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Back in Germany! Alan is back behind the wheel after a two-week break. He found his way out of the Airport and to our accommodation with no problems. Being a Sunday the traffic was not too busy. Tomorrow may be a different story.
    Thank goodness for the long Summer days in Europe. You can pack so much into a day, or an afternoon in our case today. We walked for about 4 hours, along the river and then mainly in Old Town, which, like most of the city, was damaged during WWII and later rebuilt. We also did an hour's boat ride along the Main River. It was a good way to see the city skyline as well as many buildings and parks along the river. It was about 8:30pm when we got back to hotel and still light outside! Weather was mild - about 25 degrees.Read more

    Bingen

     July 14, 2016 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    L'Europe en Camping Car recommended a visit to Rüdesheim am Rhein so we drove the few kilometres down river. Whilst there were many interesting looking buildings the place seemed to have become very much a tourist hotspot with Viking Cruise piers, kebab houses and souvenir shops. There was even Hollywood style 'Rüdesheimer Rottland' lettering on the vine clad hillside!

    Deciding to move on, we followed directions from 'Aunty Satiya' who told us to cross the river. It was only when we reached the ferry terminal that we realised there was no bridge to cross! After a few seconds of indecision, we boarded with questions like 'how much is this going to cost?' and 'do we need a ticket?' ringing in our ears. It worked out great, with the ticket master asking us how long the van was and charging us just less than €10.

    As we are doing a Rhein tour we were keen to wake up with a view of the river so we splashed out €16.50 to stay at Bingen's riverside campsite (still much cheaper than the majority of places in the UK!). It turns out that having crossed the river, not only did we have a view of the Rhein but we got to watch the sun set and rise over it too!

    A tandem ride through the adjacent nature reserve revealed a refreshing display of flora and fauna, including Black Kites, nesting Storks, a range of butterflies and damselflies and stunning poppies in barley fields.

    We used our last day at the campsite to pluck up the guts and head out in the canoe. The nature reserve was sectioned off from the main part of the river by a wall running down the channel, but as the river was in flood, the water had risen over it and the flow was still fast. 3.5km upstream and back satiated our yearning for the water and we returned happy (and about 4 times as quickly as we'd headed out!)

    Romance town

     September 14, 2016 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    So last night wasnt great...
    I think we can safely say that will be our most expensive but easily the crappiest accommodation for our trip...
    Everyone had a pretty average (and very sweaty) sleep...

    Anyway- early start (in the dark) to catch a train in to Mainz and we were on our way...

    Illy and I headed off as the sprint team to beat the heat...
    Whilst I was standing with the bikes outside the supermarket in Etville, waiting for Illy, I was chatting to a lovely older German man. He had asked if we were touring and where we were going etc. I told him that I had found the last few days a bit boring scenery wise and he said "thats ok- because you are just about to ride the most romantic part of the Rhine, the scenery is fantastic"...
    Which was right but also was especially funny due to fact that Illy and I were riding alone today (after getting the pleasure of sharing a bed in the weird craphole apartment the previous evening)

    We rode along a path on the Rhine for most of the day, and it was pretty nice scenery!    Read more

    Karlsteijn Castle

     July 29, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Our last full day in Prague- fly out tomorrow for Frankfurt. We tool the train, about an hour outside Prague, to the Karlsteijn Castle. On a hill towering over the village. Very important in Chez history as very old- King Charles lived here and today the Crown Jewels ate housed there. Of course there were many, many steps to climb again and a very steep hill but well forth the effort.Read more

    Auf auf und davon.

     November 30, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

    Finaler Tag - Abreise
    Ihr seid eingeladen uns virtuell zubegeleiten, wir freuen uns über eure Teilnahme. 😊

    Endlich ist es soweit. Die ganze Aufregung, die umfangreiche Organisation im Vorfeld, das viele Arbeiten und Sparen, das lange Warten und die unheimliche Sehnsucht werden sich nun auszahlen.
    Nun sitzen wir hier im Flugzeug auf den Weg ins Abenteuer...first Stop - Buenos Aires.
    Ahnungslos  was wir alles erleben werden und wem wir begegnen werden - Ohne festes  Ziel,  mit viel Zeit, voller Freude und Vertrauen und Neugier aufs Unbekannte  gehen  wir mit offenen Armen nach vorne und freuen uns auf eine wunderschöne Zeit.

    Zum Glück hatte ich meinen großen Abschied schon am Sonntag, somit fiel mir der Weg zum Flughafen leichter als Luca ...es war ein Abschied der ihn nochmal alles abforderte. Aber das geht vorbei. Es sind keine Tränen der Trauer, es sind Tränen der Freude und Dankbarkeit an unsere Familien und Freunde ♡ vielen dank euch, dass ihr so an uns glaubt und uns den Rücken stärkt.

    Ich kanns noch immer nicht glauben, vor nicht mal 2 Monaten war dies hier grade mal ein Gedanke für mich, der Gedanke zur möglichen Weltreise. Doch dass das jetzt Realität wird hätte ich nicht gedacht... Doch wer sich seine Träume nicht eingesteht und verfolgt und an Sie glaubt, der sollte schleunigst damit anfangen. Nur wir selbst können Sie zum Leben erwecken.

    Doch eins ist klar, ohne so einen tollen Mann wie Luca wäre das nicht so einfach für mich gewesen und wer weiß, ob ich diesen Weg dann gegangen wäre... egal wir gehen ihn nun gemeisnsam und bereuen keine einzige Minute.. und jetzt .. Ja jetzt kann das Abenteuer starten !!!
    Südamerika wir kommen ... ♡

    Ach ja der Oberknaller war ja noch mein Lieber Schatz, der uns ein klein wenig in Panik brachte :D oder was meint ihr, wenn ihr kurz vorm Check in steht und nicht mehr sicher seid, ob ihr auch wirklich gebucht / bezahlt habt ... das ist bei ein Schock kurz vor Flugantritt. Doch Luca hatte Glück und es hat alles gepasst, also musste ich nicht schimpfen. In Zukunft wird wohl die Chefin Kontrolle machen müssen bei Flugbuchumgen damit so eine Panik nicht mehr Auftritt.

    P.s. unsere Koffer sind sehr leicht. 9,1 und 9,9 Kilo nur.... wird wohl reichen müssen.

    Hasta luego Amigos.    Read more

    Smer Frankfurt

     January 27 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 5 °C

    Po hrôzostrašnej 4 hodinovej noci, keď všetky bolestivé príznaky môjho tela neboli v súlade s tým, že sme mali jednoznačne najkvalitejšie pelešteky v rámci dostupnej časti letiska, sme pred piatou ráno úspešne prešli všetkými kontrolnými procedúrami. Aj keď u mňa taká osobnejšia prehliadka a chemický test. Pozostatky tých sudov Kofoly, ktoré som vypil ešte cez sezónu však kontrolný papierik nedokázali sfarbiť do požadovanej farby...

    Ňaňo, náš dvorný čechoslovák (podľa reči, ktoré ovláda) stratil strategické výhody svojho slovného prejavu odpútaním sa lietadla letiaceho smer Frankfurt od plochy pražského letiska.
    Sám som zvedavý, aké iné zbrane teda použije v ďalších pre neho jazykovo nepriateľských krajinách, ktoré nás čakajú.
    No a my už letíme západným smerom do Bangkoku, ktorý je v skutočnosti na východe... V podstate už druhý deň sa pohybujeme opačným smerom.
    Každou minútou sa tak vzďaľujeme od nášho konečného cieľa, čo je daňou za našu superlacnú letenku.    Read more
