    Carcassonne 🛡️

    April 14 in France ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

    We had to make the detour - and it was worth it! The city has a lower and an upper town we strolled through. Jaros first time to sea a castle. 🏰

    Plus we were able to see some snowy Pyrenees 🏔️😍

    Bizanet

    Apr 13–14 in France ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

    Okay, well - our next planned and very famous stop is now close by. We decided to spend the night at a quieter spot which is nonetheless beautiful. No matter how small the town or village: there is a bakery worth visiting. Looking forward to tomorrow morning. 🥐 🥖Read more

    Such a pretty baby!

    April 13 in France ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Because we got this village recommended by our personal France-Guide Aurel, we went to see Gordes. And it’s not just that HE thinks Gordes is one of the most pretty villages on our planet - but it was ranked THE MOST PRETTY VILLAGE ON EARTH. What a title. So in some way we are thrilled that today is a rainy Monday with 8º C. I can only assume what is it like to be (or live!) here during tourist season.
    We spent the night on a free spot close by in the middle of nowhere. The mountains here are pretty and nature lets you know you’re in the Provence department. Although it is a cloudy day, it is beautiful - the nature and Gordes. We strolled through town, got ourselves une tartelette from Le Fournil de Mamie Jeanne (bakehouse from Granny Jeanne) and only saw some tourist groups exploring the village. One British group passed by and a woman, I guess in her 60s, saw us and was just in love with Jaro! “Such a pretty baby!” she said a couple of times, went to her friends and asked them: “Did you see the baby? Such a cute, pretty baby!”. I think Jaro might have been her favorite sight of this town.

    We will now head towards our next (quite touristy) destination… Any guesses?    Read more

    What we find in search for a toilet

    April 12 in France ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

    Sometimes, while camping, you feel like wanting „a real toilet“. So you think about where to find one - malls, grocery stores and DIY stores sometimes have some (surprisingly clean) ones. So we drove to the next Intermarché. Unfortunately this specific one didn’t have them. So…what do we do? We look out for a nice café. And - lucky us! - this town had a really nice little café. It was just perfect for this slow, rainy Sunday morning. We went, had coffee and well, of course made use of their amenities.Read more

    France.

    Apr 10–11 in France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    We made it to France! After a beautiful day with my aunt close to Lörrach, we drove here.
    A beautiful tradition we have is getting a croissant and baguette at the local bakery wherever we spend our fist night in France. So far we’ve never been disappointed. 🥐 🥖

    The weather was too good to continue with another long day of driving so we had a slow day and just left some time on the afternoon.    Read more

    Second overnight spot.

    Apr 9–10 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    After a long day full of driving and a warm welcome (and dinner!) at my cousins house we still decided to go ahead and spend the night along the way.

    Out of our apartment!

    Apr 1–2 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    The first night of our trip didn’t really feel like part of our trip. But it is! And we spend it right at home. Ready to leave the next day.

    PS some of the things in our van went to our parents place - its not what we wanted to bring alpine our travels). So thank you for helping us out with storage ;)Read more
