    Back to my Roots

    18. elokuuta 2020, Alankomaat ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Missed us ??
    I can imagine.
    Germany is not really the country you would think about to tell great stories.
    However it is a good country for a long or short break.
    After Stuttgart we did roadtripping Germany. We avoided motorways and took the long way "home"..
    We encountered some beautiful landscapes, however they did resemble the sceneries from my youth, I could enjoy them.
    We started of with a go to the Rhine bank around Mannheim. Camping along the river.
    After this we wanted to see the famous Loreley, and had found a geourges spot on the opposite hillside of this famous rock.
    We camped at a small but beautiful site at Sankt Goar. Reaching it, was quite a struggle for Lieske, as it was engaging first gear and go!
    Our -suppost- last day in Gemany went a bit different.
    As we were heading for a nice spot at the Rursee. We encountered a very, very steep climb. Not to go to the lake, no. That was down.. but going it up the next day!
    So we skipped that site. And looked for another.
    Here is were the trouble started. All sites were full.
    As The Neterlands were only 45km away We decided to go there..
    But also here.. We tried three campsites, and all no vacancies.
    So...
    Only one thing left.
    Back to my roots.
    Simpelveld. It was on our planning. But just a day later.
    As the word was out, my brothers and sisters reached out.
    So we had a nice coffee , a drink, and a really nice diner, all at different places!
    We slept on the parking in front of Jos
    His house. Not, that we were not allowed in, but we want to enjoy Lieske as long as possible.
    Now..

    It's breakfast time!
    On the streets of my birthtown.    Lue lisää

    Seduced by the Siren

    17. elokuuta 2020, Saksa ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Following the stream down to The Netherlands we were seduced by the beauty of the Rhine valley.
    So we stopped at Sankt Goar and found a great campsite up the hill on the opposite side of the famous Loreley.
    Typical .. always ending up on the wrong side..    Lue lisää

    The Banks of the River Rhine.

    16. elokuuta 2020, Saksa ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Driving on secondary roads from Stuttgart to Mannheim.
    Found a nice spot along the Rhine.
    Forgot it was Sunday. So all shops closed.
    Good excuse to eat a non vegetarian curry wurst...

    There is no heaven.

    15. elokuuta 2020, Saksa ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    ... we did the "heaven for Benz lovers".
    It started a bit lets say.. awkward.
    As, however warned, Nika did not like the fact that I really did drive the old lady up until the main entrance.
    Nika does not like to show of.
    But I do.
    So this "we do this together tour" became a lonely walk in the dark.
    But as things go, in the end....
    So. Now to the museum.
    We really liked it, and I think it's worth a visit.
    Except...
    I missed the cars I came for. Or even hoped.
    .

    It was an exhibition from luxurious and exclusive cars. So I missed the "normal vehicles who made the History of Mercedes Benz .
    I lied if I did not see any W123, but only one 300TD in expo Travel. And a coach an coupe on a trailer in "transport"

    But not any W110, the type as Lieske or even not one!!! W114/W115 the type who saves their ass.
    ..
    Also in the department of "life savers"
    Not one ambulance from the type w110 , w115 or w123. A missed goal.. at least for me.
    ..
    Anyway. We were right in time, going in the morning, as there was quite a row as we looked outside to our Lieske, who got a visit from two Dutch cars.. a range rover and a defender.
    ..
    We stayed for more than 4 hours.
    As we left, we thought it would be nice to go to the Television Tower of Stuttgart..
    (Something like the first concrete tower in the world??)
    Had a coffee and went to the campsite.
    Did not want to go into the city, as the.roads are quite crowdy, many traficlights and... hills !!
    .
    We did a walk into the neighbourhood were we had diner and came home in fear of a thunderstorm. But it just missed us in a mile.
    Now..
    Heading for a place along the Rhine.

    Oil stains on Holy Ground.

    14. elokuuta 2020, Saksa ⋅ 🌧 24 °C

    We drove 237km in five hours along German country roads.
    Now we arrived at the walhalla for Mercedes Benz car lovers.
    We are at the doorstep of the museum.
    Tomorrow morning we intend to drive her up until the front entrance...
    Just to show her of.
    She deserves it!
    And for sure...she will mark her spot!

    An end to a dream.

    13. elokuuta 2020, Saksa ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Today, we left the city of Salzburg, and headed for Germany. Especially Munich.
    As we wanted to cross the border, the customs, waved us to stop. As I stopped, the officer said: "You can continue your journey, but I wanted to say you have a nice car!..."
    ..
    Welcome in Germany.
    ..
    The climbs we had to do were far more worse than straight through Austria, but Lieske might be old, but not yet done.
    ..
    We needed to go to Munich and visit the ADAC, this organisation issues the "carnet de Passage" which we would have needed for Iran.
    But as corona F#$@ckt our journey real bad, we will not make it to that destination anymore.
    So by personally delivering back the Carnet, it's a formal end to a dream.
    Lieske will probably never touch Iranian soil.
    ..
    The ADAC was realy friendly, and ensured us that the deposit money will be released within a few days.
    ..
    As this done. And it was a serious day anyway, I decided to visit the concentration camp memorial of Dachau.
    This camp was the bleu print for all camps build by the Nazis during and befor the second World war.
    Impressive and sad.
    We should never forget.
    After this "moment of sadness " we looked for some happy stuff, and found it in a nice piece of "apfelstrudel mit Eis und Sahne"..
    As life goes on...
    Now.. heading for a campsite.
    ...
    Tomorrow.. Stuttgart.    Lue lisää

    Grüß Gott!

    12. elokuuta 2020, Itävalta ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Started slow. But early. As we did not have any food stored away, this was going to be a day of spending!!
    So we started of with a nice Austrian breakfast Dutch style.. ;)
    Relaxing start of the day. We booked tickets online for the Festung Hohensalzburg Burcht, were a lift brings you up the mountain were the castle has been build over the more than 1000 years. It's one of the biggest, still remaining castles in Europe... they say....
    Many nice spots and stunning views.
    Also stunning prices for a cup of tea.
    We kept ourselfs to our program, and left around noon, to go down into the city and have lunch.
    As professionals in seeking food, we found a great place with good food. We will not want you to be jealous and spare you the details.
    On with the planning. The "Museum der Moderne".
    Again on a hill. We love panoramas...
    Stroled around the museum, and stayed for almost four hours.
    As we were down to earth, we discovered that we still did not try the MozartKugeln so..
    Quickly bought a few and sat down with a coffee to swallow those things down.
    Now the day was coming to an end, and Nika had seen a nice "Mr Lee, fresh food".. so we closed our tour with a great , and fresh Asian dinner.
    Tomorrow.. (today) we head for München.    Lue lisää

    Mozartkugeln

    11. elokuuta 2020, Itävalta ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    The slide throug Austria continued.
    Mainly because we kept on the safe side. We did not encounter any problem at all. There were moments that I was a little bit sad not to be forced to climb in its first gear.
    We did fairly nice slopes and many tunnels.
    I thought to feel the driveshaft trembling at high.. lol... speed. But could be imagination.
    But it's bearing is already worn out since the discovering of this problem in Taghit, Algeria.
    Spare part is in the boot. But ...I hope we will make it home without having to repair it "on the road".
    But we will see. Maybe...
    So we arrived safely in Salzburg.
    And at least I am very surprised about this city. Did not expect this.
    It's an classic -old- city, open, inviting, clean and relaxed.
    Tomorrow we go to visit the castle and the modern art Museum.
    Today, we just walked around and had a snack.
    It's almost so clear what we missed in Venice.
    It's a living city. Cyclists, cars, traficlights, people with a mission, shops of all kinds, playing children and "real people"
    The city vibe, the humm. Life.
    Maybe more tomorrow, otherwise.. see you in München.    Lue lisää

    The good old campsite feeling

    10. elokuuta 2020, Itävalta ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Yesterday we took the jump into the Alps.
    Although it was not a jump, more a slide.
    I feared it would be more like the Spanish Pyrenees, but it was almost flat sliding between the mountains.
    So in this case... a man suffers the most by suffering that he fears...
    But... we are only on 1/3 still some road to come.
    As real dare devils we are thinking about getting the Felbertaurn route. But.. I think we will keep on the main road to Salzburg tomorrow.
    We might get a fine from the Austrians, as we drove into the country on the motorway without paying the road tax. We passed the first opportunity and turned around, back into Italy, and go back again, but now stop at the border to buy the sticker.
    As we moved on, we saw the cameras just before the place we turned.
    But hey.. We will see.
    We run of the first campsite we visited at this Ossiacher See, as it was a chaos and very, very busy.
    But it seems that it was busy everywhere.
    As the place we are now, resembles the "I don't want to go there places" in Spain or even Italy. Maybe they are even worse.
    As there are many Dutch and German guests.
    Although, this morning we had refreshing swim in the lake, a short walk along the hillside and a lunch in Ostriach.
    Now... we are just lazy again.
    Paid the highest bill ever for two nights.. and tomorrow we are off to Salzburg.
    Hope the road won't have to much fun in making us to climb.
    However a little bit I won't mind.

    Maybe have a swim later tonight, otherwise for sure tomorrow morning.
    For now..
    Hopefully we sent the next message from Salzburg.
    Mozart... here we come.    Lue lisää
