Driving up into the clouds, the Highlands greated me with misty weather and some rain, parts of it were expected. I remembered the spots I stopped for a quick snapshot from three years ago. However, I also remember it being drier last time… the views were still stunning and my snapshots are not doing the…

Yesterday, I had taken the morning ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan and had driven up to Glasgow. I went for a touring site a short train ride outside the city. After I had parked up and set up on the levellers for the first time, I took the train into the city for a quick…

This morning was bright and sunny. I took off early and have now arrived in Carrickfergus. Parked the camper on the car park next to the castle. Now I’m out to explore and wander around. The ferry to Scotland is booked for tomorrow morning.

Today, I only took a short drive from Dungloe to the Mulroy Bay are. I made a few stops along the way. Just one snapshot from the first view point. The landscape, even on this overcast day, is fantastic at any place I stopped. After I arrived at the campsite I had a quick lunch…

I woke up in Donegal on this friendly, but cold morning. Just three degrees outside. Last night I parked at the car park in the harbour where staying over night is generally tolerated by the council. At first I was a bit sceptical, but it was quiet enough and the lot emptied out over night.…

However, the drive through Wales along the A5 towards Caernarfon was spectacular. And giving me a chance to get familiar with the dimensions of my vehicle in narrow winding roads.…

While I am waiting on the ferry in Harwich to disembark, it’s time for this holiday’s first blog post (and some snapshots from the voyage.) After loading the camper I left Hamburg yesterday and arrived in Hoek van Holland about eight hours and 545km later… The crossing was short (as was the night), but now…

Went to beautiful Sweden for a short trip. I arrived to a windy, but sunny morning in Malmö and found a place for a quick breakfast to start the day. (I couldn’t be bothered having breakfast on the ferry…)
