  • Welcome to Scotland

    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…

  • Carrickfergus Castle

    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.

  • Relaxing afternoon

    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…

  • Slieve League and Malin Beg

    After an early start today, I drove from the town of Donegal to Slieve League. I was early (and probably woke up the occupants of the two campervans parked at the bottom of the road). I parked up and made my way along the road. Had I known, that you’d be allowed to take the…

  • Donegal

    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.…

  • Another long trip and learning new things…

    After another long drive from Harwich I arrived in Wales last night. Traffic was heavy at times and I got stuck in traffic jams twice. 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.…

  • Destination Wales

    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…

  • Weekend in Malmö

    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…)

  • On holiday (project specific)

    I arrived in Düsseldorf this afternoon. The plan is to visit the Caravan Salon, a huge fair about and around caravaning. Tomorrow, I will start with my project. But today, I’m spending the afternoon in the city. I found a nice café to indulge on chocolate. Lovely cake and excellent hot chocolate the proper way.…
