Sunrise 3:47 This was the day when we moved north for quite a bit. Starting from Sweden (which is in CET time zone) we firstly visited rapids on river Torne älf and learned how the locals were (and partially still are) fishing white fish with just a fish net on a long stick. This is… Continue reading Crossing the polar circle
The watery way
Sunrise: 4:11 This morning we woke up at a place in the Finnish “outback’’ and had problem uploading the blog entry. There was next to zero connection. So, we ate breakfast and started the journey north. I was surprised that we didn’t meet any moos on the road, even though there were sings everywhere warning… Continue reading The watery way
Back on the road
Sunrise 4:33 This morning was cold and lazy. This was the first night that nothing woke me up until the morning and I was a little surprised. I thought of going on that tower again to see the morning view, but I was too tired and had a walk in the woods instead. When everybody… Continue reading Back on the road
Finland has great forests…but…
Yesterday we stopped on a very nice place in the middle of the forested area somewhere in the south part of Finland. It is very peaceful and quite here. When I woke up in the morning, I could not resist but to go for a walk through the forested surrounding. Forests are full of blueberries… Continue reading Finland has great forests…but…
The way through Helsinki
Sunrise: 4:33 We always traveled around Europe. I could say I grew up traveling, I already visited more than 12 countries before we went on this road trip. Some would think it gets boring, but it doesn’t. Various people, cultures, nature. It is different in every country. That is why it does not get boring,… Continue reading The way through Helsinki

Tallinn – Vanalinn
To clean out the stench from the day before, we were greeted with strong night rain, which sent us into second round of sleep. After morning rituals, we continued our way north and went into direction of Tallinn. Near Tallinn we parked our camper in camp just 25 minutes train drive from city center, so… Continue reading Tallinn – Vanalinn
Palace of Rundale and Riga
This morning the sun rose at 5:03, but we ignored the sun for several hours and did not stay up until the gentle melody of the chimes from the clock tower of Rundale Palace woke us. After breakfast in the camper, we went and had a look around the mansion and the surrounding gardens. We… Continue reading Palace of Rundale and Riga
Road trip day no.3
Niegow (km 1.107) If there is no thunderstorm to wake us up, there are people that want to know how many times they can wake people up by driving as fast as they can with cars or motorcycles. So, at 7.30 we decided to officially get up. We are slowly getting used to living so… Continue reading Road trip day no.3
Impressions of Warsaw
Today we woke up in the small village Mszana. There was a nice parking place for motorhomes and near was a nice fitness park for recreation. Of course we did not miss the every morning thunderstorm, but when we stood up it was a nice day waiting. We started at nine o’clock into the direction… Continue reading Impressions of Warsaw
