Impressions of travelling (Landrover) Defender style
Waking up in the morning feeling great, with no pressure, no business meetings or conference calls waiting, being able to travel free and without limits – that’s freedom to us. We’re now heading east. When we left Rosenheim, our original plan was to reach Romania within 2 days. But our first stop in Grosslobming turned […]

The more you plan, the more you get hit by surprise. Our plan to leave Switzerland on Wednesday (18-July) for Germany was sabotaged my Matschig Mike halfway between Winterthur and Sankt Gallen. It looked like Mike had fallen in love with 4×4 Manufaktur and wanted to return one more time. A(another) loss of cooling fluid […]

… as usual the photo gallery is at the end of the post 🙂 Weddings are great, especially when celebrated in good weather and attended by nice people. Both statements were true for the wedding of Camilla’s younger sister and Hakan our new brother-in-law . The location (Seefugium), which looked like la set from „The […]

After 2 weeks of staying in a solid building (and enjoying the luxury of having a private bathroom) we were back in our rooftop tent and on the way to Stadtoldendorf to attend the Rooftop Nomads Festival (Dachzelt Festival 2018). Despite a cold front that moved in bringing lots of rain, the festival was a […]

… could be described as our current motto. After Uzés we spent a whole week with our former neighbors and very good friends in Winterthur. It was strange coming back after 8 months to a place where we lived for 13 years. We still love Winterthur but it was also clear to us that we […]

Number seven is lucky for Cancer and Pisces. In the Tarot, seven is the card of the Chariot. September means “the seventh month” in […]

Mit unserem Defender ist es wie mit der ausgepressten Zitrone mit heissem Wasser die ich morgens trinke – absolut notwendig (Defender – kommt überall hin; Zitrone – ist basisch und stärkt die Abwehrkräfte) aber beide können einem sauer aufstossen. Aktuell verhält sich unser Dicker wie Mariah Carey bei den Weight Watchers – er zickt rum. […]

Die Bilder befinden sich wie immer am Ende des Textes 🙂 Eigentlich hatten wir geplant von Alcaucin nach Cartagena fahren. Das sind ca. 380 Km und nach der Vorhersage von wetter.com sollte das Wetter dort wärmer und sonniger als in der Gegend von Malaga sein. Aber als flammende Verfechter von „Change” und Flexibilität, haben wir auf […]

Puh, war das kalt und regnerisch an unserem letzten Tag in Alcaucin, gut, hatten wir ein richtiges Dach über den Köpfen und einen Schwedenofen (in Spanien, da verstehe einer die Menschen). Aber egal, Hauptsache trocken und warm. Richtig cool war der Überraschungsausflug nach Granada, bei den vielen Kurven und in unserem kleinen Mietwagen konnte ich […]
