After blasting through the entire season of La casa de papel yesterday evening – I love this series and managed to convince Heike that we should watch all season 5 episodes – it was time for us to get ready for another trip. Two nights at home is more than enough, and I even managedContinue reading “Mosquito-infested Untersee”

No time
I have one day at home to binge-watch the entire new season of La casa de papel. Do you really think I have time to write a post? Of course I don’t. I’ll be back another day 🙂.
Stubaital and the Elferhütte
This morning I was about halfway up some mountain in Austria, most of it by cable cart, but the last 200m or so elevation we hiked, dragging the kids along. Rafa did very well, and must have walked at least the first 100m by himself and the second half carried by me. He’s only twoContinue reading “Stubaital and the Elferhütte”
Bye bye Italy – see you hopefully soon!
I’m not completely sure what was going on last night. We were parked on the beautiful Lago d’Idro shores, where we had spent the day walking from coffee bar to bakery to coffee bar, and ended with a swim. It was a good day. My son Rafa seemed to have lost his appetite over theContinue reading “Bye bye Italy – see you hopefully soon!”
Zombie walk
This morning I discovered why it’s so comparatively quiet at Lago d’Idro. I couldn’t find any place that served coffee before 10am. There are several places near the water that open after that time, but none earlier than that. Ugh. This campsite doesn’t serve coffee either. What kind of Italian style is this…? And soContinue reading “Zombie walk”
The road to Lago d’Idro
Our glorious failure to find some place to camp on Lago d’Iseo yesterday led us to a quiet RV park on a mountain, which was cheap and in a nice place. This morning, we found out that the mountain village next to it, Borno, was a very pretty and vibrant village. It was as ifContinue reading “The road to Lago d’Idro”
Completo – Full – Ausgebucht
Lago d’Endine – although cute – was getting kind of boring. There wasn’t much else to do than swimming in the lake, which we could enter from a small pier where some rental boats were docked. Our neighbors – two wonderfully sweet middle-aged men, one deaf, the other extremely talkative (a funny match) – recommendedContinue reading “Completo – Full – Ausgebucht”
The stuff they don’t show you on Instagram
It all looks very romantic when you see it on Instagram. I’ve seen the pictures. The videos. The couples that love each other to death Itheir romantic van and the lifestyle that comes with it. To be honest, I find it quite impressive that people can even make it look romantic. I don’t believe themContinue reading “The stuff they don’t show you on Instagram”
Lago d’Endine
Our gut feeling told us that we had stayed in one spot for long enough, so this morning, we packed up our camp in Dongo, lake Como, and drove off South, not knowing where the roads would take us for the night. We hoped to find another nice camping spot on the lake Como shoreline,Continue reading “Lago d’Endine”
It’s called dedication…
I usually find it hard to identify with most people on the average campsite. I’m not sure why, but the campsite we’re staying at now seems to be filled with people that are exactly like us. Young parents that used to be adventurous – now with babies – that seem to hope that they couldContinue reading “It’s called dedication…”
