On the road again
For the past two weeks, including the Christmas holidays and new year’s Eve, we had rented a little house at Triopetra at the south coast. After a week or so we started to miss the vanlife – despite the hot showers, fully equipped kitchen and reasonably sized bed which the house featured.
Happy holidays
Wishing you and your families peaceful, calm and exciting Christmas days. Whatever you do on “normal” days, do something different! Meet your beloved ones. In person or virtually, but meet them! Don’t wait for better times. The best time is now.
Winter in Crete

Unfortunately, we figured that we would need much better light to fully explore the cave. With some of the weak light we were…
The perfect place
Yesterday we found an amazing place. It features a nice lonely spot for our van under a tree, a fantastic seaview, a little sandy bay just for us (we still go swimming daily), and a small village in walking distance for shopping.
Stuck in the mud
After a day of rain, the parking spot at our apartment was so muddy that the car skipped down the hill rather than following where I wanted it to go… Although it is a 4WD… So we waited for the sun to come out to dry the mud and after a couple of hours, we…
Greece locks down
After a very low inidence rate of COVID-19 infections during summer time, the second wave also hits Greece, and the local Government decided on a lockdown until end of November. As we were no sure how this may apply to our travelling, we rented a flat for two weeks in Keratokampos, a small village at…
