Coming down from Lapland, we struggled. Too much rain, not warm enough to sit outside, and incredibly aggressive clouds of moskitos. Walking outside you felt like a welcome food for a hungry swarm of biting insects. Standing still for just a few seconds, they would sit down all over the clothes (and of course skin,…
Our first night at the baltic Sea was in Töre. This is the most north place of the Baltic Seay, and there is a famous buoy, which marks this location. Our first night at the Baltic Sea was in Töre. This is the most north place of the Baltic Sea, and there is a famous…
A few hundret kilometers further up north, we corssed finally the polar circle – entering the area where there is no sunset on the days of the mid summer (i.e. , now). We decided to take a lot of the smaller (dust) roads, wehre asmetimes, you don’t meet another car for hours. We had some…
…is the name of a road in northern Sweden which passes through wild and natural landscapes. Up here, in mid June, there is daylight 24 hours a day. Beautiful and peaceful landscapes, waterfalls, and many lakes and rivers. Also, not a lot of people, in particular at this early time in year. In it’s highest…
Traveling up to the north slowly, we are still not planning a lot, just seeing what comes across. On our way, we find beautiful rural places, outside of everything. The nights are getting shorter, the weather is getting better. In fact, we have days of 25C lasting until late evenings. Very enoyable after the long…
After just 3 days in Sweden it feels like we have seen most of what we ever associated with it. Again, we have done no planning at all – based on the learning how to spent time best – but we got a full basket of country insides. We landed with the ferry in Ystad….
Our next chapter has begun. We are heading North. No, we did not exchange our van with this nice Cadillac 🙂 However this photo documents one of the first encounters in the country we are onto: Sweden But first, we step by at our mother’s homes. The night to start with features a beautiful moonlight…
On our way home, we had a few days in Peloponnes to drive up a 250 kilometres to Patras, where the ferry leaves to Ancona in Italy. Last view to Crete Avoiding the larger sitis, there is a ferry from Crete to the Peleponnes, arriving in Gythia. A beautiful view onto some snow-covered mountains in…
This has been our overall favourite place for vanlife. After staying in the appartment for 3 or 4 days – escaping some cold or windy days – we are longing for the freedom and nature experience of vanlife. Somehow, the simplicity of everything and the small space you live in is made up by the…
Finally, the low pressure area that hit northern Europe first came down to Greece, all the way down to Crete. Here at the sea side in Paleochora, where we have rented a little flat for a few weeks, we got temperatures around 5 degrees Celsuis for a few days, heavy winds, big waves, and quite…
