Europe » Germany » Baden-Württemberg » Bruchsal December 21st 2023

Am 21. Dezember fuhr ich wieder von Walldorf nach Mannheim zurück und stieg diesmal in Bruchsal um. Nachdem ich mir das dortige Schloss schon im März angesehen hatte, lief ich diesmal den kleinen Hügel zum Belvedere hoch. Es war aber nicht das beste Wetter. Anschließend trank ich noch in einem Café einen Glühwein.... read more

Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Hersbruck November 11th 2023

Am 11. November fuhren meine Mutter und ich zu unserem jährlichen Gansessen nach Engelthal und danach für einen Spaziergang durch Hersbruck. In der Kleinstadt gibt es ein schönes altes Schloss, in dem sich heute das Amtsgericht befindet, und mehrere alte Stadttore. Zwei Jahre nachdem ich in meinen Autoschlüssel eine neue Batterie eingesetzt hatte, war diese an dem Tag leer und ich konnte in unserer Kreisstadt Neumarkt zum Glück Ersatz beschaffen.... read more

Europe » Germany » Hamburg » Hamburg October 25th 2023

About one month ago we started our voyage around the Baltic Sea. The first city we visited was Lübeck, Germany. Then we took the ferry from Kiel (Germany) to Klaipeda (Lithuania). From Lithuania we drove northwards to Latvia and Estonia and back to Latvia again. We took the ferry from Latvia to Sweden. After Sweden followed Denmark. And now we are back in Germany again. It feels as if we are coming home a bit. There is one city we like to see in Germany still: the thriving city of Hamburg. Hamburg Hamburg is not far from Lübeck, the city where we started our journey. Both cities were part of the Hanse league once. But whereas Lübeck emerged unscathed from WW II, Hamburg was devastated almost completely. That is why in Lübeck you still can find ... read more

This morning we had a lovely sail between Linz and Passau, it started as a very cold foggy morning but soon changed into blue skies and a rather pleasant 16oC. I managed to catch up on some work whilst the boat meander along the Danube and navigated a couple of locks. After lunch we arrived in Passau, Leonie took the tour through the town whilst I adventured up the hill to the castle to get the views over the 3 rivers. All good things have to come to an end and this is our last day on the Avalon Endeavour. It has been an amazing week, see new sites and meeting new people. Next stop Verona.... read more

Europe » Germany » Schleswig-Holstein » Lubeck October 16th 2023

It is Tuesday 19th of september and it is far too warm for the time of the year. We are with the three of us. Linda is the navigator, Miss Polo is our unsurpassed vehicle on 4 wheels and I am the one who will drive Miss Polo to a terra which has been incognita for us till now: the Baltic countries. We are on our way to Lübeck, Germany, trying to escape the never ending road works between Bremen and Hamburg. At nine in the morning we left home, somewhere in Schiedam, The Netherlands. The distance is almost 600 kilometers. It is just a little part of the distance we are going to cover the next four weeks. Over 4000 kilometers we will drive. My goodness, that is one tenth of the circumference of our ... read more
