As we are coming closer to the main rainy season in East Africa, starting at the end of March, and our tyres are really “end of life cycle” after about 45.000 km, we decided to invest in a new set of BF Goodrich AT. Over the iOverlander app, we found Beate and Robert (ondjila-travel.com) in …
As I check every day the wheels and chassis of our Sprinter, I found that both distance blocks of our rear suspension had moved. No surprise after 6000 Km on African roads and no real problem, but needed to be fixed before breakfast. And yes, Airfilter change and oil check! Let’s start ….
After our last night in Armenia, we got the chance to do a good deed, by helping fellow travellers out of a ditch. We had spent the night above the valley of the river Debed near Chochkan, just 15 km from the border. The evening before we had our PCR test done and we will …
As we check every day our tires in the morning, we recognised a loss of preasure on one of our rear tires. With the on board compressor we filled up, but we lost about 50% every day, so we decided to fix the problem. A “tubeless tire repair set” with rubber stoppers which we carry …
As we were aware that the roads in northern Romania and Moldova will be challenging, we updated our rear shocks in advance at our service stop in Austria. We knew that the weak point is the upper bolt supporting the shock at the frame. We already had one broken bolt after our Scandinavian expedition in …

With Dogliani we had reached the wine area of Piemonte, an area we had visited many times to eat, drink and buy wine. As it was our wedding anniversary, we looked for a nice restaurant, something which is easy to find in this region. A very famous son of this town is Michele Ferrero, born …
In Spanish restaurants you will often find, that you can choose between fish or meat, that’s it! Salads are always on offer, but usually some kind of meat or fish is a part of it. And when you order a bocadillo vegetal, it usually contains tuna, which doesn’t help either. But of course, you will …
3 years since we left Jávea, 3 years living on 10 square metres, 3 years of travelling non-stop through Europe (Corona kept us here), 3 years during which we explored 34 countries. For sure something we wanted to celebrate! We are at the beautiful Costa de la Luz, enjoying the coastline, the beaches, the sea …
We are now more than 1000 days on the road and always try our best to find spectacular spots. After traveling through 34 countries and driving 100 000 kilometres, we know, that only about 3 percent are gravel road and a tiny part of it are really challenging off road passages. As we are driving …
Parked directly in the dunes behind Simos beach, we enjoyed the fine weather and incredible beach together with fellow travellers. Besides of strolls along the beach and excursions through the dunes, we went to explore a nearby cave. The cave for sure was used for a long time already. In front are terraces and stairs, …
