Making the best of some cold and rainy days, we waited patiently in front of the castle above Neapoli for a little sun to explore it. Otherwise we got some work done, cooked and crocheted (not Edi 😉 ), read and watched videos of people who had travelled where we want to go too. But …
Greece has so much to offer and the more remote parts still have their “secret” spots like this lovely bay with 2 taverns and not much more, just a long beach and some fisher boats in the next little bay. It was still lockdown but the innkeeper assured as, that we can have lunch at …
After our hikes through the mountains of the Peloponnese, we decided it was time for some cleaning and stocking up in a bigger city. So we drove to Corinth, where we know a truck wash we used before. (37.922570, 22.883781) They also have Adblue at a good price. On the way to Corinth we made …
In the mountain village of Andritsena, a market is held every Friday, where local farmers sell their products. A good opportunity to stock up on fruit and veggies. There are also a couple of shops including a supermarket, so everything you need you can buy here and support the locals. Much more fun than going …

When we visited friends in Vienna and were pampered with a delicious Thai curry, the desire was fired up to make a curry ourselves again. Since we often do not have the opportunity to get many fancy ingredients, we use a curry paste and coconut milk as main ingredients. The veggies we use vary, depending …
We were crossing through a region called Salzkammergut, and when you don’t know what that is, I can quote the description from the Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, from 1888: “The landscape is one of the most beautiful parts of the German Alps, with lovely, laughing areas, friendly towns and castles, great mountain basins with dark green lakes, …
A lot of snow had arrived in the South of Austria and we decided to head to the province of Carinthia (Kärnten). On the way we had to cross the mountains at Obertauern and decided to make our first stop here to explore the big skiing area. The many parkings in Obertauern were empty but …
To celebrate the end of the year 2020 we wanted to do something special, and mountains covered in snow sounded fabulous. We could even meet with friends who just finished their own expedition vehicle this year. See their project: www.exploremog.com A perfect place to celebrate: the Tauplitz is a high plateau in the middle of …
