We had stopped at the Kisolanza Farm Campsite where we went on a hike, to their café and farm stall and had a lovely dinner. Our next stop was the Isimila Stone Age Site not far from Iringa, the next town on our way east. We had read that there are also natural stone pillars, …
South of Mbeya lies the second largest crater lake in Africa: the Ngosi Crater Lake at 2622 metres. A road takes you up into the mountains where the hike starts. We had read that it was a difficult 4×4 route, so we were not sure at all if we could drive up with our car. …
At the Waterberg National Park, we shared our campsite (and accidentally our food) with numerous baboons, but we came here to climb the cliffs of the Waterberg and enjoy the view from the top. We didn’t even see them coming, had they already stolen a bag of apples from the inside of the pickup. The …
On the way from Swakopmund to Windhoek, we stopped at the Erongo Mountains to visit the granite boulders at the Ameib farm and also have a look at some rock paintings at Philipp’s Cave. The farm has a campsite, so we stayed there for 2 nights. If you can, book their special bush camp between …
Near Berseba, a very impressive crater stands out of the plain. We learned that it is not a volcano, but caused by an explosion. We went to explore it on a hike. The Brukkaros is over 650 metres taller than the surrounding area, and the crater floor lies 350 m below the rim. The mountain is …
From our superb spot at the Sunday river, we drove east to Cannon Rocks, where the Cannon Trail took us through the dense vegetation of the Woody Cape and to the endless sand dunes. From our camping at Cannon Rocks it was a short walk to the start of the hike, which led us into …
We had found this hike to the “Seven mills valley” on a Rother guide, and decided to use the good weather to enjoy this beautiful valley just south of Stuttgart. We are now on the way back to Belgium, where we will drop our camper at the harbour of Antwerp in a couple of days, …
In Bavaria we stopped by at our apartment near Freyung, which doesn’t see us very often, visited a school friend of Edi and had enough time for a hike south of Augsburg. We started from Mittelneufnach, did a big circle to Oberneufnach, where we visited the lookout tower named after Christoph Scheiner – more about …
We were hoping to be able to visit the Vatican in Rome, before our Green Pass expires, so we just stopped at Gaeta for a short visit and drove on. When we wanted to check in at a camping in the big city, our Green Pass turned red for the first time – very annoying! …
After spending the night outside of Taranto, we found a parking near the old town and went for a walk. The historic centre lies on an island, separating the Mare Piccolo (more like a big lagoon) and the Mare Grande (the sea), a perfect location for a town with a secure harbour. Founded by Spartans …
