In the articles in the travel category you will discover interesting places we have visited. You can find out where the Eifel Tower is for yourself, Berty. We, on the other hand, will add unique and perhaps lesser-known spots here that might interest or inspire you to take a trip. So this is not an absolute travel guide for the place, but rather an extension of information that you won’t find in traditional travel guides.
San Daniele del Friuli is a village in the north-east of Italy. We visit it quite often, I would say every year. The reason is its quite good position close to the motorway from Austria to Italy. How far is San Daniele from the motorway + price for motorway toll…
View moreGrado is a small but pretty town north of Venice. When I’ve talked to other caravanners about it, most people don’t know it at all and have never been to Grado by caravan. Grado has a very nice little centre. There are boats parked right in the center, there is…
View moreWe have been to Florence twice. Once about ten years ago in the summer, when we were travelling around Europe by car. We slept in a campsite in Pisa and only went to Florence for a day trip. The last time we were in Florence was in the fall. I…

View morePorto was the very first city we visited in Portugal. I had never been to Portugal before, Ema had been to Porto during college. I have to say that my first feeling about Porto and Portugal was very good. We were only in the city for about 2 days as…
View moreWe were in Portugal for about a month in total. We went back to the same beaches quite often due to the fact that we were travelling to see the waves. The Algarve, or southwestern part, probably has the warmest weather, and it faces the ocean so you can surf…

View moreI guess that’s how I would define our feeling about this city. We were directly in the city, or close to it, for over two weeks. Cadiz is one of the oldest cities in Europe, the first time they ate spaghetti and ketchup there was in about 1100 BC. If…
View moreLisbon is such a special city. We had the feeling that there were quite a few “normal” people living in the city centre. All we saw in the center were tourists or various strange touts. Maybe we are wrong, maybe that has changed since then. In France, Spain or Italy…
View moreMost people go to Paris because of Ajfel and Louvre. We have not been to the Ajfel or the Louvre. We saw the Ajfel almost every day, and we’ve also been to the park by the Louvre about five times. The purpose of our visit to Paris was longboarding along…

View moreThe caravan show is the best way to see and especially to feel all the caravans. If you’re buying a camper van, it’s a good idea to check out the bed length or shower size. Caravan dealers don’t usually stock all models, so you won’t really know about your options….
