Spain
Spain is where our journey began in 2022. When you think of Spain, you automatically think of beaches, Barcelona, Ibiza and party people. But Spain has a lot more to offer than just that. The nature in Spain surprised us a lot. Diverse & beautiful. In addition, of course, the many beautiful hours of sunshine. The region of Galicia has done it to us the most. Wonderful beaches, few people, great atmosphere. We enjoyed our time in Spain very much and got to know many lovely people there. Who knows what the future will bring, but we can very well imagine to go to Spain again for a longer time. There is still so much we have not seen.
Portugal
A little more than 3 weeks we were in Portugal. Very nice people, the beaches fantastic. We were especially surprised about how well the people there speak English.
England
Our plan was 4 weeks east coast up, then 4 weeks Scotland and then again 4 weeks down the west coast. But nothing came of it, because we were a little longer in Scotland. But that does not mean that we did not like it in England, no on the contrary. The English are super nice people, we also liked the nature very much. It is just partly a bit crowded in this England, but the further north, the better it gets. We were lucky and had almost the whole time in August wonderful weather and really warm. In addition we met great people. We will surely come back one day, because there are still so many things we would like to see.
Scotland
What a great country. What great people. Nowhere on our trip did we talk to locals as much as we did in Scotland. The Scots come up to you, chat you up, it's just wonderful. It's hard to imagine if you haven't experienced it yourself. No matter where we were, we felt super comfortable everywhere. Add to that the changing weather, the different lights. Simply wonderful. We will be back. Promised.
Germany
Although we soon spent most of our time in Germany, we have seen almost nothing of the country itself. But we have visited many friends & family. And of course our first work-away was here. But we will definitely see more of Germany in the future and discover many great places.
France
France was for us so far mainly transit country with the exception of a week in Normandy. The few campsites that we have seen, but were all great and we have met a few small nice villages. Someday we will take more time for France, because there is certainly a lot to admire.
The Netherlands
In Holland we were allowed to take a private boat tour of Amsterdam with Taina and Theo. It was a wonderful day that we will certainly not forget so quickly. The rest of the time we waited for spare parts for our camper. Thus, we have not really seen much else of Holland.
Belgium
Belgium was also only a transit country on the way to Normandy. We spent a few days on a small cozy campsite. It was super hot and we could relax there prima.
