Happy birthday to me! A birthday in Germany is a first. Usually by this stage of our travels, we’re homeward bound, which most often sees us in France. Chris has a lovely day planned across […]

2018 Day 51 – Konstanz
We leave the gorgeous greenery of Schwarzwald this morning, following the scenic drive recommended in our old school map. And by old school, I mean paper. Endlessly frustrating for not showing you exactly where you […]
2018 Day 50 – Eguisheim & Schwarzwald
Eguisheim is just too lovely to give up the opportunity for another walk through the village, this time in the softer, morning light. It really is quite magical – I’m surprised it hasn’t made its […]
2018 Day 49 – Eguscheim
We’ve saved one of the prettiest Les Plus Beaux Villages for last. Eguisheim is set in the heart of the Alsace wine region, an area of some 170 kilometres set at the foothills of the […]
2018 Day 47 – Strasbourg
It’s always a shock to hit city traffic when you’ve been in the country for a while. It’s very easy, without day to day stresses, to slip into a slower pace of life. It’s a […]
2018 Day 46 – The Rhine
We leave our magical forest setting this morning, Strasbourg bound. It’s fascinating to know that these forests are selectively logged and horrifying to see how many trees are actually taken, on our way out. The […]

2018 Day 44 – Saint Quirin
We spend the morning driving though the stunning Vosges forest of Alsace-Lorraine. They’re very reminiscent of Scandinavia’s tall growth forests full of beech, larch and spruce. There are places I feel most at peace. Over […]
2018 Day 40 – Verdun
Another glorious day in the beautiful Verdun. We explore the right bank this morning – it seems much more residential than the old city, on the left bank. Even so, there’s still plenty to see: […]
2018 Day 39 – l’Epine and Verdun
We bid a fond adieu to the Champagne area this morning, resuming our journey east. Landscapes change swiftly and dramatically, the endless vine plantings give way to cleared farmland on open plains. Champagne still has […]
