After our improvised dinner at the campsite we went to bed early. We hoped to keep the warmth in our sleeping bags. When we closed our eyes around 21 o´clock we were quite confident to get through the frosty night. It went good until around 3 or 4 o´clock when the temperature fell below 0°C. Also the tent was frozen…
On our rest day we slept quite long and had a late big breakfast. After some quick laundry we decided to go the beach as the sun was shining. There is a little nature reserve right at the beach in Vejbystrand where we walked through. Alina wanted to take some photographs of the goats living there (according to google...). However,…
After a very comfortable night at the Villa Lindell we took a slow start. We were the only guests, so we had the living room for us alone and started with a big breakfast. It was so nice to see the sun shining after our snowy tour the day before. So we were happy when we finally got our bicycles…
The campsite in Borstahusen was really a nice place, well equipped, clean, and very comfortable. And as our first stage was very intense we decided to stay three nights instead of only one as planned before. The first night in our tent was really stormy. The tent shaked in the wind from side to side and it was so loud…
The week in Skanör flew away so fast with a lot of relaxing and kind of binch watching Brooklyn Nine Nine on Netflix. But we also visited some interesting spots in and around Skanör. One day we went to the beach of Skanör with a lot of nature reserve area for all kind of birds. The weather was sunny but…
When we started planning our Sabbatical more than two years ago, we imagined to start cycling southward and to spend our first weeks in France and Italy. But then the Corona pandemic hit and over a year there were ups and downs if travelling is possible or not. Also it was and is very uncertain when the pandemic will end.…
On former trips in other countries such as Japan or New Zealand we always depended on the bike setup possible to rent on-site. Thus, it was mostly a compromise and not in all points what each of us would have preferred as an optimal setup. So for our big adventure we decided the bikes should be the best and suitable…
If you are on your bike and have to climb tough mountains you will be happy about every gramm less to carry with you. I think we all align on that 😉. Thus, one aspect in choosing what equipment to take with you is weight. The other one, of course is the packing size. Because everything should be more or…
Did you ever feel like rushing through your vacation as you have "only" 2 to 3 weeks of free time? We found ourselfs several times at this point and searched for an option to have more time and really do slow travelling. The idea of a sabbatical is coming more and more into companies. So, two years ago we heard…
After the nice and warm evening yesterday in Neckargemünd we did not expect such a cold night and morning. Thanks to our low temperature sleeping bag we did not freeze. But after we got up the icy air hit us into the face. You could see the mist above the river. But at least it was nice to observe and…
