The Plitvice Lakes were just high up on the bucket list and in July 2018 it was the right time to go. With Motorhome and bicycle. The views were breathtaking, the waterfalls energizing, the lakes tranquilizing and the whole day a gift from God.





















































































We travel to compare our imagination with reality.

Originally my plan was to take my motor home and travel to the Delta of the River Danube in Romania. But I was not sure about opening times of Camping Sites in April and became nervous to explore uncharted territory on my own. Therefore a better known and also very attractive destination got a chance: Sicily. In hindsight I should have taken more time for all sections of the trip: driving down, around the island and back up. I did it in about nine days. 3+3+3…

As Andalusia was high on the bucket list for a long time, we decided to try a group tour with a bus and travel guide. A full inclusive program including the flights to and from Madrid, the bus tour and all accommodation and entry tickets. It was a good idea. You go to so many places that organizing this all on your own would have been a major exercise. What a journey.

My son Gerald lived with his family in Singapore for three years. A great opportunity to visit a place which might not have been so high on the bucket list. It was worthwhile every minute. Cambodia with its famos “Angkor Wat” was nearby and we included that venue.

I lived in the UK in Birmingham and Oxford from 1996 to 2002. I visited Scotland twice during that period. In 2012 it was time to go back with my wife Ingrid. Scotland has so much charm, charisma, history, culture, traditions, countrysides from another universe and much more. The attentive reader might discover, that I returned again in 2019.
We started in Edinburgh, took a rental car and went up north.We visited Inverness and Loch Ness, some coastal beaches, castles and a whisky distillery (Glen Fiddich). The detailed route and sequence of events has been lost in the fog of time 🙁
