Welcome to Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is a small country, belongs to the United Kingdom, not to Great Britain. That’s what we’ve learned. We did not know much about Northern Ireland before we were visiting, but now we know: worth a visit! The nature and all the cliffs are really impressive and the people mostly friendly.

Welcome to GB: Wales

From Bristol, where we tried to get our wing mirror fixed, we drove to Wales. A country we did not know much about. Or anything at all. The weather was still nice when we were driving over a bridge which was the English-Welsh-Boarder at the same time. No boarder controls, no obvious signs, no big…

Welcome to Great Britain: England

On the 24th of September we started our trip through Great Britain. As we arrived in Dover with the ferry, we started driving South England from that point on. We arrived in the middle of the night and parked somewhere in a park to enjoy some hours of sleep. When we woke up, the sky…

Oswald’s first ferry ride

Calais. Probably a French city you have heard about during the European refugee crises. We didn’t see much of it, but it was the place where we met again. I came up from the South of France from a relaxing week of family vacation while Felix and Tim drove over from Belgium. Plus, our second…
