Austria

ÖsterreichArrival: 06/12/2017 - Departure: 26/01/2018

We visited Vienna early December, under a freezing wind.
We then stayed for six weeks at our workaway host in the west of the country.
We had a great time with the kids and did some woodwork, DIY and painting.
We were able to enjoy the snow for Christmas on the slopes of the Salzkammergut.
We spent New Year's Eve on the roof of Travis, surrounded by thousands of fireworks.
We also discovered pretty picturesque villages and local customs of the feast of kings.

Next step: Germany.

Let's talk about our return to France, about two and a half months ago. After quickly crossing the Netherlands and Belgium, we crossed the French border at the end of August, which left us with a strange feeling. Sad to realize that the journey is coming to an end, proud to have traveled these 25,000 km and to have discovered so many wonderful places in Europe, and a bit disgusted to "go back home" to our country, which w...

Last time in Germany

This time, we went back on the roads we already knew. After Poland, we drove through the Czech Republic for a one night stop. Then, heading to Königstein, where we stayed 3 weeks last winter as workawayers in a backpacker. A few days to enjoy hiking by warm weather, going for a bike ride, going kayaking. And here we go again towards France, towards the west, then. Short break in Hainich National Park, with museum ...

One year ago, we were just leaving the south of France for a long journey aboard our fitted van, a.k.a our dear Travis! Almost 30 000 km later, we are once more sedentary people, as long as we need to save a bit of money and put our new projects live. In 365 days, we went through 20 countries, took thousands of photos, met some cool people and some less cool ones. But above all, we lived. That's why it's so hard for us to explain ou...

Visiting western Poland

14/10/2018 | Koala & Cerise

Poland, here we are for the second time, and this time, plenty of things to do. At first we plunged back into the Viking universe with the world biggest gathering of Vikings (more than 600) and a very large market in the former Viking village of Wolin (the only island in Poland). We were able to put on our beautiful clothes again. We met again with the Ours d'Alfadir camp (from Poitiers) that we had already met at the Moesgård (Danish Viking f...

Short stay in northern Germany

11/09/2018 | Koala & Cerise

Back on our short stay in northern Germany. In order to join Poland from Denmark, we had to go again in Germanic lands. There we could discover the town of Hedeby (Haithabu), not being able to leave the Viking universe for too long. Hedeby is now in Germany, but once belonged to Danish territory. It was a large merchant center founded by Harald Blåtand during the Viking era, the village was surrounded by a huge dike 5 to 10m ...
