Saturday, 28th/Sunday, 29th September 2019 – Vaals, Aachen, Ghent, Rotterdam, Home I started Saturday with a run that took in two countries, literally exercising my right to freedom of movement while I still had it. I ran the half mile to the Dutch/German border and then went about a mile into Germany before turning round…

Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals We had another deal where our dinner was included in our room rate, and so we didn’t need to worry too much about where we should go that evening. All we needed to do was get our act together and wander down to the ground…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Waldkirch-Buchholz, Schonach, Triberg, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Waldkirch-Buchholz, Schonach, Triberg, Vaals Most of the day was spent in the car on a variety of German autobahns, peering into clouds of spray and trying not to crash but before that we managed both a small amount of shopping and some sightseeing. First though, one more very good breakfast…

Here’s an approximate map of where we went… I had more to say that has since been added, but there was laundry to…

Saturday, May 5th/Sunday, May 6th – Days 1 and 2, Home, Hull, Rotterdam, Epernay, Etoges After what felt like weeks and weeks of cold, wet, miserable weather we finally started to see some sunshine as we left home on Saturday afternoon to drive to Hull and get the overnight ferry to Rotterdam, from where we…

Travel 2016 – Lübeck, Aalst, Day 19
Day 19 – Saturday 23rd July (Lübeck, Aalst) Moose count = in Germany? What do you think? So technically not Finland anymore but it was part of the trip so it gets the heading anyway… This was the day I seriously questioned the sanity of driving all the way from the top of Germany to…
Travel 2016 – Home, London, Dover, Calais, Timmendorfer Strand, Travemünde, Helsinki, Finland, Days 1 to 3.5
Tuesday 5th July, Day 1 (Home to London) Moose/elk count = 0 (but that’s not surprising geographically. The Home Counties are not known for their moose). This was in some ways the first day of our holiday even though I was working from home, not wanting to go into London and back out only to…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel, Day 3
Sunday, March 5th 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel After another excellent (but egg-avoiding) breakfast, we headed out again, discovering the local market was in full swing. A stop to buy bread was essential although I was impressed that we managed to avoid caving in to our taste-buds and didn’t buy vast amounts of cheese to go…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Vught, Day 2
Friday, March 4th 2016 – Day 2 (S’Hertogenbosch, Vught) A good night’s sleep and we woke to decidedly inclement weather, unfortunately. However, breakfast was in the dry of the hotel undercroft. It was a fairly impressive buffet, though it did come with the semi-compulsory egg that is a feature of everywhere I’ve ever stayed in…
