July 25th, it is 2 p.m. and we cross the border without stopping. Finally, after a three-hour drive, we arrive at our Ibis hotel in Saint-Dizier, France. We just say goodnight to our pillows and fall asleep quickly. ​July 26th, after about 6 hours in our car, we arrive in Draveil, a suburb city of Paris. Here we spend the next 3 nights in a B&B with a French / Portuguese family. The garden, wit...

July 21st. 7:30 a.m. and the construction workers start to make noise above our room. We do not need anything for breakfast, Pablo receives a small coffee as an apology for the noise when he checks out. In 5 minutes, we will be at the border. As always, there are not many cars today. It is guarded, but the passports are of no interest to the border, he prefers to investigate the trunk to make s...

July 12th, today we are on our 4 wheels for 5 hours. The next border is waiting for us. After so many border crossings we should be used to it, but every time we get nervous again, only because of the new regulations after the Covid pandemic. As of today, we are back in the Schengen area. This is important for us as Swiss citizen because our country is not in the European Union, but many EU cou...

July 2nd, late afternoon, we are crossing the border into Romania. It has about 5 cars in line. Immediately after the border we stop to buy a Ronvinieta (we do not want to get another fine like in Bulgaria). At 6pm, we check in with a couchsurfer in Constanta. We arrive around 5 p.m. as we said, but unfortunately, he is not yet back from work. So, we explore the area and withdraw some cash (RON...

June 23rd. It’s afternoon and we are coming to the border of Bulgaria. We are amazed of how many trucks are standing on the roadside and are waiting to get across the border. Fortunately, the car line is not that bad. We have about 6 cars in front of us and we are making rapid progress. Passport, ID, and vehicle ID are controlled, a little look into the car, greeting the children and we are thr...

April 27 - May 3. We are looking forward to the last week. The joy of lifting the spears is great, finally you can move around again without papers (so shopping is fun again 😊). Spring and the blooms in the garden are a blessing... family-chanpab.weebly.com/globe-trotting/chapter-11-greece-part-3

February 26, 6:30 a.m., our ferry arrives in Heraklion after 9.5 hours and 160km. We have landed on an island again. Crete is the largest island in Greece. It has a proud 1066 km of coastline and 623,065 inhabitants. The exciting thing about this island is that it has been inhabited for 130,000 years. ​On our trip to Aptera we are amazed at how hilly this island is. We marvel the snow mountains...

anuary 29 7:20 p.m., our Ford Transit with the registration BE 862 ... drives into the belly of the Grimaldi Lines. At 7.45 p.m. we move into cabin 679 and look forward to a 16h trip to Patras. The captain starts the engines at 9 p.m. and at 9:10 p.m. we move. Soon, we sink into a deep sleep, riding a ferry is not exciting for us anymore 😉. family-chanpab.weebly.com/globe-trotting/chapter-9-gre...
