England 2022 (6)
The last entry about England I complained about the drought. That has changed in the last few weeks, there is now often wet gray November weather. Although, even with some rain, for the ground we will still be in a drought for a few months (if average rainfall falls). But, thanks to southerly currents, it’s […]

La Palma 2014 (8)
After I had been able to adapt my fitness to the landscape of La Palma by cycling for a month, I dared the big challenge of cycling towards the summit. However relaxed, I just wanted to see how far I could get. At 2000 meters I made a short excursion on foot towards Las Nieves, […]

Thuringia 2010 (2)
It was good to get out on the day, the colors were just great. And I guess I enjoyed the sunshine in October. Without the picture I would completely miss the memories of the day. But what I’ve been thinking about now is how often I probably wasn’t outside back then, despite the nice weather. […]

Maui 2012 (2)
The last transit of Venus took place in the summer of 2012. As part of this, I had the chance to take part in a workshop that included observing the transit. The accommodation for the workshop was at 1000 meters, on the slopes of Haleakala. And why use a car when you can also rent […]

La Palma 2014 (7)
After my second weekend bike tour on La Palma (described in La Palma (6)) on Saturday, I was already back on my bike on Sunday. I had sent the bike from Germany to La Palma and had to do without it for 3 weeks, apparently I then tried to make up for the bike withdrawal. […]

La Palma 2014 (6)
My second weekend bike tour on La Palma (the first is described in La Palma (5)) led south and steadily uphill again. Since I didn’t want to go back to the west side of the island, I used one of the forest paths back. From then on it was very quiet and I didn’t see […]

England 2020
The view from the bike on a spring bike tour is always great. I found it impressive how many flowers grow on the forest floor.

La Palma 2014 (5)
My first weekend bike tour on La Palma led up the Cumbre along the LP-3, just to see how far I could get. Thanks to the early start, the road was relatively quiet. As a slow cyclist you are otherwise quite an obstacle, as it is not easy for the cars to overtake on the […]

Germany/Switzerland 2014
We visited friends in Switzerland and went there by bike. Crossing the border is also part of it, here we are between the countries and between Waldshut and Koblenz. It’s not the most photogenic place.

Brittany 2013 (3)
During our bike tour in Brittany we spent a night in Normandy, east of Le Mont-Saint-Michel. The tour there was quite flat and so we had time to spend almost 3 hours on Le Mont-Saint-Michel on the way there. We stayed only 6 km away and wanted to go back in the evening. However, not […]
