Taking advantage of the brief moments without rain to take two or three photos, we crossed the Alps and are inevitably approaching the finish line. This week, we followed the diminishing reliefs of the Alps until the Rhône Delta to end the week surrounded by water and flamingos, in the Camargue National Reserve…
The week started at the foot of the Alpine glaciers and ended, after a tour of the Italian great lakes… in an Iveco workshop! After more than 30.000 km without complaining, Marvin had a small burnout. But nothing serious! We are back in the mountains already!…
The week started with an invasion of thumbtacks that drove us out of our riverbed. Luckily, the Dolomites are still as wonderful as ever and we spent two days there among spectacular mountains. Bad weather pushed us south, but to end the week on a high note, we are back above 1.700m…
Four countries in one week! We left Budapest just before storm Boris hit, skirted Lake Balaton to Croatia where we spent a night by the Drava River, drove through Slovenia from east to northwest, and arrived in Italy for the weekend…

This week, we have explored the past with our pass through Russia and very visible remains of the Soviet era all over Latvia.

A week wandering on the west coast of Estonia, along the Baltic Sea. For a change from the mainland, we “hopped” to the island of Saaremaa before continuing our journey south.…
