Several Trips to France

Arbeit, etliche Stunden Arbeit nagen an meiner verfügbaren Zeit. Was zu kurz kommt? Ein ausgefülltes Sozialleben und Sport. Zum Glück habe ich ein Geburtstagsgeschenk erhalten, dass bereits Wochen vor dem großen Tag einsatzfähig ist: Ein Balance Board = Surfen auf der Rolle. Oder von der Rolle, je nachdem… Work, a truck load of work eats…

Der Eisbach. Unendliche Strömung, weit durch den Englischen Garten. Berühmt-berüchtigt und Bürgerpflicht für die Bewohner Münchens: Reinspringen und sich treiben lassen. Kenner tragen dabei fest sitzende Badebekleidung. Munich’s Eisbach is famous for the idyllic scenery in the best parts of the “Englischer Garten” and for its strong current. I consider it a duty for all…

Der Schlüssel zu einem effektiven Camping-Urlaub liegt in der Routen-Planung. Bloß keinen Kilometer zu viel fahren, alles durchtakten, am besten gleich vollständig reservieren. Proper route planning is key to effective camping holidays. Avoid back-and-forth-kilometres, reserve all campsites and once you try that, wait and see what Hector makes out of it. Das könnte ich zwar…

Weeks ago, I reserved a pitch on the most expensive campsite ever: roughly 83,- EUR. Per night. For 1 Hector and 1 Lady. This being set, the overwhelming decoration with thousands of flags is the minimum I could expect. Only in the improbable case that the queen comes by for her platinum jubilee, she might…

Last night I have dreamed of driving on the left side of the road, meaning that my mindset is ready for today’s adventure. With all the “Left!” signs pinned to my cockpit, it is hard to focus on right-side-driving when approaching the port of Roscoff. Hector’s head lamps got some stickers that shall prevent dazzling…

Bretagne is beautiful and worth travelling. So far, I have only seen fragments of it. Yet, lucky me, I have a wonderful guest and she is all about sun, sea and a sandy beach. Of course, the decision has nothing to do with my brand-new surfboard. Anyway, we find ourselves at my favourite bay and…

Time to follow some more of Comissaire Dupin traces: Approaching Tregastel as close as possible, my internet research reveals a campsite at the Côte de Granit Rose. While Southern and Western parts of the Bretagne have been blessed with low season, the Northern parts are far from developing anything like a season. The rocks are…

It is amazing what the internet reveals. Days later, the mix of pictures, distance to the beach and proximity to the next village will draw a distorted image of the real scenery. Before learning that, the very same approach leads me here: The most beautiful bay, offering waves with high tide and 3,5 km walking…

The fifth crime being solved by Commissaire Dupin leads him to the Île de Sein. At average only 1,5m above sea level, the entire island is quite exposed to wind, storms and sea-level rise. Christianisation came late, but then they took it seriously – hence, the highest point (11m) of the île is occupied by…

So far, so Hector: the first 10 days have rewarded my van with wonderful places. At the beach (Île-Tudy, Camping Municipal), surrounded by nature (Camping du Littoral) and now on a rocky high pleateau, surrounded by deep-blue sea. From his perspective, this is so worth the overnight-fee of 15,- EUR at Pointe du Raz =…
