Part 1: Mindset En Bretagne, il ne pleut que sur les cons. In Brittany, it only rains on idiots.

Thursday comes and is accompanied by a hurricane. We think of the most exposed lift that might be closed and smile: Having planned a ski tour anyway – fell under ski and walking up with pure fitness, ha, who needs lifts?! For about half an hour, half of the ski region opens up. Other guests…

EXPECT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR, BUT THE BEST IN GENERAL. That is my preferred approach to life, and it rewards me with beauty and snow and all the rest. Together with my sister, we spend a full week skiing the Alps. Between Hausberg and Kreuzeck, we are located in our preferred place in Garmisch Classic ski…

While the route along the shore is closed down for construction, the alternative is pretty okay as well. In the banlieus of La…

It is unusual for Hector to stay in one place for such a long time. Today, we move on and settle down in Rivedoux, the village right at the beginning of the island. Le Pont = the bridge is always in sight. My wonderful van yearns for the beach, and even though our campsite is…

Far from being spectacular, La Couarde sur Mer is charming and an excellent base for my stay on Île de Ré. The tiny center consists of a handful of shops, a church and the place des voisins sympas = square of pleasant neighbours. The square counts a carousel, a café and a salon de thé…
