Sadly my first picture of the day was a traffic wreck. We had just got off the Texel ferry, while waiting in traffic, we heard a loud crash and saw a person flying through the air, then tumbling across the asphalt and she landed beside our car on the pavement. It was horrific. A 23 …

Texel was actually one of the few places I specifically asked to visit in Europe. I read about it in Coastal Living Magazine and it sounded just the place I would want to see. I was right because I sure know me. : ) Most our time was spent riding around exploring every road we …

Our taxi driver picked us up and I immediately complimented his driving skills and he told us he had only been driving for four days. He was educated at university and had just found a part-time job in his field, but he said he did not like staying home to be lazy, so he began …

Han and I had the greatest night’s sleep. We blasted the airco and snuggled down under the blanket. We had some coffee, packed up, met up with Niki and Mia and got on our way. We decided to be simple and cheap today, which led us to McDonalds for breakfast. Now if anyone knows Han, …

We (Han, Niki, Mia and myself) took off for Salzburg today about 300km to the west and encountered some beautiful countryside with charming homes and farms along the way. Stopped at a roadside eatery for lunch called Landzeit Market. If you ever see one, keep on going. It is a tourist trap with subpar food …
