Alone on the road … deciding each day what we want to do, what to cook and where to watch the evening sky. That is what we love to do and that is how we ended up in Morocco. No exact route planned in advance…only Elmer’s ten-year-old Morocco memories guiding us. No ferry booked beforehand […]

Hedgerows We love Wales. Its beauty has surprised us in many ways (wait until you see the pictures & video). But there is a major downside to traveling through Wales when your vehicle is wider than a living horse-powered carriage, which once frequented these scenic roads. 450.000 km of hedgerows criss-cross the UK’s countryside. Their […]

The video (HD option) portrays part of the Eastern Highlands. Scotland’s warm soul Most of the pictures in the video are taken in Aberdeenshire & the Cairngorms National Park.

Loch an Eilein We wake up 100metres from Loch an Eilein, located within the Cairngorm National Nature Reserve. The sun is already out.
