We spent a really nice day in Reims yesterday with both sightseeing and champagne tasting. Today we continued on our journey with the end destination Metz. On the way we did, however, make one longer stop. That was in the town of Verdun, famous from the trench battles of the first world war. It is…
This morning the sun woke us up in the Capital of the Champagne region – Reims. We slept quite later after the long day of driving yesterday, but we looked forward to exploring this new French city. We had also arranged with our host so that she had booked a tour at one of the…
It is now one week into our journey and we are currently in France. I’ve never been here before, so it’s exciting! We drove south from Hasselt this morning and made a stop in Namur before lunchtime. We crossed the border into France a few hours later and soon arrived in the small town of…
We are continuing south today. We left Hasselt at around 8 this morning and our final destination Reims in France. On the way, we have planned two stops. The first of them is Namur – the capital of Wallonia. The stop is to both stretch our legs, let Little A get some fresh air as…
It is the last evening for us here in Hasselt. It has been three nice days here in Belgium, but tomorrow the adventure will continue in neighboring France. How about today? This has been a day for relaxing. We decided to sleep longer than normal and we have spent the day taking short walks here…
This morning we went on a day trip to Maastricht in the Netherlands. As it was close to where we are staying in Hasselt it didn’t take long to drive there. Once we were satisfied and thought about leaving we still had a lot of time left of the day. So instead of going directly back…
On the fifth day of our road trip, we decided to visit the birthplace of the European Union – Maastricht. This town in the southeastern Netherlands is only 30 minutes away from Hasselt, so we thought it’d be an interesting day for a visit. Maastricht: What We Saw and What We Did We arrived in…
Have you ever heard of Hasselt? Neither had we before we decided to go there. Now we are happily installed here for a few days before continuing to France. Our first day here was very pleasant – we walked a lot even though it was a really warm day. Both Jesper and I think that…
Good bye Germany for now. We left Lübeck early this morning and headed southwest towards Belgium. Our destination for the night was Hasselt, a small town in northeastern Belgium. But there was one stop to do before crossing the border. That was to stop in the German town Bielefeld to meet up with an old…
Once upon a time, it was the leading city of the Hanseatic League. Today Lübeck is a picturesque town in northern Germany and the first “proper” stop on our road trip to France. I have been to Lübeck once before, I can’t have been more than seven or eight years old, so needless to say: I don’t…
Finally, now that we have settled in our room for the night in Lübeck, it’s time to write a short summary of the boat trip from Malmö to Travemünde. We also had some time to take a walk in this German beach town earlier tonight, so here are our impressions. From Malmö to Travemünde with…
We have finally left Sweden and are currently on a ferry on our way to Travemünde in Germany. The ferry left Malmö a little over an hour ago. We arrived in the harbor half an hour before the check-in opened and had to spend some time waiting. Luckily it wasn’t that long before we were…
