April 12 - April 29 2021; 6826 nm and 770 days after departure from La Rochelle. I'm almost surprised myself😉 that we could do so many things since we arrived in Tyrrel bay. After a couple of days the ash from the volcano was gone and we could enjoy the island life. We had beautiful …
March 24 - April 11 2021; 6821 nm and 752 days after departure from La Rochelle. Probably not, but for us it felt a little like it. Surly there will be even more stunning places but for a start we were flashed. We spent some amazing days at Saline island, a cute little islet between …
March 08 - March 23 2021; 6783 nm and 733 days after departure from La Rochelle. Isn't that a sweet name for a street? "Lovers Lane", I thought it kind of represents how the Grenadian people are. So far we only met nice and very friendly people. Yeah, sure, you always find some grumpy ones …
February 12 - March 07 2021; 6783 nm and 717 days after departure from La Rochelle. Finally free! After waiting under the tent (see blog pic) for a couple of hours we got our neg results and could finish the customs/immigration procedure. Waiting for the results was in fact not as bad as it might …

December 05 - December 30 2020; 3767 nm and 650 days after departure from La Rochelle. Here it comes, a little late but still! The view of how our dear daughter felt about visiting us😁: After a long 1.5 years you once more get the pleasure of indulging into one of my famous pieces of …
November 14 - December 05 2020; 3755 nm and 625 days after departure from La Rochelle. Yesterday at the same time (it is 3pm just now) I was in the best mood! I was so excited, I just couldn't hide it. So happy, as we were expecting Jana and Benoit coming to visit us already …
November 04 - November 13 2020; 3613 nm and 603 days after departure from La Rochelle. Leaving La Graciosa was not only due to the bad weather system forecasted to come in. The main reason was to meet our friends from La Rochelle, Paulyne and Rob, which we haven't seen since mid February 2020. After …
