Three of us on the road in wild and beautiful Bulgaria

  By ,

We would never have thought that we would find a four-legged companion again in Bulgaria of all places. Romania had been THE dog country – stray dogs everywhere, in almost every street bay, where the unfortunately unavoidable rubbish collected. In Bulgaria, too, there are these littered bays, but without dogs. And the free-living dogs we see in cities often have a tag in their ear. This probably means that they have been castrated and vaccinated. Very sensible! In this respect,… Read more…

Where the jackals howl…

  By ,

Bulgaria – what do you know about this country? What associations do you have? Probably very few, perhaps of a political nature or that there is a rather well-known “party mile” on the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Or that Bulgaria is the financially weakest EU country. We at least knew virtually nothing about this country. No one had ever told us about Bulgaria or had even been there before. Obviously there is nothing to report about a country that you… Read more…

Volcanoes, beaches and the hustle and bustle of the capital – the last weeks in Romania

  By ,

  From Brasov we cross the Eastern Carpathians to continue towards the Black Sea. Our destination for the day is the mud volcanoes of Berca! The destination was actually intended more as a stopover, but Chris’ digestive system thinks it needs to go into maintenance mode. I wonder if the sea buckthorn berries bought the day before at the street vendor have something to do with it 😉 Well, this question remains unanswered, but we spend more than a week… Read more…

Drum bun – “Safe journey” Part 2: Transylvanian Towns and Villages

  By ,

Our drive through Transylvania takes us through many smaller and larger villages and towns. These make a very welcoming and warm impression on us with their always colourful façades in all kinds of colours and their often well-restored appearance. In many cases, rose bushes or other colourful flowers are planted along the roadsides, and the whole village scene looks very well-kept and friendly to us. Not at all like the fantasy images we had in our heads when we thought… Read more…

Drum Bun – “Safe journey” Part 1: Transylvania and the fortified churches

  By ,

Romania – so here we are! We were very excited and looking forward to it – after all, we have never heard so much about any other country, especially so many contradictory things. But we already knew that some travellers are totally enthusiastic about it and were accordingly open and curious about the country. It is also the first country of our trip that is impressively large – so it is already clear that we think and choose even more… Read more…

Surprisingly beautiful: Hungary!

  By ,

Entering a previously unknown country is sometimes an exciting thing. Since the beginning of 2020, it has once again been possible to “enjoy” this thrill within the EU and the Schengen area. For a long time, border crossings usually went unnoticed, but now entry forms, passports and confirmations of all kinds are once again welcome. At least that is the information on the website of the German Foreign Office regarding entry into the next country in mind – Croatia. Whether… Read more…

Goodbye little village, hello world!

With that, a warm welcome to our digital home! Here you will find news from us at irregular intervals. Be it about the final expansion of our motorhome “Silvio” or the next steps into “world life”.

In our case, this means that… Read more…
