Con la Furgo en el Camino – Asturias
As we left the Basque Country, we had high hopes for what was coming up. There's not much of a plan but we we were very excited about the province of Asturias after reading a really good blog about it. First we'd be going through the province…
Con la Furgo en el Camino – Euskadi
Part of why I didn't post much since the tour in Australia, is because I have been so busy preparing for this trip in my van with Jolien: our vague plan is to drive to Spain and slowly head to Santiago, from where she flies back due to work…
Winter Van Trip
Despite misty, cold weather forecasts, Jolien and me had planned to go on a little week-long roadtrip in my van for her end-of-the-year time off. After my return from Africa I had been busy with a work trip (not for Edelweiss this time) to Stockholm…

Carlo and Max went for breakfast somewhere else and got offered some roses by their waiter on this romantic date. We used them…
To Africa: Madrid – Ouezzane
Continuing on from Madrid, our plan was to take the ferry to Morocco the next day.
A Spanish trucker told us there was a good truckstop at mile marker 288. We'd started driving very late, so by midnight we were all really looking forward…
To Africa: Tubingen – Madrid
Back in September, when I came back from touring in Spain with Edelweiss, I met Lukas, a fellow tourguide in the hotel in Mieming, Austria. Lukas started together with me as a new tourguide this year, and though I hadn't been on tour with him,…
