Fernweh

Maerrie and I are enjoying ourselves enormously - we rented a very nice car in Liverpool and drove up North through the Lake Country. On our journey so far we've seen castles, ruins, vast landscapes, impressive coastlines - and even men in kilts.
Stopping points have been Kendal (at the entrance of beautiful Cumbria), [...]

I've scanned some of the pics I took - not a lot of tourist sights, as we did them in 98 and didn't bother taking the same pics yet again…. Sibylle has also taken some, which are not yet developped, but I thought I'd go ahead and post some of mine anyway.

Well, I'm back home again after five great days in London. Not everything went the way we planned or imagined it, but all in all we had a good time!

Unfortunately Rolly (guy I met in Namibia) is expecting visitors on Monday, June 17, so that we have to leave already next Wednesday instead of Friday. That makes finding a reasonably priced flight difficult - it's too late for EasyJet, so we have to [...]

With seventeen me and Sibylle went up to Britain and all around the island by train - and in a tiny tent, despite the mostly very cold and rainy weather…

Home, sweet tent… on a day when the weather was decent for a change! *g* (The weird shape comes from this pic being a part of [...]
