Norway & Sweden By Van – Part 2

Last time I blogged, we were as far north as we'd be able to make in Norway on this trip. Even though Geiranger was very touristic and busy it was a worthwhile visit. We stayed at a camping for one night, as finding free showers in Geiranger…

Norway by Van – Part 1

Traveling by van, wildcamping almost all the time, and not having a set schedule or bookings is really a very different experience. It's the first time I've managed to combine an Edelweiss tour with some personal travel, and the fact that Jolien…

The Viking Experience 2017

I'm a world away from the sunny mountains of Spain, where I was last riding. The skies are full of grey clouds, slowly moving along, the landscape doesn't contain a single tree, just rocks, moss and grass with patches of snow in between.…

Pyrenees Extreme 2017 Round 1

I've been to the Pyrenees quite a few times over the past year now, but since the riding is so excellent I didn't mind that Edelweiss assigned me to some more tours in that area. This time around it was a tour fairly similar to my previous tour…

Convento de Sao Francisco do Monte

Esco – Pueblo Abandonado

On our first evening in Spain, we camped near the abandoned village of Esco. We walked around at just the right time, with golden sunlight falling among the ruins. I have so many good pictures I thought I'd dedicate an entire post to it. The…

Con la Furgo en el Camino – Portugal

Last time we'd pretty much reached the end of Asturias, where the province of Galicia starts. Our first stop there was the very famous (as in: signs are up kilometers in advance) beach of The Cathedrals, or "Praia Das Catedrais" The name…

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…
