Taas me lähdettiin (postausta toisaalta 26.7.2019)

Mekin päästiin taas tien päälle, eilen Travesta huikeat 20 km Lyypekkiin ja tänään päästiin jo satku eteenpäin. Aika lämmintä on ja päätettiin koiran kanssa suosiolla jäädä toukokuussa löytämäämme parkkiin Soltaussa Saksassa, jossa reilusti puita varjostamassa. Aika moni muukin auto tykkää näemmä näistä varjopaikoista täällä :P. Huomenna Frankfurtin kupeeseen pihaparkkiin tiellä tapaamieni sakujen pihalle :).

 

Lisäys elokuussa 2021, siis me ollaan vieläkin tällä samalla reissulla, heinäkuusta 2019 alkaen.

Näkemisiin Kreeta (postausta toisaalta 6.5.2019)

Nyt on se fiilis että tämän kertainen lähes parin vuoden reissu lähenee loppuaan, jokunen maa tuli taas lisää (Bosnia erityis uusi ihastus!) Viimeiseen 24 tuntiin mahtuu paljon...

Leaving Finland, arriving in France

Leaving Finland behind and heading to Germany, Travemunde! Last time I drew trough Sweden and Denmark, but this time took a direct ferry to Germany, less driving and having good time in the ferry.

Goodbye Greece - road to Bulgaria and Romania

Arriving to Bulgaria from Greece.

Ferry Chania-Piraeus and the way to Thessaloniki

It was time again to leave this beautiful island behind us. Saying goodbye to my very own family in Frangokastello was very hard and emotional, with the mother Sofia we changed plenty of tears. They have been so nice to us and I will miss all of them. Saying "taleme" means in Greek "See you". We used to say taleme avrio, see you tomorrow, but now it was just "taleme"...

New window, back in business:)

Finally we got the new window in my van so we said goodbye to Athens and kalimera to Crete <3.

France - Italy - Greece

We have arrived in beloved Greece <3! So we left France and Italy behind and took the ferry to Greece and I am happy to get back in this country :).

But before getting here I still spent few days In Briancon France, which is the highest city in European Union at an altitude of 1326 meters. I didnt have time to look too much around, which is a shame since this city definetely would deserve a closer look. Briancon is also a ski-resort, and its known of having 300 days sun on the year!

Briancon, the highest city in the European Union

On the road 2014

I was spending nice summer days in Finland for 6 weeks and hitted the road again 1.8.2014, this time via Sweden and Denmark. For years I have been taking the ferry (Finnlines) directly from Helsinki to Travemunde (D) but this time the tickets were so higly priced without good offers and I was counting that I managed to drive with half of the price to Germany via Sweden rather than taking the ferry Finland - Germany.

Up to north Italy-Austria-Germany-Finland

highway in Italy

The heat in Italy was unbearable, four days on the row +37, no wind, so I was happy to start driving more north and getting to Austria where I met the fresh air again, even snow!

Goodbye Greece - Ciao Italy, Patras - Ancona

Ferry which brought us to Italy. It was Superfast XI but I bought the tickets via Anek Lines, who is also operating their tickets. Very handy thing that you can do "camping on board", so dont need a cabine, you can stay comfortably in your camper. Much nicer for me and MUCH nicer when you travel with a pet! Tickets costed about 270 euro - one way, including camper and one person...

Ferry from Kissamos to Gytheion

Anchor is pulled up and ferry ready to go! See you again Crete!

Was a sad feeling to leave from Crete, such a nice island it is, but I can always get myself back there!

The ferry leaves from Kissamos Crete every wednesday 7:30 am and had two stops (Kissamos-Antikythira-Kythira-Gytheion) before arriving to Gytheion Peloponnes at 15:30. Price for my van was 138 e + 23 e a person, so total costs 161 e one way. Earlier on the phone they told me that it would costs 21 e a meter and 33 e per person, so it was not totally correct information. In the ferry there was plenty of place in half May, so no need to book tickets in advance. You can buy the tickets one hour before the ferry leaves from the harbour or you can but them in Kissamos in two offices who sells ferry trips. More information you can ask in Lane Sea Lines office Kissamos tel 2822 02350. Pets are not allowed to take inside the ferry, so we stayed all 8 hours on the deck. Lucky there was no rain, but in the end I was really ready to leave the ferry behind!!!
