Roughing it back in the 90's.
In den 90ern geht's noch etwas spartanisch zu.
2002 we rented an RV for our first road trip through Western Canada.
2002 mieten wir uns ein WoMo für eine erste Tour durch West-Kanada.
2003 we got a pickup truck with camper cabin for another road trip through Western Canada.
2003 mieten wir uns einen Pickup Camper für eine weitere Tour durch West-Kanada.
2004 we rented an RV again and went on a road trip through Yukon and Alaska.
2004 geht es dann mit einem gemieteten Wohnmobil durch Yukon und Alaska.
After a long hiatus we are back to moto camping in 2016. This time we chose to travel in a Karmann Dexter camper van through Germany and Denmark.
In 2016 leihen wir uns nach langer Auszeit vom Campen einen Karmann Dexter, der uns durch Deutschland und Dänemark begleitet.
2017 we rented a bigger rig and visited Switzerland and Italy.
2017 geht es mit einem Leih-Mobil dann durch die Schweiz und Italien.
In May 2018 we go small, and rent a tiny VW camper van to explore Eastern Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia.
Im Mai 2018 probieren wir mal was ganz Kleines aus und mieten einen VW Bus. Damit bereisen wir dann Ostdeutschland, Tschechien, Österreich, Ungarn und die Slowakei.
Finally serendipity (and fate) lead us to the to the vehicle we own today, and we hope to get many miles and smiles out of it.
Das Schicksal führt uns schließlich zu unserem eigenen Bulli, und wir hoffen, dass wir an ihm sehr lange viel Spaß und Freude haben werden.
Life is good.
Das Leben ist schön.

Thanks to RichardM for the inspiration to this blog posting.
Nice roll call of past campers....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dom.
DeleteNice history of RVs. I still get use out of the tents though it's getting harder to crawl out in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Richard. The morning routine of getting out and getting up isn't as smooth as it had been in the past.
DeleteInteresting evolution report. Your life does look good from here! And I don't mean that in a weird way, I mean I admire your new vehicle and imagine many fun adventures lie ahead for us. I say "us" because you do such a good job sharing your travel experiences.
ReplyDeleteKathy, you are right, our lives look good, and we have no reason to complain at all. The move back to Germany came at the right time, and we made the best out of it. Had we staid in Canada, we would have likely gotten a pick-up with a camper box by now ;-) Thanks for sticking around.
DeleteLooking forward to many, many more trip reports!
ReplyDeleteThere will be in the not too far away future, David.
DeleteAnd Siggi is by far the best looking camper!!!
