Estonia Holiday – History, Baths and Nature
After I got rid of my apartment I still took a couple of days to say goodbyes and to get ready. The first leg of the tour was to Estonia. Except for some trips to Tallinn and the drive through to Riga last August, I had no other experiences of the country. This was about […]
The Long Haul Back Home: Part Two
I’m back home now. The apartment looks like a mess with the life of the past four months spread on the floor and tables. And I’m tired, because it was a long trip. A nice Tuesday in Bad Bentheim I finally saw the castle in Bad Bentheim and it was actually much bigger and more […]
The Long Haul Back Home: Part One
I’m back to my old neighborhood in Germany again. The trip up this far has gone very smoothly. I arrived here on Saturday evening already and have been mainly seeing friends and old colleagues so far. Work and drive Wednesday I still worked from just north of Lisbon in Alverca. I had previously marked two […]
Visiting Porto and the Beautiful Douro Valley
Last weekend was full of beautiful views and tastes. I told you earlier that I tried visiting Porto on my way down. Due to all the parking spots being full that didn’t work out then, but now it went like a charm. On the same trip we visited the port wine area of Douro valley […]

Another Lisbon Weekend in a Row
A quick surf update first Friday and Saturday I had cool sessions in small and manageable waves. Friday was really a lot of fun and I got a lot of waves. Saturday morning the waves were really small, but the sunrise and solitude made up for that. I’m planning to spend most of this ongoing […]
I Got Fined – And a Move to Costa da Caparica
After my last post a lot has happened even if it’s just been two days. On Tuesday while working the police came for a visit and decided that my parking was actually camping. I’ve been struggling with surfing and now I’m back close to Lisbon in Costa da Caparica. Wild camping is illegal in Portugal […]
Lisbon Impressions – Walking and Eating Well
I had a fun but tiring day in downtown Lisbon on Saturday and saw a lot of pretty things. I also took a ferry across the river to Almada so some of the pictures below are not from Lisbon really. Some were taken from the different viewing points I visited in and there are also […]
Return of the Yellow Engine Light
This week sure has had some highs and lows already. The highs mainly from surfing and the frustrating lows from the engine light that lit up again… This is the story so far. Running out of propane Already a couple of weeks ago the first of the two propane bottles I have with me got […]
