Below certainly a not complete overview of my and our holidays. At this
moment there is only a short description of the voyage and photographs
of our stays from the most appreciated time of the year. Because the
work involved, it will probably stay that way. Formerly I use to
spent that time with friends, motorbikes and a whole lot of hair. Today
with a campervan, motorbike, less hair, a sweet and loving wife.

Poland 2008
A holiday with other campersiters
of internet to the south of Poland. The journey has been extensively
prepared and organized by a Polish couple, who hasbeen living in
Belgium for the biggest part of their lives. We have seen many
things, visited many buidings, castles and hiked a lot in national
parks. Krakow,
Zarkopane, Auschwitz and other places have left indelible impressions.
Hopefully we can return in a few years

The report is published in the Kampeer Wereld, and was written by
Katy and Raymond.
A holiday with emphasis on
motorcycling. The destination: France and especially the south. The
motorbike routes were at home prepared with Mapsource. Most of these
rides were allright and didn't need changing. Some others needed
adjustments, partly because eg unpaved roads were part of the
original route or the starting point (= camping) was changed to the
latest insights. Finally, I must say that I've seen incredible
natural beauty, long hours I was alone in this world. I've been in
places where not many foreigners have ever been. Occasionally there
were difficult conditions: roads which were completely covered with
big quantities of gravel, combined with an unrelenting amount of
curves and hairpin bends.
In the meantime my wife enjoyed her
stay at the camping site and the camper. Occasionally going to a
nearby village or town to shop for souvenirs or other shopping.
Everyone has their own preference. Yes, unlike previous years
culture has been a bit short this year. No extended visits to
castles and caves. When you only have a three weeks holiday, you
have to make choices.....
