First stop is Madrid

The Spanish highways are most time of the year not very busy, but now it’s sometimes almost scary. There was a part of this first trip we didn’t see any car, except ours, for more than half an hour. We saw two campers, one from England and one from Finland. Our car is a hybrid, and the problem is that it has a very small tank. Luckily some gas stations were open but not all. But so far so good!
In the hotel it is mandatory to wear a face mask and you have to wash your hands regularly with disinfectant spray if you want to get coffee for example. You can have the food brought to your room and you are advised to touch as few things as possible on the corridors and if this happens, immediately use the disinfectant soap. They asked us to take a picture off the menu and used a special scanner to copy our passports.

 We think it takes some getting used to, but it is sensible. Breakfast is takeaway and will be delivered in a tote. We think we will get up early and hope to reach Bordeaux by tomorrow.
Stay healthy and optimistic!

The Carnaval is over

The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .

After the renovation

Image
  yes, we did our best, but now they are on the roof, our solar panels.  The bathroom has also been renovated in between, so it was time to get out for a while.  Not too far, just a walk in nature and then also shoot a heron. Not really, of course, so no gun was involved, but with a camera.  Oh yes, and we will also go to a sunny country this year when it winters here, but more about that later. Stay healthy and optimistic, you will feel a lot better doing so . . .

Gifts, gifts.

Image
  Apparently we are now in a period where we give a lot of presents. The period in which we received a lot of presents seems to be behind us.  Not that it's a bad thing, rather the opposite. So it turns out to be true, for us at least, that giving is better than taking.  The presents are for the little ones, the children. Wonderful to see how happy they can be, how intensely they enjoy unpacking and the surprise when the gift is unwrapped in front of them. The absolute highlight appears to be the permission to bring a present when it is time to go to sleep. Stay healthy and optimistic, the world can't do without it!
