Category: 2017 – road trip from Italy

I had travelled to Italy by plane for work and since it was my birth day, Arne came to pick me up. We met up in Como and then meandered back to Belgium, taking our time and stopping at whatever spot/monument/natural wonder that took our fancy.

Mersch to home

Important Note: I did not write this during the journey, but only in 2019 when adding the journal to the blog. After a leisurely breakfast we set out on the last leg of our trip home. We follow the Valley of the Seven Castles. The drive itself is charming: green fields and forests, blue skies,… Continue reading Mersch to home →

Colmar to Mersch

Important Note: I did not write this during the journey, but only in 2019 when adding the journal to the blog. Today we drive to Luxembourgh, that's about 345 km so we have plenty of time to visit stuff on the way. We start with Kaysersberg, recently voted the prettiest village in France. We park… Continue reading Colmar to Mersch →

Altdorf to Basel

The weather is grey and foggy, but by the time we set off (after a disappointing breakfast) it’s starting to clear up. We drive towards the Trümmelbach waterfalls, following a picturesque highway passing by lakes and through tunnels. The drive up to the falls is very nice, with views of the canyon valley and snowy… Continue reading Altdorf to Basel →

Como to Altdorf

Arne picked me up at the Avis office in Como the day before around 6 pm. We drove to the B&B La Villa and visited Como after a quick shower and hugging the local cat. In the morning, I have several texts and calls from family, wishing me a happy birth day. Hugging the cat… Continue reading Como to Altdorf →
