Piemonte Italy and Alsace France.

Roundtrip starting near Chur in rainy Switserland, on to rainy and snowy Berninapass, down to drowsing Italy, then to the sun in Adamello national park and Brenta Dolomites. Finally to my actual destiny Cuneo province (Dronero, all the valleys west) where sun and rain playes with each other. Then to Valchiusella at Gran Paradiso (stopover campsite) and back to Switserland. Here rain started as soon as I left the Great St. Bernard tunnel and stopped in Basel. So diversion to the French sun in the Colmar region (Vosges/Alsace). And back home.

Summer in Scandinavia.

Almost 3 weeks on route in Scandinavia. With the minicamper Kangoo overland through Denmark and taking the boat from Hirthals to Kristansand. Then crisscross through southern Norway, camping wild and on campsites, walking short and longer trails with overnight camping in tent. Always pretty lucky with the weather, rain just had stopped or started while leaving an area.
Crossing the Swedish border to go to the province of Varmland to visit friends near the village of Sunne.

Then through southern Sweden, a few nature reserves and via the famous Bridge at Malmo to Rodby taking the ferry to German Puttgarden. Driving back home by car with many heavy showers and sunny spells.  All together a long trip, approx. 5000 km.

A longer travellog can be downloaded, in Dutch, HERE (vak-dk-no-se-23)

There are much more photos to be seen, but I can not put them all online off course. 🙂

Here is the gallery. There is an extra bird gallery, from the puffin colony at Runde-Norway
