Copenhagen, Part Six
10/5-10/14 Our final day in Copenhagen would be a busy one. We’d watched the weather forecasts carefully and aware that rain was on its way scheduled outdoor activities for Sunday (Boat Tour) and Monday (Cemetery and Christiania) leaving a couple of indoor options for a rainy Tuesday. Once again, Bev and I made our way […]
Virginia Creeper Trail
September 4-7, 2015 The invite came via email from Chris, the organizer, in early spring. The 10th annual Virginia Creeper Trail Campout and Bike ride was to be scheduled sometime that summer. We’d joined this group a few years back and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Emails traded hands and before too long Labor Day […]
Europe 2014 – Fest 2 – Oktoberfest from a Locals Perspective
Timeline: September 19th – 21st The plan for the Saturday of Fest was to venture to Marienplatz at 10:00 am for a two hour guided tour of Munich (through the TI), then meet up with Marcus (Marty’s distributor in Munich) and Jeff (Marty’s business partner) back at the hotel around 3:00pm in order to make […]
Europe 2014 – Munich – We Ride, We Drink Beer and Are Glad to Be Here
Timeline: September 15th – 17th Our plan for riding would be to follow the Isar north one day and south the other to see how far we could go in either direction. A beautiful day greeted us with blue skies, warm but not too hot temperature, and little or no wind, perfect weather for riding. […]
Europe 2014 – Vienna – A Good Day’s Ride and a Little Night Music
Timeline: September 7th – 10th Determined to ride the next day, Tuesday, we conferred with the girls next door. After having ridden their bikes from Frankfurt, they were up each day for biking outings in and around Vienna. We asked them about places to ride and they confirmed that the island near camp was the place […]
Europe 2014 – Berlin – More Rides and More Sights
Timeline: August 16th – 24th Over the course of the next four days we’d devote two of the days to bike riding and two to sightseeing. Our rides took us along pretty much the same route, northwest out of camp along the canal, following the bike signs as we went. Our second go at the […]
Europe 2014 – Paris – Tour de France Redux
Timeline: July 24th – 30th To put it bluntly, our plan for the two weeks with Bev was to walk her hard and keep her so busy we’d have to pour her on the plane for the return trip to Kansas. Looking back in hindsight though as I write this a week or so later, […]
Europe 2014 – Paris – Kansas Meets Paris and Neither is the Same
Timeline: July 24th – 30th Bev was due into Charles de Gaulle around 9:30 in the morning on Saturday the 26th so I left the Cosmos a good 90 minutes before hand to allow myself time to navigate the metro to Gare du Nord where I would pick up the RER A line for […]
Europe 2014 – Lisbon, Try it on a Baguette
Our second day in camp would bring another trip into Lisbon for sightseeing. When you are traveling like we are, there is a rhythm to each town. You arrive in camp and set up, becoming familiar with its features. Your first foray into town is full of uncertainty, not knowing where the bus will take […]
Europe 2014 – Pamplona Minus the Bulls
It was a pretty long, but uneventful drive from the Dordogne down to Pamplona. We hit a couple of short sections of toll road, but the charges were reasonable. We crossed over into Spain just south of Bayonne and Biarritz on Highway N121-A, a good road that brought us to Camping Ezcaba, about five miles […]
