Captain’s Log: Friday, 18 August

Distance: Around 12km in Muinch by bicycle, Roma (since yesterday over night) – Muinch – Klagenfurt – Zell Pfarre, by bus, train, and (hopefully) car

After arriving in Muinch with the night bus around 10am, I decided, instead of sitting around and reading, to go a bit Sightseeing. After all, I still had 4 hours … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Thursday, 17 August

Distance: Napoli – Rome – Muinch, 34km by bike and I do not know how much by train and bus

In the morning I drove the last 15km to Napoli with my bicycle, while the British guys, who were taking the same train back to Roma as me, got there by the Metro. I arrived … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Wednesday, 16 August

Distance: a lot by boat, not so much by foot

In the morning I got asked again, if I want to join them on their trip to Ischia, an island a bit off the coast. Since I would have ended up sitting on the camping ground reading the whole day, I decided to go with … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Tuesday, 15 August

Distance: The whole ancient ruin city of Pompeji

As I mentioned already yesterday, I joined the two British guys at their trip down to the Vesuvius and to Pompeji. The train connection quite awful, and after waiting long times and changing train in Naples, we eventually got to Ercolano, from where a bus would go … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Monday, 14 August

Distance: At least to the supermarket and back again

Yeh, even though knowing that I am going to have a very lazy week anyway, I decided to be lazy today as well. So I basically read the whole day. I have started a book series, The Wheel of Time, which has far too much books, … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Sunday, 13 August

Distance: Absolutely none, like, literally, except for the couple of metres around the camping ground and the crater

Except for a short night walk at the crater with two other campers from Britain, there did not happen much today. I used the day to relax, and I basically spent the whole day at the Café … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Saturday, 12 August

Distance: Scauri – Pozzuoli / Solfatara, 74km

Since I was the only one in this area of the camping ground, the morning started quite calm. It was cold though, or I’m already so used to the heat that 25 degrees appear to be cold for me. However, after a short breakfast I was on the … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Friday, 11 August

Distance: Latina / Foce Verde – Somewhere between Formia and Scauri, 100km

I have to admit, there did not happen a lot today except driving. 

I left a bit later than the day before, and had a short breakfast at the Esplanade, before driving further south.

(I think, that picture was actually taken in the … Weiterlesen...

Captain’s Log: Thursday, 10 August

Distance: Roma – Ostia – Latina, 104km

Early in the morning, Moritz and I left Rome; he drove northwards, while I drove westwards, since I wanted to reach the coast and follow it down to Pompeii. It seemed like the nicer route to me than some road in the middle again. 

The road to Ostia … Weiterlesen...
