While riding one of the most beautiful cycle routes ever in Tasmania we had to stop twice for snakes. One of which we captured on video :-O

Do you know the feeling that you just want to “get out of here” (as 3 year old Tayanika puts it in her dry humour)? “Why am I doing this to myself/ us/the kids?” Cycling up a steep hill on a sticky dirtroad, somewhere in Tasmania, these words repeat in my head again and again. […]

We actually celebrated Tayanika’ s 3rd birthday two times, one time in Melbourne and one time in Tasmania. We had a yummy pre-birthday cake and songs with friends that had invited us to their house in “Altona” (sic!).

On one campsite at Potato Point, in the middle of the Eurobodalla National Park, we were surrounded by Wallabies and Kangaroos. They were literally […]

We had been looking forward to cycle our last two weeks in Korea on its most famous island, Jeju-do. As our ship moved slowly into Jeju harbour our excitement increased with the slowly rising sun. The clear blue morning sky and mild temperatures where a phantastic welcome and nice change from chilling and foggy mornings in mainland Korea. We had however fallen behind on […]

Bali, the island of the gods, it sounds almost pathetic and worn but it actually is like heaven for us now. The kids are in a stunningly beautiful Kindergarten while Ragna and I gaze over a cliff at the ocean, as we stretch our cycle hardened muscles in yoga classes. Too good to be true I ask myself… […]

We have just completed this amazing bicycle journey from Seoul to Busan in South Korea. This incredible bicycle infrastructure offers everything: “bicycle only roads”, even “bicycle only bridges”, “5 lanes roads” (whereas cars only had 2 of them), but also many rural narrow pathways. At regular intervals we encountered bicycle shelters, reststop in traditional Korean pavilion style, fancy modern […]
