Statt vier Wochen Australien eine Woche Wandern in der Eifel. So ungefähr sieht unser Covid-19 Sommerurlaub aus. Aber ich wollte sowieso einen Blog ausprobiere, und so gibt es ihn nun – zum Teil auf englisch – von der Eifelwanderung

Instead of travelling four weeks around Australia it’s going to be one week of hiking across the Eifel nearby. But since I wanted to do a travelblog, I will do it the other way around so you Aussie folks can see a bit of our hike …

This is still a bit preliminary, but I will keep working on it…
