October 14, 2025,Another day in Paradise

Well, paradise is a tricky thing, as we all know. But as a tourist, you get pretty close to it. Even if the sandy paths are deeper than in Brandenburg, the southern climbs are hotter than those in South Tyrol at lunchtime, and the sausages are greasier than those in Thuringia. You get so much back 😅

March 3, 2025,Tag 6: Sagres-Runde zum Südwestlichsten Punkt Europas 🇵🇹

Today, it wasn't a one-way tour, but a circular tour, so we were able to travel without luggage or rather light luggage – how wonderful.

Today's destination was the southwesternmost point of Europe. It was perhaps the weakest stage of our one-week tour along the south coast of Portugal, but if you're already there, you definitely have to take it.
