December 2016

In December, we returned to Germany. We spent almost two weeks in the north before driving back home to Düsseldorf. It was the month of seeing friends and family again. And then, the year ended with the start of yet another trip.

After a couple of months driving outside Germany, it took me a few kilometres to get used to the Autobahn and 200 km/h fast cars again – a uniquely German stupidity. You really have to pay attention, because the speed difference on the next lane can vary greatly. And it’s not uncommon to witness dangerous situations. But I digress.

Coming back had it’s good sides, too, of course. We enjoyed Hamburg once again, met up with lots of friends, spent Christmas with the family, and got to enjoy a variety of German Christmas markets with all their delicious foods and drinks.

All these things eased the bit of sadness we felt as our trip through Scandinavia ended. It’s been a fantastic trip through beautiful landscapes and cities and an interesting and new experience living in a camper van full time. While working and travelling simultaneously does have its challenges, we agreed it doesn’t nearly outweigh the advantages. So, we’ll try and keep living that way in the future.

Here are December’s photos.
