For today's post we have been thinking of giving you an insight into how our daily routine looks like when we are touring. Therefore we have taken pictures throughout the day, documenting our activities. You might have been wondering, why we are often writing about weather conditions, quantities of food we eat or how we perceive the landscape. Maybe after seeing this, you may understand that our focus often is on the basic needs: where do we sleep tonight, what do we eat, how will the weather and road impact our plans... Usually, though, these questions are quickly answered once the leg is set for the day and we have a free mind to enjoy all unforeseen happenings - and there are many! From landscape, to animals, to encounters with other people on the road. It literally makes each of our days an adventure. As you may expect our day starts of with a rich breakfast. A hot breakfast is especially appreciated on chilly mornings and therefore we have become lovers of oatmeal. In the past few weeks we got used to the local “bread” and discovered that peanut butter is a good source of energy… After breakfast it’s time to tidy up the campsite. Click through the following time lapse series to see how we dismount the tent, pack everything in the bags, load the bikes and leave: On the road we take frequent breaks to enjoy the scenery. At noon it is time to look out for a nice picnic spot and enjoy some rest. In the later afternoon we usually arrive at the next campsite where we first pitch the tent, arrange the mattresses and sleeping bags and opt for a hot shower. Depending on the arrival time we find the time to stroll around, drink a coffee, plan the next day, check e-mails, etc. At this specific day we got some curious visitors: three Roosevelt elks (the largest red deer in North America) were checking out the hike&bike area. Sometimes we have to hurry up to do the cooking before dusk. This time we failed and we finished our meal with tea and cookies in the romantic light of our headlamps.

Hoi zäme! Es würde mich schon interessieren, wie ihr die Fotos gemacht habt, wo ihr beide von hinten zu sehen seid.. Habt ihr andere Camper gefragt oder geschah es mit Selbstauslöser???Auch wir haben heute eifrig gepackt, sind aber noch nicht sicher, wo alles zu finden ist.
