Tout, autour de la Terre

Thursday, June 28th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | No Comments »

We were flying between the clouds. The lights of our van disappeared just in front of us. A dreamland of mists and fogs. Small, turning roads. A red fox crossing our path. Old, abandoned stonehouses with a glimpse of ancient, ...

Torri Superiore

Thursday, June 28th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | No Comments »

The omens where not too good. A low bridge with a roadsign saying 2.20 max. while our bus counts 2.60 high was a first warning, though we managed to get across. Just behind the bridge we were stopped by a ...

Ecovillages

Monday, June 4th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | No Comments »

United colors of Shqipëria

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | No Comments »

Shqipëria? Wait a minute, isn´t that this poor country somewhere in Africa… What, is it really in Europe? Albania, also called Shqipëria, is one of these countries you hardly hear anything about, though it is interesting visiting it! From Macedonia ...

Moving on

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | No Comments »

We left Turkey overland, with a bit of pain in the heart. It has been such a good country to travel in, with its hospitality, the surprisingly delicious local dishes, more or less unspoiled countryside, the small men on their ...

Making soap and other projects

Monday, May 14th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 2 Comments »

One day we visited an alternative beach resort nearby. Between the olive trees, small holiday houses lead you to the beach. In between there is small pieces of land where all kinds of vegetables are grown organic. Just before the ...

Tourist pollution

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 4 Comments »

We traveled mainly through inland Turkey and had a lot of welcomes. When we arrived at the coast, we had a hard time to adjust. The whole coast was polluted with large scale ugly tourist flat resorts! The atmosphere changed ...

Organic cotton in Turkey

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 1 Comment »

Hos Geldiniz!

Friday, April 27th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 1 Comment »

We left Istanbul and traveled some days on the countryside. We visited an old mosque on a hilltop today, a beautiful place without any of the sultan glamour of the Istanbul mosques. Just round bowls, floors stuffed with carpets, old ...

Culture shocks from Istanbul

Friday, April 20th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 1 Comment »

It is quite a kick driving into Istanbul with your own van around 4 o clock pm! Five track roads without street markings, all kinds of vehicles crisscrossing wherever they can go. We got fuzzed around and wondered how big ...

The road to Istanbul

Friday, April 20th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | No Comments »

Without any money we entered Bulgaria by night. A lot of gates and checks, and then in nomansland a small office man: `Pay 5 Euro`. For what`? Frans asked. Again: `Five Euro´s`. Ok, we did not have a single Eurocent. ...

Entering a tropical Novi Sad

Sunday, April 15th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 4 Comments »

earth ships

Sunday, April 15th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 1 Comment »

We would like to learn more about earth ships. They are ecological houses made of recycled materials made with simple, low tech methods. The houses look great and it is cheap to make them. But they are different then normal ...

The good life in Slovenia

Sunday, April 15th, 2007 Posted in Grass Routes on Tour | 1 Comment »

Just before the roads on the highway splitted, we came to the idea of going to Slovenia and visit some friends there, so our trip to Slovenia was really a last minute decision. We had the idea to go to ...
