So where were we? So we left our lovely Istán behind, making sure that the Teepee was fully stocked with fresh spring water once again. Heaving only a small water bottle, I did bring three additional 5 litre bottles and various smaller drinking bottles for walks etc and every single one of them was full …
Istán was great and we will make our way back through here on our return journey, I’m sure. It’s only a few days later writing this and the fresh water from Istán is still going strong. You’d be amazed at how little water you need for things like cleaning dishes when you have a hungry …
Blah blah de Santa is now finally finished, I hope, and we’re on the road 🛣️ to see some new locations for both of us and perhaps to revisit some old locations for me. Tippi’s decided that she’d like to see a bit more of the interior. The seaside is lovely too, but she’s heard …

This could end brilliantly. So, to help with editing this post for later, I’m getting ahead of the game by …
After our two weeks of fairly constant driving, relaxing for the last week has been a good break, but also a big break from the new norms of van life. I have already noticed that I can find most things I need in the van quite easily, but staying under a guest roof, with only …
March 3rd: After a few long feeling months, the TeePee is as ready as she’ll ever be to whisk Tippi, and her sometimes reliable driver, towards warmer climes on the continent. Tippi and Pepsi have known each other for about eleven years but there probably won’t be any sad farewells. Dogs are so good at …
