This is part 2 of my vanlife summer 2015. See part 1 here: Summer 2015 living and travelling Europe in a van – Part 1
We left the Czech party with some van friends we’d met from Berlin
And camped along the river in Czech for a couple of weeks
See post on 2 weeks of vanlife by a river in Czech
We had some nice fires
And accidentally saw the peak of the Perseids meteor shower
In morning we swam across the river
And then the van broke down
But I fixed it and we made it back to Germany
See post on Breaking down and fixing it
We stopped in Leipzig and explored some abandoned roof tops
And then I we visited my friend Christian who’s living in a tent
See post: He lives in a tent and makes guitars
We cooked dinner on a fire by the lake
And the next day he showed us how he makes guitars
Now back to Berlin… After one quick synth shop stop
We met more good people and hung out in Berlin a bit more
And then Finn went home. But first we gave each other tattoos
The next day I met this real cool guy, Nico, in the park
We went to a party in the woods and had a reallllly good time
See post on A party in the woods
He went back to Berlin and I went to the Netherlands…
For the PSY-FI festival!
See Photos of the PSY-FI festival – Netherlands
Before travelling I never would have gone to a festival on my own
I met some great people and met some friends from last summer
And then I drove to Brugge to get an overnight ferry to the UK
See post: Pitstop in the UK
So now I’m seeing my friends and family
And giving the van a much needed overhaul
Most of it is fixing up rust and preparing it for another winter – I’ll do a post on this stuff
So I’ve been in the UK for a few weeks now. I’ve got a lot done that I wanted to do but the van still has a fair bit of work that needs doing.
