My travel adventures

& some other stuff

Welcome to my Website!

Hello and welcome to my page 🙂

I’m Katrin and I used to travel a lot in my 30ies.
Currently (2026), I’m working on including all my old travel blogs to keep all these good memories alive.

I’m also adding some new things, e.g. DIY recipes and content about my current photography and sports activities.
So you’ll find a pretty colourful mixture here 🙂
And maybe there’s something interesting in there for you as well.

Enjoy!
And please let me know if you find any errors or inconsistencies in the contact form. Thanks!

Day 7: Crêpes on board

Thursday, 28th June 2012, 08:07 AM

I woke up with a headache and in a bad mood again.
The boys at the breakfast table are still only talking to each other and in French. Today, everyone is getting on my nerves.
Luckily, I haven’t seen Jean yet, he would definitely have noticed something… The pool should be filled by noon and we’re having crêpes for lunch. Still, I’m in a bad mood. Why did I have to get on a French ship of all places?

Day 5: Ship explorations

Tuesday, 26th June 2012, 09:05 AM

Cabin fever

Today I already woke up in a bad mood, but that’s the first time since I’ve been on the ship.
At least I have good reasons for being in a bad mood: a week of
fatty, sweet food, no exercise, no tasks, and no one to talk to beyond small talk.
Besides that: hardly any fresh air (because the weather wasn’t so great), always the same surroundings, and no (mental) input.

Day 4: Normal day aboard

Monday, 25th June 2012 9:55 AM

Waking up, looking at the clock: 6:00 a.m. and I feel fine: no headache, no weird feeling in my stomach, for the first time ever on board I feel fit and well-rested in the morning…yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah….

Day 3: Saint Nazaire, Safety Instructions, meeting the crew

Sunday, 24th June 2012 (9:17 AM)

Now we’re really on our way.
There won’t be any land for the next 5-6 (or 7??) days, but honestly, I’m not worried at all.
Later we’ll have safety instructions, and I’m sure there will always be something else going on 😉
Sorry if today’s entry is pretty boring, but I feel like I only slept 3-4 hours.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the ocean!
