Adventures in a Camper Van!

One of the most exciting parts of our adventure through Iceland was that we were going to experience it in a camper van! A converted Ford Transit Connect cargo van from Solstice Campers would be our home for the entire trip, and we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it to check it out and start exploring!

Rainy Evening in Ribeauville

After making a lot of effort, saving, and budgeting, we are finally back in Alsace! We arrived the same time as a rain storm, but we won’t let that bring us down… rather, it emptied the streets so when it stopped we had a pleasant stroll where it felt like the whole town was only ours!

Ribeauville

The beautiful town of Ribeauville! We found our cute hotel, then took to the streets where we enjoyed the scenery by the little square, marveled at the colors and the narrow streets, enjoyed a keugelhopf, met some nice people, and wound up sipping garlic brandy at a local distillery!

We stood in complete awe surrounded by the towering trees and green moss in the forest, drove a long woodland road to our remote hotel, found a waterfall in a cute cuckoo-clock village, and had a wonderful sausage dinner. The night ended perfectly with the best clear, starry sky that we’ve seen in years!

We visited the city of Vaduz, made our way to the castle, and took a detour-filled, nail biting drive back to Triesenberg, where we closed the night with a great meal and some local drinks.
