Sabbatical in Corona times
To Italy? No, there’s Corona, let’s go to Spain…
It was supposed to start in 2020, the job was prepared, the fat one was ours, had been tried and what was still to come, let’s go. Well, and then came Corona. Our sabbatical started in mid-February, the trip was supposed to start right at the beginning of March. There were big plans, Italy, Monaco, Spain, Portugal, France and, if it works out, off to the far north, to Norway.
Then it started, the news knew nothing half and nothing whole, but it was bad in Bergamo, Italy. Still completely ignorant of what will keep the entire world in suspense for another 2.5 years, we rescheduled. Straight off to Spain and then the rest of the trip planned in my head.
Well, and what we experienced then, you can read in the following blog posts.

Today we are 9 weeks on this campsite. Not entirely voluntarily, but now also with the tangible goal to move on soon. Yes, this option has been working out for about 14 days now.

The Province of Almeria – Road Trip 2020
As you read in the last post, it is so incredibly beautiful here that we were completely overwhelmed on our first trips and lacked a little of the words. It is still so nice to see how life returns to this province and our small town. Smaller shops reopen, even if opening hours are a…
