Introduction

Hello, this is me… No not the guy in front, that’s Timmy. Behind him… The yellow Beetle, that’s me! I am called Low ‘N Slow, for my lifestyle and after my main characteristics; low for my stance and slow for my speed. I started a blog in 2023 to share my adventures in the real world. Since end of 2023 I have a younger sister named Charlie, she is a VW campervan, we share this blog. Although we only go out in nice weather conditions, there is enough to share. Enjoy the reading.

How I Started

It was a strong wish for me to drive further trips, to enjoy more beautiful sceneries. After a series of events I showed Timmy that I was capable of doing more. Especially driving up the ‘Knobbel’ smoothly after receiving the yearly tune-up and a new fuel pump, I think he was a little impressed…

Adding our ages of the owner and me, we celebrate 100 years this year. Another good reason for a memorable trip of backroad driving to the south of Europe.

In this blog I keep you updated on our adventure and hopefully the many adventures that follow.

Cruisin’

Charlie came home with a lot of stories. As I did last year a similar tour we had so much to talk about. It is great to have my younger sister back home again. The summer is slowly getting away, and it is getting colder. But the dry sunny weather is good for me to go out for the weekend. […]

Spa day

After the trip I could take some rest and received a four star spa treatment. I enjoyed a washing from top to bottom in the sunshine. Now my hat is bright white and my body is shiny green again. Ready for more adventures, but this year seems to come to an end with regards to camping.

Finish of the tour

From the Moselle river it was straight home. We had 2 hours of German autobahn left before entering The Netherlands. The trip went smoothly, not much traffic and it was a smooth drive. Our first fuel stop was weird, all fuel pumps were out of order, so no fuel at the fuel station!? We went to the next fuel station […]

From Rhine river to Moselle river

In the morning we started to see the waterfalls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen. The weather was not great but the waterfall was impressive. We continued our route on the highways 81 and 61, which are beautiful highways. Today it was not raining continuously as yesterday but still quite some rain with little sunshine. It was a 450km drive through […]

Shaffhausen

After packing we started to drive to Switzerland. The route started in sunny Italy, but when we were close to the Swiss border it started to rain, and it did not stop until Schaffhausen. Such a contrast with the sunny weather of yesterday. The traffic at the Gotthard tunnel was a nightmare, one hour of delay on this rainy day. […]

Friends from home

Today friends arrived from back home, the owners of the guest 2 wheeled girl that stays at our home. Our spot has enough place for them and we also brought a tent. There were new guests at the spot next to us but they changed for another spot. So we had quite a big spot all the way to the […]

Lakeside view

I enjoy my rest at the lakeside. I am on the second row to the lake so I have a magnificent view. I can see a small island with a castle and a bigger island. People can also spot me from the lake, but then I am also the only green camper on the site. Yesterday there was a storm, […]

Lago Iseo

Today we drove the last part to lago Iseo. The trip was heavy, before the Gotthard tunnel it was a long climb which I needed to do in third gear. After the long climb we had a long dark and warm tunnel, the Gotthard. In the tunnel it is 30 to 40 degrees, due to earth warmth. I thought because […]

Vierwaldstättersee

Today we had a trip from Bensheim to Beckenried, Switzerland. Beckenried is at the Vierwaldstättersee, a beautiful lake in Switzerland. My brother was here last year, so I have heard about it, but it is even more beautiful to see by myself. I normally like to have a small shot in my drink, the lead replacement. I drink the unleaded […]

My longest drive

Sunday I drove my longest trip, 520 kilometers. The trip is a start of our road trip to Italy. I am nervous for the trip but at the same time I look so much forward to it. The trip was heading to Bensheim in Germany, which I knew from last July. It was great to drive in my ‘heimat’, but […]
