Camp Endo has moved. We‘re now app. 2 hrs upstream in the mountains where it‘s a little bit less crowded and hot.

Passed ‚le pont du diable‘ on our way and went swimming and cliff-jumping, with a few hundred others. Incredible what testosterone does to some of the young blokes (hight of the bridge is supposed to be 17 meters).

Just behind starts a beautiful canyon that we swam up.

This is our new camp for the next two days.

Amazing.

Unsure if I'd jump off that bridge though... I'd have to see it in person.

Beautiful @endo

Today we did a hike in the surrounding mountains. Not always easy to get the teenager moving, but he did well and we managed to have a good time. And afterwards we had meatballs and Orangina, that satisfies every soul.

We‘re on our way back North. Passing through Burgundy we took the chance to visit the Communauté de Taizé, where we had dinner with hundreds of young people and visited the evening prayer. If you‘re interested, listen to their music.

Wonderful tour @endo , thanks for sharing!
Visited Taizé once and found it very contemplative.

great stuff @endo youre definitely doing it right
brings up memories of camping near Toulon with the family when I was a teenager, good times…
I’m sure your son will not forget this adventure

Awesome.

Our last stop in France let us to Colmar, a beautiful medieval town with lots of frame houses (and lots of tourist, but still nice).

But my main interest there was the Musee Unterlinden, with it's Isenheim Altarpiece.

Even my little endo was impressed. It's certainly one of the masterpieces of late medieval painting.

Crazy shit.

Now we're back home. Grateful for safe travels and lots of new impressions. Thank you for following.

The next tour should be in September to South England and the Gosport party. See you then, hopefully. ️

@endo agreed, visited Colmar with my wife in 2019. Very nice town.

@endo far out!! What a cool tradition to pass on to your children!!

[endo]

it's the cool @Mizmazzle that you have to pass to the next gen, you do it as a teacher

[Mizmazzle]

@endo thanks for noticing that. I love that aspect of my job.

[ROman]

@endo Great scenery thanks. The last painting, was it Hieronymus Bosch?

[endo]

@ROman said in the (new) endomobile:

The last painting, was it Hieronymus Bosch?

Looks like, doesn't it? @ROman But no, it's Matthias Grünewald, yet about the same time as Bosch.

Just a few days until the next trip begins. We'll start towards Southern England (London - Devon -Cornwall - Gosport) next Friday. Time to get the Bus tidy.

The (still preliminary) interiors. Learning with every trip what's necessary, redundant and what sucks.

I've installed roof rails to get some of the stuff out of the way.

And a ladder to get up there.

Just catching up on your travels and adventures this summer ~ living life to the fullest and thanks for sharing!

[endo]

@Denman-John travelling is the best, and thanks for sharing your trip!

[Denman John]

Travelling is the best! Still in the planning stages for my winter trip, but I hope to buy plane tickets this month.
