In 1708 the author returned to Holland via Germany (Berlin, Hornburg, Helberstad, Boeckholtz, Doesburg, Amersfoort, Amsterdam). In 1709 he commences on another journey from Amsterdam, via Deventer, to Delden and on to Holtsenau, Wismar, Rostock, Brandenburg and then to his house in Koningstein, in the Schmidengasse Eck. The journal continues in 1713, when apparently his wife has died ("Na dat het Godbelieft had mijn Liefste door de dood van mij af te scheyden & dus in alles een weersin gekregen hebbende, ben ik 30 Junij 1713 's avonds te 9 uuren met 3 kinderen, een Wijff & Jonge, van Coningst. gevaeren (...)").
