Hemel Hempstead, UK Phew! No Pirates! We survived the crossing, disembarked in Oscar and started to look for the way south. Our first destination was to be Whitby, but having seen some photos posted on Facebook by a friend, we decided to make a detour to Durham. Durham made it easy to visit because they…
Whitby, United Kingdom Wow! It’s hard to believe it, but we are now in our second last country before heading home! And it is time to catch up with Nick’s relatives in The Netherlands. First stop was lunch in Ter Apel with Aunty Ann, Marion & Harry. A nice inclusion for the lunch date was…
Bad Bentheim, Germany Sometimes there are just places that feel like home and Germany is one of those places. We’ve been here several times since we came to Europe for the first time in 2000 and thinking about, we come here almost every time we come to Europe. We are blessed with friends in different…
Bled, Slovenia After nearly 3 months on the road, it is time for an R&R, which is our plan for the next 10 days or so. After departing Italy via Trieste, galloping across Slovenia – we didn’t even stop to buy a Vignette, we arrived in Croatia. Our first overnight stop was in Selce, but…
Selce, Croatia So, by now, we have driven down the front of the boot, down to the toe and partially circumnavigated the island of Sicily. Now it is time to drive across the foot and up the back of the boot. Surprisingly, the toe of Italy is quite long, so we decided to scoot up…
Marina di Pisticci, Italy Here is a dot-point summary of Sicily: – The roads are in dreadful condition · The drivers are crazy · The roads in the towns are narrow · Italians can’t park for nuts! · The coastline is stunning · The beaches actually have real sand · The water is barely above…
Villa San Giovanni, Italy In 2011, we spent about 4 days in Rome and did all the traditional tourist things – visited the Colisseum, the Forum, went to the Vatican and looked at the Sistine Chapel, ticked off the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps, ate copious quantities of gelati and generally enjoyed ourselves.…
Bracciano, Italy We have visited a few different Departments in France, but have never been down on the Mediterranean Coast, so we though that we would head over to Monaco, crossing the French-Italian border in the Maritime Alps before beginning our time in Italy. So we overnighted at Cuneo, after having driven through Asti (home…
Cuneo, Italy I like writing the blog because we get to share our adventures with our friends, and we also keep a record of where we’ve been and what we’ve done. Having said all that, it is a chore that sometimes just doesn’t want to get done. Sadly, this blog entry is one of those…
Poole, United Kingdom And so, now we are back in England – I was about to say “Sunny England”, but there is nothing sunny about the weather at the moment! Our plan was to arrive and overnight just outside Reading before heading across to pick up Oscar (our Motorhome) and heading up to Oxford to…
