The last of our cooking gas was used for breakfast today so we hit Decathlon (store like Rebel Sports in NZ) before really getting on the road. Roni purchased half of some new togs for a bargain – the other ones were too stretched/big to be safe in ... Read more >

This morning Roni got up, showered, dressed and returned to the campsite just as rain was coming. We struck the tent lightning fast and threw everything in the back of the car just before the rain came down – whew! Bray got clean and dressed then we ... Read more >

We struck camp early and headed toward La Rochelle in the misty dawn. Spotted a Brocante fair in Cozes on the way and stopped to peruse the stalls. Were sorely tempted by a full croquet set for 15Euro but resisted the temptation and left there with ... Read more >

Today was HOT . This morning we took a wee while to get going. Roni up first and went to the camp cafe for a ‘real’ coffee as she tried to make a dent in the backlog of photos to be labelled. Bray emerged eventually, feeling a bit rubbish – not ... Read more >

Last night was dew-ilicious so we took longer to get on the road today. The fly was spread over a hedge and given time to dry out while we caught up on the journal, emails and checking out maps for today. Hit the road around 12 and began our trip ... Read more >

We were on
the road pretty early today. Last night when looking at pics from the day we
discovered that the phone had not saved any of our pics from lighthouse
adventuring! Gutted.
So we went
and had breakfast next to it and wandered ... Read more >

This morning
Roni was up early (one of the benefits of sleeping on a hill – you slide...)

joy! Back up the hill and hung the fly out in the sun to dry then got ... Read more >

Packed out
of El Masnou and hit the road. Today was the day we were meant to go to Museu
Picasso as it’s free today...sorry Mum and Christine – we’ll go to galleries in
France! The lack of central city parking made it nigh impossible on ... Read more >

The ocean!
YAY! View of it this morning almost eased away the pain in our pockets from

breakfast, using wi-fi, watching the MANY cats as they attempted to catch
pigeons ... Read more >

the tent before ... Read more >

This morning
Roni was up with the birds and pottered around in the welcome coolness of the

On the road again relatively quickly and heading North to France.... Read more >

Bray ... Read more >

A slow start
today, eventually got up and headed out in search of a movie theatre still

showing it L
We got some ... Read more >

An early
start – eating breakfast at 6.30am then outside waiting for pickup to take us
to our Bangkok bus. We got a bit concerned as the pick up still hadn’t arrived
and 8am bus departure time was getting very
near.
A tuk ... Read more >
