Again, we knew nothing about this tiny country, except that somehow it is part of Great Britain, and
were plagued by the same questions as Andorra. What is there to see?
What language do they speak? Does Mike need a visa? These were pretty
quickly ... Read more >

We have fallen in love
with Andalucia. We made a deliberate decision to skip the motorway in
favour of the longer, but more scenic mountain roads as we headed
south. We had certainly had our own pre-conceived ideas of Spain and
what we thought ... Read more >

We needed to head south
and had already decided to go via Cordoba, but at the last minute we
included two tiny towns called Ubeda and Baeza, recommended by 'the
book' for their medieval buildings. This was probably our first real
glimpse of Spanish ... Read more >

We skipped Murcia in
favour of heading inland to see Madrid, but before leaving the coast
we headed south to visit Tarragona as recommended. Interesting Roman
ruins, but after only half an hour of driving, we were still way to
cold to get out ... Read more >

Departure day from
Barcelona dawned orange and cold. I couldn't

the van watching the sun rise.... Read more >

Barcelona
loomed upon us earlier than we expected, which was a huge bonus as we
had discovered by then that our intended campsite was closing for the
winter, giving us only one full day to explore the city instead of
two. So we made the most of ... Read more >
ANDORRA | Sunday, 31 Oct 2010 | Views [207]
As we approached the
imaginary line separating Andorra from France, Mike and I both
realised we knew absolutely nothing about Andorra (including any
possible visa requirements for Mike...which we discounted quickly
based on EU merits). So the benefits ... Read more >

We crossed the Channel
with Seafrance,
and I was back in
familiar territory...Calais docks on the right side of the
road. This was a 'pinch-yourself moment', we were actually doing
this! We headed straight down the west ... Read more >

After purse dramas in
Holland that morning (I had left it on my coach the night before - it had my passport in it, without it I wasn't going anywhere!), I caught the ferry to Dover with some
colleagues, where Mike met me with the van, bed ... Read more >

A nomadic 5 weeks spent
discovering the delights and wonders of Spain, Portugal and Morocco,
employing Mike's art of “winging it” and Carla learning how.
