Week 10-Romania

ROMANIA | Tuesday, 4 Sep 2012 | Views [529]

It was a restless sleep due to a major thunder and lightening storm we experienced. It reminded me of a haunted movie! Speaking to the staff the next morning I was told it was very unusual weather for this time of the year. It was amplified by the ... Read more >

Week 5-Germany

GERMANY | Friday, 10 Aug 2012 | Views [511]

Following Dijon we headed East just past the German boarder to the outskirts of Frieburg in sizzling temperatures that I would suspect were in the high 30’s with 100% humidity. It was such a hard drive in that heat, especially when you feel the heat ... Read more >


Week 4-France

FRANCE | Friday, 10 Aug 2012 | Views [382]

In the morning I collected the baguette and two croissants I had pre ordered (one of the things I am beginning to love about European campsites!) and after a tasty breakfast we packed up and set off for Millau-to see the recently built bridge over ... Read more >


Week 3-Spain

SPAIN | Sunday, 22 Jul 2012 | Views [378] | Comments [1]

With Dusty (our campervan) all packed, we said our farewells to London for the next 5 months, heading direct to Dover. We weren’t catching the ferry until 6am the next morning so we took the opportunity to see the White Cliffs of Dover and drive around ... Read more >
