Massif Central, Troglodytes and Templar Knights

Legs down on another site. This time we chose a site run by a lovely Dutch couple, on the side of another mountain. This holiday is starting to repeat itself. Just in case I haven't mentioned before, The Boss has a love of mountains, bridges, waterfalls, old cemeteries, castles and war graves. On route he... Continue Reading →

Arrivederci Italy, Bonjour France, Howdy America 

We have just discovered the most expensive road in Europe. We join the motorway towards France at Ventimiglia, Italy. We take a toll ticket, we drive approx 100 yards around a bend to another toll booth and hand in the ticket, €6, "You are having a bloody laugh" didn't reduce the cost so we just...

Van to SanRemo & No Go Monaco

A second significant ant invasion forced us to shout "We're soft babies, get me out of here!" and cut short our stay at Barco Reale one day early. The second invasion was realised after one climbed from my cleavage and waved at me, as if to say "You think this is bad, look over to... Continue Reading →

Two Tour Tuscany

The final eight mile approach to our next caravan campsite site is why we chose it, we are winding and zig-zagging our way up a big big hill with dozens of full-kit cyclists, they are panting with exhaustion we are holding our breaths in anticipation of each corner. The views are amazing both North and... Continue Reading →

Lake Garda, so hard to leave.

We instantly like Italy, all the roads are downhill, ... yes? After climbing out of Innsbruck towards the Brenner Pass we part with €9 at the Toll Booth, seemingly for a tin of peppermints. We then begin two hours of driving downhill and now assume Italy must be two miles below sea level, the car... Continue Reading →

Austria in the Caravan 

"Yeeeaaaaaahhhh, your brakes are on fire" was playing in my head, to a certain 'Kings of Leon' tune, as we descended the Mittenwald/Scharnitz pass towards Innsbruck. We have literally only travelled 43 miles from Garmisch to our new site Natterer See, near Innsbruck. Until the song started playing in my head it was a very... Continue Reading →

Old Romantics

The Romantic Road (Romantische Straße) runs approximately 200 miles from Würzburg to Füssen linking 28 scenic historical towns along the way. Moving south towards the Alps we decided a leisurely romantic drive would be preferable to Autobahn tedium and the accompanying wobbles as vans pass our caravan at unrestricted speeds. While the scenery in parts is... Continue Reading →

The Cute and Brute of Germany

The Sun is shining bright, must be moving on day, just typical. Approx five hours easy Autobahn driving down to Bavaria. Beautiful open scenery that would be constantly up and down if it wasn't for the multitude of bridges smoothing our way across the valleys. We have been travelling with a bit of 'blue' in...

Happy Caravanning 

As the season starts to take off and sites that have been quiet all winter suddenly wake up. The hustle and bustle of the holidays takes hold of caravanning families across the country.  We have a reasonably sized 'van for the two of us but being inside such a confined space it's important to have...

Half Timber Houses & Sausages

Our need for a washing machine and Wifi dictated our next stop of the tour. So we find ourselves deep into Germany near the City of Kassel. Camping in Naumberg is to be our home for the next few days. Again, more than happy with first impressions of the site, this might have had something... Continue Reading →
