Regen, Regen, Geh Weg

The rain pounds the caravan roof on and off during the night and into the late morning. During a brief spell where it’s just spitting I wander over to the huge toilet block. A very modern facilities block complete with free 5 minute dishwashers to use free of charge and you can book your own... Continue Reading →

Into Germany to Muck About

We really had to take our time packing up this morning. Departure time 11.30am and arrival at the next site is 1pm with just over an hour travelling time between the two sites. Riquewihr has been a lovely site to stop off at. Just two nights, I possibly could have done a third as I... Continue Reading →

Out and About in the Alsace

You will have to excuse me and my ignorance in this blog, we went out on the tandem and visited loads of little chocolate box villages. I will do my best to get the right photos with the correct town or village but if I get it wrong just enjoy the photos. Dry today, thank... Continue Reading →

Day 3 – Riquewihr

Packing up in the morning sunshine is lovely. We are done and dusted within about half an hour and hitched up on the back of the car. We will be sad to leave our first site, it was so quiet and so friendly. The only down side was that they wanted 8€ a day for... Continue Reading →

Day 2 – Guignicourt

We sleep till 9am and probably could have slept longer but the heat inside the van is starting to get too much. Door thrown open and in floods… more hot air. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Today is going to be a day on the tandem, which is probably just... Continue Reading →

Day 1 Guignicourt

A 5.30am start can only mean one thing, we’re off on holiday again. Shower and a strong cup of tea whilst randomly chucking the odd forgotten item in a bag for life, I’m guaranteed to have forgotten something. We fuelled the car yesterday and discovered that the road to our caravan storage is closing for... Continue Reading →

Lanzarote – normal service has been resumed

Lanzarote is like my comfort blanket. It’s a place I know well and feel safe to be on my own when Steve is riding. We do try to get out here once a year with other holidays thrown in along the way. This year is different, normally we book things individually, we book the flights... Continue Reading →

Puerto del Carmen Carnival

We’ve been coming here now once, maybe twice, a year for about ten years. We always come over the winter months and we always seemed to miss the carnival and St Patrick’s Day. I suppose mainly because we had to be back at work at the end of February after having winter off. I’d always... Continue Reading →

Leaky Lanzarote

We should’ve realised on our journey to Gatwick that this was going to be a holiday with a difference.  Junction 10 on the M25 was closed so we had planned to take the back roads down to the airport.  5am and the car was frozen solid, trying to crack the doors open to load the...

Catavanning

A few days ago we went to give the caravan the once over, just checking it’s ok and hasn’t blown off in the recent storms we’ve had. It was still exactly where we had left it but very green, one of the joys of storing on a farm near trees. In order to return it... Continue Reading →
