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 →
Camping in Naumburg, Germany

EuroTunnel in a Caravan
This is our second caravan trip to Europe and on both occasions we have gone via Eurotunnel.
