Die fantastische Mosel

A slightly longer blog than normal but it does have lots of photos. After a very long WiFi less weekend. We are on the move again. Another 4.5hr drive away from the Black Forest to Cochem. An area recommended by a German friend of Steve. The journey is mainly on two lane autobahns were traffic... Continue Reading →

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 →

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 →

A Trip to White House Beach CAMC Site

Last minute as normal for us. Completely unplanned. Saturday morning the day dawned as it normally would, the weather wasn’t too bad, still not summer as we know it but it’s not raining. ‘Let’s take the caravan away’ he says. Not wanting to miss a trick I quickly book White House Beach in Suffolk, I... Continue Reading →

The Netherlands Part 3

Just over a two hour drive back to the site we started on last week. This is our fourth stay here, it’s a nice site, perfect for the beach, cycling and sightseeing. We set up very quickly as we didn’t really put anything away, we just dropped it all in bags for life and put... Continue Reading →

The Netherlands Part 2

Bit of a lazy start this morning. We’ve got till 12pm to depart so we do a slow pack up even going to the trouble of unpacking the kettle to brew up part way through. The motor mover came into its own getting off the pitch, it’s not often we use it but we got... Continue Reading →

A Rainy Day In

Still in The Netherlands, we woke to a hazy world with a BBC promise of less than a 40% chance of light showers over lunchtime. Forever the optimist, and the fact that I was about to put on my last pair of clean knickers, off I stomped with a bag for life full of dirty... Continue Reading →

The Netherlands

On a cold, wet, windy, autumn morning in June, we loaded the car, hoisted the tandem onto the roof and hitched the caravan onto the back. It’s been 11 months since we last took the caravan out and we were a little nervous. This car hadn’t towed before, the tow ball was newly sanded and... Continue Reading →
