Last days of the trip

A marathon journey, eight hours, no peage, and we've only done six inches on the map. One of the hottest days of the trip so far and I've been sat in the passenger seat with a French map book stuck to my knees having map reading lessons. I've no idea why I need to learn... Continue Reading →

Lazy Ladybird Days & Six Inches on a Map

Arriving at Camping La Coccinelle was the start of our last week and hopefully the start of a bit of Rest & Relaxation.  We arrived and it was blowing a hooley.  Shown to a pitch we decided against putting the canopy up and quickly retreated inside the caravan. We were feeling a bit of a... Continue Reading →

La Coccinelle, Blot l’Église, France

A member of the ACSI discount scheme.  This site comes with really good reviews. Which we always flick through before attending any site. One review stated that one of the approach roads was a little hairy. So, as the Satnav took us nearer we were ready for it. The road had a few tight bends... Continue Reading →

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 →

Le Papillon, La Cresse, France

A site on the ACSI discount scheme in France. Halfway up a mountain with spectacular views from every pitch. We phoned en route to this site to check availability of pitches as our caravan was going to have to do a bit of climbing and venture through some narrow roads to get there. The nearby...

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...

La Sousta, Pont du Gard, France

A beautiful woodland site on the banks of the river L'Alzon. Part of the ACSI discount scheme.  Arrival at reception, booked in quickly, choose a pitch and let them know which one. A restaurant/takeaway is located next to reception while a shop selling fresh bread, espadrilles and basic food essentials is to the rear of... Continue Reading →

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 →

Camping Vallecrosia, Italy

Another ACSI card site, again we just turn up. This site had worried us as to whether we'd get a pitch, the Monaco, only twenty miles away, Grand Prix weekend and we arrived to a queue of people trying to get in.  As luck would have it they had one remaining pitch big enough to...
