Turned up on a beautiful sunny afternoon. I'm sure sunshine makes everything look amazing. Had we turned up in the rain I might not have been so thrilled. Reception is a lovely building adorned with caravan items from quite expensive BBQs to blue and pink loo and oozing with leaflets for things to do in... 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...

Camping Paradies Franken, Germany
A member of the ACSI discount scheme. We tried calling in advance but couldn't get the call to connect so took a chance and just turned up. Welcomed by a gentleman who gestured for us to wait a moment. Off he scuttled and returned with a fluent English speaking young lady. Booked in and walked... Continue Reading →
Washing day
2 weeks into our trip and we're fast running out of warm clothes to wear. The weather hasn't been unkind to us but it hasn't been drying weather. At our last site I fed a pocket full of Euros into the washer and the drier in the hope of trying to keep us going for... Continue Reading →
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.

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
On the edge of a pretty little town the campsite is opposite a small water park, that in early May was still closed. Arriving slightly out of hours, just after 5pm, the wardens buzzed us in and went through the booking in process with us. Once again this site is part of the ACSI discount... Continue Reading →
The ‘Low’ Lands and ‘Highs’ of Amsterdam
The wind was blowing a hooley as we headed north on the second leg of our trip, our Dutch neighbour 'Max' said it would not be too windy to take the coastal route, I think the Dutch must be more hardened to the wind judging by the colour of The Boss' knuckles holding onto the... Continue Reading →

Keukenhof -The Garden of Tulips… and People
Beautiful sunny day predicted by the weather app, rain tomorrow. With only 2 days before we pack up the caravan and head towards our next destination we decide that today is the day to visit the 'tulips of (just south of) Amsterdam'. It seems that the world, his wife and his dog looked at the... Continue Reading →
