America Here We Come

Our early morning alarm rouses us from a very light sleep. We never sleep well the night before we go away. Up, showered, last bit of packing and all my houseplants bungled into the bath. Our taxi to Heathrow pulled up quietly outside right on time. Our cases felt heavy as they were loaded into... Continue Reading →

Luxembourg City … for FREE

Before we traveled to Luxembourg everybody joked that we had to purchase all our provisions before entering as it was so expensive. Well, our experience is the total opposite, during the (least expensive of the trip) campsite 'check in' the receptionist had said, "Here's your pitch, here's the toilets, public transport is free, do you...

Next stop Luxembourg

Our last night in Germany and the rain hammered on the roof, the lightning flashed and the thunder crashed. Packing up tomorrow is going to be easy as we have taken the canopy down, packed the aqua roll and wastemaster away ahead of the storm. 11am we’ve said our goodbyes to our neighbours, during the...

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 →

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 →
