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 →
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 →
Lanzarote – normal service has been resumed
Lanzarote is like my comfort blanket. It’s a place I know well and feel safe to be on my own when Steve is riding. We do try to get out here once a year with other holidays thrown in along the way. This year is different, normally we book things individually, we book the flights... Continue Reading →
Puerto del Carmen Carnival
We’ve been coming here now once, maybe twice, a year for about ten years. We always come over the winter months and we always seemed to miss the carnival and St Patrick’s Day. I suppose mainly because we had to be back at work at the end of February after having winter off. I’d always... Continue Reading →
Leaky Lanzarote
We should’ve realised on our journey to Gatwick that this was going to be a holiday with a difference. Junction 10 on the M25 was closed so we had planned to take the back roads down to the airport. 5am and the car was frozen solid, trying to crack the doors open to load the... Continue Reading →
Catavanning
A few days ago we went to give the caravan the once over, just checking it’s ok and hasn’t blown off in the recent storms we’ve had. It was still exactly where we had left it but very green, one of the joys of storing on a farm near trees. In order to return it... Continue Reading →
Mount Teide by Bicycle
If there’s a sure way to put pressure on yourself to do something ‘epic’ then announce beforehand that you are going to do it. We are in Tenerife as we want to explore another Island in The Canaries other than our usual choice Lanzarote, in case we are missing something special, but also because it... Continue Reading →
