A Much Improved French Week! The Southwest Coast
After our slightly fraught journey across France, we were happy to stay put for a few days and not find ourselves on the roads, fighting our way through blockades and traffic hell.

2018 – A Review of The Year
Now we are well into our 5th year of traveling we are used to our dynamic life. But 2018 is probably the most varied year we have had in terms of travel style and all round change and disruption.

Cheesed Off: Our Turbulent Journey to Get Through France
After our Eurotunnel journey we arrived in France just before dusk and given that we didn’t want to drive in the dark, we cosied up at a great free aire right near the tunnel entrance. We had no real plans for our route down to Spain, just a general idea that we wanted to get…

Visiting London in a Motorhome
We love cities. We really do but visiting them in a motorhome brings with it a specific set of challenges. In Hamburg we camped in a poky little parking lot right in the center but close to all of the action. In Amsterdam we stayed a quick ferry ride away from the main hustle and…

A Day of Contrasts in Berlin
After our wanderings along the Baltic Sea Coast it was time to turn around and start heading south. I have visited Berlin for work in the past, for Iain it was a new city. I remembered an impressive, modern city that seemed worthy of a revisit.

The Sunny German Seaside
When you think of Germany, images of castles, mountains, beer, bratwurst and pretzels probably come into your head; you rarely think of beaches. A lot of Germany is surrounded by land, in fact three sides have only land borders and even the coast on the northern border is interrupted where pesky Denmark is attached to…

Our Hanseatic City Tour to Bremen, Hamburg and Lübeck
Our plans in Germany were loose to say the least. We wanted to explore a few less well traveled areas, at least to non-German tourists, knowing that we could head to some of the more world-famous areas on future visits. We decided to head up to the Baltic coast to see what the German seaside…
