I left Andrea and his wonderful town of Pieve di Soligo and routed through the Austrian alps to Germany.

Wow. What an amazing routing. I’ll simply have to come back and do this at a far more leisurely pace as clearly there is plenty to explore.

The scenery was stunning and I can imagine the drone footage to be shot here!

On the Italian side, I stopped at a petrol station that even had a dedicated area for motorhomes complete with electricity (seemingly free) and some lawn space. I’ll write about this as a review but it’s the first time I saw something like that. Certainly very easy to sleep over there on a longer journey.

I made my way to Germany where I paid a quick visit to my friend Kiki, and it’s obvious I’ll have to go back and properly explore the beautiful town of Rottweil. (this is becoming a theme, clearly, wanting to go back to places…)

Then a stopover in Menz, France, using the superbly located municipal campsite there.

Before the crossing on the very efficient Eurotunnel, I usually stay over just outside Calais, and was greeted with a superb farewell sunrise this morning.

Farewell to the Continent for now, I’ll be back soon. For reasons other than just scenery, let me assure you.. Portugal beckons! 💘
