It’s been a while since I gave an update – after spending quite some time in Bulgaria sorting out my vaccinations and getting an EU vaccination certificate as well, I thought it best to try and put it to the test…Greece and Bulgaria were both early adoptors of this certificate and I’ve always wanted toContinue reading “Greece!”

There’s more to Bulgaria than Sofia and Plovdiv!
I’ve been in, and through, Bulgaria many times. I even have a business based in Plovdiv, but I’ve never really spent much time in Bulgaria. Plovdiv is also very convenient as a stop before you cross over to / from Turkey, and after that, if coming back from Turkey, I would usually head for Sofia,Continue reading “There’s more to Bulgaria than Sofia and Plovdiv!”
Turkey remains full of surprises
I’ve not written on here for some time – but during that entire time I’ve remained in Turkey, spending much of my time wildcamping along the south coast. If at the start of my trip here I thought Turkey was a great motorhoming / wildcamping / get-away-from-the-madness destination, then all of that has been reconfirmedContinue reading “Turkey remains full of surprises”
Festive Greetings
Merry Christmas to you and yours, and my best wishes for a super fantastic 2021!
Back in Turkey
I’ve been in the UK for work and catching up with friends but I was missing my usual escape to warmer climates over the winter months. Whilst the pandemic continued to impact everything in most countries, more strict lockdowns were being re-introduced in Spain and Portugal and I also got word of some motorhomers beingContinue reading “Back in Turkey”
Back in the UK for a bit
Germany kept offering more motorhome stopover gems and Koblenz did not dissapoint. The motorhome parking in this city is on the river, and you are spoilt for choice of walks and things to see. Koblenz is where the Moselle and Rhine rivers join and the river is actually very active, making for some interesting andContinue reading “Back in the UK for a bit”
East to West
I’ve been very lucky in being able to travel around Eastern Europe as far as the Black Sea this season, but before I head to Portugal for the winter I have to go to the UK for two months. Not the most ideal time to be going considering the state of the pandemic but nonetheless,Continue reading “East to West”
Exploring Romania, Bulgaria and the Black Sea Coast
After my (shorter, thanks Covid) summer holiday in Hungary this year I ventured out to Plovdiv in Bulgaria where I had some paperwork to do. I decided to route via Romania and explore a bit off the beaten track. My route followed the Serbian border and I went to a camp at a lake inContinue reading “Exploring Romania, Bulgaria and the Black Sea Coast”
Tesa Autolevelling for my motorhome
I’ve always been very keen to get an auto-levelling system installed in my motorhome but I’ve been put off by the high cost and weight of the default hydraulic systems. I saw an electric solution developed in Italy called Tesa and contacted a few UK dealers about this, but they were all quite booked upContinue reading “Tesa Autolevelling for my motorhome”
Via Switzerland to north Italy
After Holland I routed via Switzerland to get to just north of Milan in Italy, where I was going to get an electric auto-levelling system installed. My good friends Bryan, Sheila and their dog Ziggy have a house in Grimentz, Switzerland and so I routed to pass near them and we met up in theContinue reading “Via Switzerland to north Italy”
