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”
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”
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”
Wonderful Gouda, Holland
We’re back on the road again! With the travel restrictions finally being lifted, Olli and I left from Harwich in the UK late last night on the overnight ferry to Hook of Holland in the Netherlands. I like coming on that route as it’s close to Suffolk where I’m usually based when I’m in theContinue reading “Wonderful Gouda, Holland”
Road test – Winter in Southern Spain and Portugal
I finally managed to escape the cold England grip in early December and set off as far South in Spain as I could go. I met up with my Dutch friends Erik and Joke – who travel in a humongous motorhome – and we toured down to Malaga in Spain together, seeing more and moreContinue reading “Road test – Winter in Southern Spain and Portugal”
Homeless without Rayquaza
Today I handed over my home for the last three years, my motorhome Rayquaza, to the new buyers. Whilst I’m very happy she went to a young, enthusiatic and absolutely lovely couple who want to make her their new home, I’m quite sad now! She looked after me well, and took me from Denmark toContinue reading “Homeless without Rayquaza”
Updating RayQuaza
My motorhome, named RayQuaza, will be 12 years old next year. For most motorhomes, that is not too old but for one in which you live full-time, it’s perhaps time to be replaced. It’s still a great motorhome for occasional use and I hope to find a good buyer for her! (and if you knowContinue reading “Updating RayQuaza”
It’s cold and wet in Buda and Pest
I’ve managed to get to Budapest where I have about ten days to sort out a few things including a series of follow up visits to a (brilliant) dentist I visited last year. Since her practise is on the Buda side, I decided to try a different than my usual campsite and stayed at “NicheContinue reading “It’s cold and wet in Buda and Pest”
