I would like to tell you that we’ve arrived back home, the caravan has been emptied and cleaned, all of its contents are back in the house, I’ve done wash load after wash load, gotten our belongings out of store from the man cave, our clothes are back in the dressing room and we’re ship […]

Creuse Nature – The Final Sunshine
Before leaving Cap d’Agde we went for our Antigen tests as late as we could, so we had as much of the three days’ cover possible whilst driving North. We set off in drizzle and got ourselves comfortable in the Poacher with the heater on and the wipers going for a long drive. Previously we […]
Read MoreGoodbye French Riviera
During our three weeks’ stay at Cap d’Agde there was no urgency to get up early, the sun continued to shine, I had my sun lounger to sprawl on, the beach close by, the Mediterranean to swim in and there were plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance for us to visit and people […]

It’s taken me a while to think about what to write and how to write this post, but I think I got there! We arrived in the French Riviera a week ago and checked into the family campsite Centre Naturiste Rene Oltra, established 70 years ago, which is within the gated Cap d’Agde Naturist Village […]

Entomology has been added to our list of caravanning skills! Around sunset the light fades, the caravan takes on a brilliance which attracts anything small that flies, it’s not hummingbirds or owls I’m referring to but insects, in fact even during the day we encounter them.

We chose the campsite in Modena for a short stopover, because it was conveniently located just off the motorway and of course conveniently close to get back on. Our minimum stay, unless we are in a rush, is two nights which is what we did there to give us time to plan where to go […]

We remembered our excitement at arriving in Croatia, a country neither of us had been to before, way back at the end of March. We stayed for six weeks at Camping Stobreč, the weather was cold, especially overnight and first thing, we slept under double duvets, everyone wore masks, we loved our excursions in bearable […]

English really is an international Language From staying at the Campsite in Albania and here at Galeb in Croatia – Montenegro doesn’t count as Dušan spoke several languages, and nor do the previous ones as they were empty – I already knew that English is not just spoken for us Brits at campsite reception desks […]
Read MoreGeorge’s Catamaran to Brač
As soon as we had set up in Kamp Galeb, I sent George a WhatsApp to let him know that Steve and I were in Omis for a few days and we would love to take a trip on his catamaran to Brač. He responded almost immediately saying he remembered us well and that we […]

We reached the border of Croatia from Montenegro bang on 8:30am last Tuesday morning (a week ago – where does our time go?) and unbelievably we were the only vehicle going through so it was straight up to the Border Booth. Seeing so many beaches coming to life en route we couldn’t believe the lack […]
