We both woke up early on Monday morning and, as we had a big drive ahead, we got up and got packing. By 9:15am we were at the local supermarket, then we filled up on diesel and before 10am we were on the motorway and heading in to Belgium. We travelled all the way up […]
On Sunday morning, after locating Rodney’s second pair of missing sunglasses, we caught the bus in to Luxembourg City Centre. I think I managed to confuse the bus driver and many other locals later on, with my complete muddle of languages; I’m really not sure what I’m even supposed to be speaking in Luxembourg, it
Only one week left travelling around Europe in Eileen; now we’ll be counting the days and not the weeks. We packed up fairly early and left Eberbach to drive beside the Neckar River towards Heidelberg. At Ziegelhausen we turned north across country to Schriesheim. It would probably have been quicker to go closer to Heidelberg
When we boarded the 9:29am train at Eberbach, it was full, with students sprawled all over the seats and the floor, but amongst the chaos we managed to find two spare seats. At the next stop some people got on with bicycles and a group of students who were playing an amusingly intensive game of
At 9:15am we were all packed up and driving out of the Detwang campsite. We joined the motorway heading south……south ?!!! Aren’t we heading in the general direction of Calais? No Rodney fancied checking out Schwäbisch Hall, before aiming for Heidelberg. Schwäbisch Hall turned out to be an unusual town; a mix of mediaeval, baroque
On Friday we got up really late, at 9:15; brilliant !!! I spent what was left of the morning catching up on computer stuff and when Rodney finished his breakfast at 11:15am, he gave Eileen a bit of clean outside. A short walk around the tiny village of Detwang and along the river was about
Day one of week fourteen started with mushrooms on toast and then we left the campsite at Winkl, drove down to Berchtesgaden and then up a very steep hill to the Hintereck car park for a trip up to Kehlsteinhaus, also known as Eagle’s Nest. The building is situated right on the top of a
Having said goodbye to our Scottish neighbours and Rodney’s German man, who he had befriended the night before, we left the campsite-with-the-longest-name. It only took us an hour to drive to Salzburg and arriving at 10:45am at Panorama Camping Stadtblick, must be the earliest check-in we have done yet! The campsite is high on
Thursday morning started with low clouds hanging around the campsite; perhaps a good day to sit in Eileen and travel 150kms to the next campsite. We left at 9:20am and just as we got on to the main road heading out of Zel- Am-See we hit a short traffic jam. This was quickly followed by
On Monday we woke up to the most brilliant, bright blue sky, so we were definitely going to go up another mountain. We left Camping Mayrhofen and drove up to Hintertux, at the end of the Tuxertal Valley. We filled a rucksack with all the warm clothes in our wardrobe, fleecies, scarves, gloves, hats, padded
