Heading To The Hills

Ten years ago we were motorhome novices, but now we feel like seasoned veterans…..most of the time……. Saturday 28th May 2022 I do enjoy sitting with maps in my lap planning which road to take next. Our plans for next week are set in stone, so we only had to plan for the weekend. The […]

Cycling The Costa Brava

“Toilets only for the use of Costumers” a sign seen outside a toilet next to a restaurant in Spain Wednesday 25th May 2022 “Let’s get moving, there’s more corners to look around”, said Rodney. So we left Pineda de Mar and drove north through Blanes, looking for a garden to visit. I followed Google maps,

Something Is Broken

If you never make a plan nothing can ever go wrong Monday 23rd May 2022 We cycled into Peniscola for the very last time to check out market day and then farewelled Nicky and David, not knowing when, or where, we will get to see them again. Back at Reggie, we strapped the bikes on

Peniscola Amongst Friends

If valencia oranges come from Valencia and seville oranges come from Seville, where do navel oranges come from? Wednesday 18th May 2022 I started the day early with another yoga session with the sparrows.  One sparrow in particular was very inquisitive, hopping about around me, but he flew off when I did the eagle pose!

Benicassim-Butlins-By-The-Sea

‘Hither and Thither’….nobody seems to go there anymore.  But we did. Monday 16th May 2022 Reggie was filled with water, and waste tanks were emptied again before we headed out of Camping Albarracin and motored south-west towards the Mediterranean Sea.  It should be about a 200kms drive to the coast.  And it was. We arrived

More Old Bits of Southern Aragon.

Travel is no longer just a mindset or a dream; it’s happening again ! Saturday 14th May 2022 We followed a Belgian Duster SUV car towing a Weltbummier caravan out of the Zaragoza campsite; sorry, the names just tickled me.  It was a very easy pleasant drive on an almost empty road south to Teruel.

Zaragoza Strolling

Our time is now spent on the grey pages. We therefore add colour. Friday 13th May 2022 It’s Friday 13th.  Are we being foolish tackling public transport into a large unknown city? Or am I just being overly superstitious?  We found the bus stop for a No.41 going in the correct direction to the city

Tudela Transiently

See a little more, learn a little more, expand our knowledge a little more and maybe that will make us better people…….just a little bit more Thursday 12th May 2022 While watching all the bikers packing up and leaving, we could feel Reggie tremble with the noise and vibration of their machines. And then everything

Semi Desert With The Heat Rising

We didn’t waste time, we used it. Wednesday May 11th Leaving Pamplona turned out to be a bit tricky. Yesterday, on the bikes, we couldn’t find our way in. Today we couldn’t find our way out! All roads, every road, led to Pamplona. At one point we found ourselves heading to France!! It took us

We’re In Pamplune, Or Is It Iruña, Or Is It Pamplona?

When does a hill become a mountain? Monday 9th May 2022 The day started with a mist hanging around the valley, but by 10:10am, having packed up, done the shopping and got on the road, the sky had cleared to a cloudless, vibrant blue.  A winding road led us out of St Jean Pied de

A Dramatic Change Of Scenery

Even after all these years, motorhome travelling is still a work in progress. Saturday 7th May 2022 A €5.90 toll and another €5.90 toll got us “down south’, almost out of France and into Spain. For most of the journey on the péage, the scenery was rather dull, flat, with seemingly continuous pine plantations.  Plus,

Idling Around The Île d’Oléron

So here we go, travelling from over here to over there.  Not sure yet where over there is, but at the end of this jaunt in Reggie I guess we’ll find out. Wednesday 4th May 2022 We had breakfast guests again and then the two of us set off on our new bicycles for the

Back On The Road…Yet Again

It’s all about positive thinking Monday 2nd May 2022 Setting off from Julia and Kevin’s house we encountered a little light rain.  “That’s not on” we said. We only want dry weather, thankyou.  Ah well it’s mainly a driving day.  It had stopped by the time we reached Luçon where we walked into the biggest

Back Indoors Again

On our to do list for today – laughing, smiling, talking, eating, sleeping. Saturday 30th May 2022 A lovely sunny day spent with old friends.  After a load of washing was pegged on the line, it was nice to be putting on some lighter, more summery clothes for a change.  We then hit the market

From Point To Point

Travel may not change your life but it does somehow expand it. Thursday 28 April 2022 Up at 7am, or maybe it was 10 minutes later because it’s warmer to stay in bed until the heating has warmed up Reggie’s interior. Breakfast √. Send the bed to the ceiling √ . Pack everything away √.
