England in 6 days. Accommodation : - Number 63 a Bed and Breakfast across from Hyde Park, 50mtrs from The Swan a traditional London Pub, 300 mtrs from Tube station, a 10 min walk to Notting Hill. A perfect location for us. Rooms small yet big enough for what we needed, heating worked a treat, double glazed windows so no traffic noise. Breakfast Yummy lots to choose from. Price was on the expensive side yet now I’ve seen London I would not hesitate to stay there again. WOW what can one see and do with only 6 days in England. We managed to see all the sights, Big Ben, Westminster Abby, Palaces, Southbank, London Eye, Royal Albert Hall, parks and so on. As we went in Winter, we had less day light then travelling in summer, ... read more

The Alaska part of our trip is now over and we are back in LA. Basically we went to four main areas: Prudhoe Bay, Denali NP, Prince William Sound and Katmai NP Prudhoe Bay lies at the very top of Alaska and is bordered by the Arctic Ocean. There is an extensive oil field area here stretching over 100 miles. All supplies have to be trucked in along a gravel road known as the Haul Road (Dalton Hwy). There are literally thousands of workers up there living in prefab buildings, it is like an industrial estate, all buildings are constructed on gravel pads so they don’t get soggy in the spring when the ice and snow start to melt. The other big thing is the light. The sun doesn’t set for several months during summer. You ... read more

Since our last update we have moved through Bryce Canyon Zion Canyon Then back into California for Sequoia NP Kings Canyon NP Yosemite NP and drove northward to Klamath and the Redwood forests not far from the Oregon border. Through much of the last week and a half the weather has been poor, hasn’t rained every day but been pretty dull and overcast and cold and there hasn’t been many visible sunsets or sunrises and this has impacted on the photography. They are all beautiful places worthy of seeing, we just didn’t get to see them at their best. The landscapes of Bryce and Zion are amazing. Rocky spires formed by erosion and steep canyon walls. Back in California the thickly wooded slopes of Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite are a world away from the dry ... read more

Hi all We had a pretty smooth flight but no sleep and made it safely to LA and got through the admin stuff pretty well at the airport. We cabbed to the Motorhome place and had to sort a few issues there before we were on our way. Glad I knew what I had booked and paid for because they didn’t seem to. Driving out of LA was a bit challenging, the GPS was flat and wasn’t charging, the motorhome is kind of big with side mirrors that stick way out and of course I had to drive on the wrong side of the road and sit on the wrong side of the vehicle. Corinne did well with the paper map we had and we navigated successfully to Vegas 5hrs later. We eventually found our RV ... read more
