Austria - take 1 Europe » Austria

Gorgeous views up in the Austrian alps
- Day 43 -

Day 43 Wednesday 22nd July Day trip back into Germany to check out the Disney castle After moving our tents out to another section in the campground (not sure why, we just did as we were told), we hit the road for our day trip back into Germany to check out Schloss Neuschwanstein, the picture-perfect castle made famous, at least to many children around the world, by Disney. The drive there was just spectacular, with the views as we passed through the Austrian Alps simply breathtaking. The lovely blue skies and warm mid-twenty degree temperatures real [View Full Entry]

Germany - Take 1, Act 3 Europe

Sunflowers!
- Day 40 -

Day 40 Sunday 19th July Rothenburg ob der Tauber The lovely Danish couple Ilse and Jan woke us at 10am… They were off for the day and both wanted to say goodbye as well as give us our amended extension cord back. Craig had got talking to Jan the night before about our issues with the camping electricity outlets being different to the adapter we had, and kind Jan had a spare camping end and so wired up our lead for us. Very very kind and extremely helpful! The weather that greeted us as we stirred our sleepy bodies was [View Full Entry]

Germany - Sailauf - Act 1, Scene 2 Europe » Germany

The pool at Schollkrippen
- Day 34 -

Day 34 Monday 13th July Arriving in Sailauf We had a great sleep in until the school bell woke us all up at 9am on the dot. Any hope of then getting back to sleep was of course out of the question, with hundreds of screaming children, without volume control, running around above us. After packing up camp, we headed over to the pool to spend the morning there doing some itinerary planning for the rest of the trip as we weren’t due at Sailauf until 3pm. The Schollkrippen pool was gorgeous, with a massive main pool and diving board, [View Full Entry]

Germany! (Act 1, Scene 1) Europe » Germany

Our set up at Trier
- Day 31 -

Day 31 Friday 10th July Crossing into Germany Had a fantastic sleep-in until 10am - the constant drizzly weather is hardly motivating - and on the road just before lunch. It took us ages to finally cross into Germany as the weather was so terrible, with a quick lunch break at a service station seeing us all crowded under the open boot of the car trying to avoid getting wet. On the exciting side, we did have our first (and hopefully last) incident of driving on the wrong side of the road… Craig was coming off the motorway and went [View Full Entry]

The Netherlands! Europe » Netherlands

Our camp near Maastricht
- Day 26 -

Day 26 Sunday 5th July A flying trip into Aachen, Germany then on to Maastericht Had a good sleep-in, the little cretins next door still sleeping-in themselves. We really should have gone and played ball right next to their tent just to even up the score card... Packed up and away by 11am, swinging into Germany to explore the city of Aachen. Once again Flo let us down with her ‘campsite’ which turned out to be an industrial area (seriously, how old is the camping information in these sat-navs?), and so we headed into town in search of an [View Full Entry]

And back in England again! Europe » United Kingdom » England

Driving out to Holy Island
- Day 16 -

Day 16 Thursday 25th June There were a few queezy bellies in the morning, and so our journey out of town was a little longer as we tried to find a KFC or McDonalds to get an infusion of greece into the hungover bodies in the car... We had no luck however, and this also put us a bit off course, meaning a later start to the day. Our destination for the day was Alnwick* Castle, where parts of the first two Harry Potter films, along with many many other movies were filmed. We parked up and went in to [View Full Entry]

The crossing over - Belgium here we come! Europe » Belgium

Ready to go again
- Day 23 -

Day 23 Thursday 2nd July Crossing the English Channel, into France and up to Brugge in Belgium After a lovely last breakfast of scrambled eggs thanks to chef Carolyn, we were off and away by 9.30am, leaving a poor heartbroken dog behind us (Bodhi knew something was up and I have never before seen a dog sulk with such a sad sad face before...) From Bedfordshire, we drove straight across to Dover and began the looong process of boarding the ferry across to mainland Europe - lots of queues and waiting - but we had plenty of snacks that Carolyn [View Full Entry]

Scotland! Wee Bonnie Scotland! Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland

Welcome to Scotland Dav!
- Day 9 -

Day 9 Thursday 18th June The wind really picked up in the early morning hours, causing the tarp to flap about like crazy, waking all four of us... and probably all of our neighbours too. So after an early morning tarp demolition, it was back to bed and a nice little deserved sleep-in. The morning weather when we woke for a second time was again quite miserable, so after packing all our belongings away into the car (again... this is wearing a bit thin... already... not good!), we hit the road for the drive up into Scotland! We stopped at [View Full Entry]

Wales! Europe » United Kingdom » Wales

Picnic at Cosmeston Lake
- Day 3 -

Day 3 Friday 12th June After packing up camp, it was a couple of hours drive before we crossed over into Wales, our sixth country! Our destination for the night was a town called Barry on the south coast, where we were staying with Lynne, a lady Dav and I met in Ireland. We were a little early to go there, but a little late to head into Cardiff, so we stopped just outside of Barry at Cosmeston Lake. There we had some lunch and plotted out our itinerary for the rest of the UK trip, while being surrounded by [View Full Entry]

Bye bye Wales.... hello England... again! Europe » United Kingdom » England

Relaxing by Coniston Waters
- Day 7 -

Day 7 Tuesday 16th June The sun beating down on the tent meant an early start to the morning, and so after the boys had a quick dip in the stream, we were on the road again. Our first stop was the township of Betws-y-Coed, a cute little village that was quite sweet. We all had a walk around, buying a few souvenirs and having a drink, before once again hitting the road. From Betws-y-Coed, we said goodbye to Wales as we headed back into England and on to the Lakes District. We made really great time, arriving in Windermere [View Full Entry]
