STORYTELLING
Thanks John and Maureen! It was a little adventure but thoroughly enjoyed it! John had the car and van under the control, thought we may have had a flat on those rugged tracks but all good! Did you get your motorhome? Its great because you have so much flexibility re camping and where you pull up, no time schedules! Enjoy Europe! Xxx
