Back home now
We had a brilliant trip thanks, loved every minute of it, even the disasters! Came back to fantastic weather in Wiltshire so van all clean and washing done! Plan to go again in September to Northern Europe once the grandchildren are back at school. Hope your trip went ok, read your blog, like your information about castles and houses, our blog is less informative but have a look if wish. Search bloggers under "graham vaughan". Our trip was very similar to yours. We also went to Krk and loved it. Before I retired fully last year I did some work for the jobcentre, maybe that's what finally persuaded me to stop?!!

Sorry to hear that you missed Sirmione...
Plan A would have been perfect. In our many trips to Italy, strikes were the number one cause of wrecked plans. The worst was when all gas stations were one strike for most of a week.

You could have sung "The hills are alive with the sound of music"...
as Salzburg is in the same country as Reutte. Enjoying your blogs!

Hi Just a joke of mine - I hated the sound of music. Visited Salzburg some years ago and got fed up of hearing the hills are alive ...............thanks for the comments

You don't know us but........
Hi, we read your blog as we sit in a site on lake D'Iseo northern Italy. It is between Lake Garda and Como. What caught my eye on your blog was the reference to Denbigh. My son and his family live there although we hail from Wiltshire. We left UK mid April and have travelled through France to the Camargue onto the Cote D'Azure and we are now travelling East to Slovenia, Croatia then north to Austria, Germany, Belgium and home. It has rained all day today but the cloud has started to lift and the mountains are just showing some of their peaks. Its beautiful if wet! We hope your trip goes well and that you have good weather when you reach this area. We have six weeks and are now nearly half way. It's the first time we have done this, we have a caravan and aren't sure of the pros and cons of motorhome vs caravan. Our blog is under Graham Vaughan, we'll follow yours with interest.

Hi Your trip sounds lovely, sorry I have been so long responding , we have struggled to get on the internet. We are almost at the end of our trip . Lake Garda was pretty but busy , we moved to mantove which was lovley, Ferrara before moving to Acquilea. After htat we got through Slovenia and spent a few days in Krk, Pula and Rovinj. We are now in Alsace working our wayhome. Glenn is from Chesterfield originally and I am from wrexham . We live in Ruthin . I work for the jobcentre and have just taken partial retirement working three days a week. We have never had a motorhome before and this is our first trip. What a big learning curve but an interesting one. How di d your trip go.

Love your itinerary for the continent...
Rothenburg is one of our favorite towns. Our most favorite, however, is Sirmione...on the peninsula that juts up from the southern shore of Lake Garda near Peschiera del Garda. Hope the weather improves!

Sirmione
Glenn has been before and agrees that it is a lovely place. He also like Malcesine further north. We hope to use the train from Peschiera del Garda to get out to Verona and to wherever else the train runs to. Italy is lovely any time.

Thanks for the memories...
Warwick Castle was one of our favorite destinations. The kids liked the peacocks; especially when I would make their sound and the feather tails would come right up! Linda didn't approve. I can also be embarrassing at zoos.

The best laid plans of mice and men...
is from John Steinbeck. I've used the title myself for several blogs; mostly for missed travel connections in Shanghai and Rome. That is a sad story about the dog. You should post a picture of the grave.

The planning is half the fun of a trip...
I visualize every step of the way. Of course, I have to be open to Plan B when something goes wrong; like it's raining on a day I planned to be outdoors. I'm sure you will post a picture of your new baby once you pick it up. I can't believe it gets 28 mpg!

I love the itinerary you have selected for your first motor home trip...
We lived in Belgium for eleven years so are hoping to recognize your stop over there. We visited Rothendurg many times during the seven years we lived in Germany, and of course while living in Europe visited Austria and Italy. On Lake Garda, make sure you visit Sirmione on the southern shore. We never made it to Slovenia or Croatia, but that is high on our list to visit. So take good pictures and write detailed stories about your trip so that we can be inspired!
