Friday/Saturday25th/26th Stopped in Hull for tea - on last minute as always - last check in 7.30 we made 7.35 and ended up being security searched - apparently as long as you have no animals or deadly weapons you are OK so the 15 illegal immigrants in storage boxes and the 4kg grade 1 uncut crack cocaine were fine !!!! Absolutely gutted - cheesy cabaret on boat replaced by football on big screen No probs getting free of the port but good job we had sat nav to warn us of a 77 min delay. Arrived without a speeding ticket for once and have a good pitch at the side of the Rhine - We are the only English in the village - think we may be watching the football in our tent tomorrow!. Chilled out ... read more

Thursday 26th June Have got more British people on the campsite now we are getting nearer home . Spoke to a couple over the road in a campervan who came from Pickering - the husband was Ron AKA Captain Birds Eye due to beard - they were interested in our BBQ as they want to purchase one .

Decided to cycle to Knokke Heist which was 15 miles away - the stamina ... read more

Weds 17th June Got up at 10am weather a lot cooler today so what was going to be a lazy day at the pool is going to be a bike ride into Salo .

The hill back up wasn’t as bad as expected Blackpool ... read more

Thursday 11th June Got up and got bikes ready to go to Supermarket - Steve had a flat tyre - new inner tube had a faulty valve so we had to walk the bikes in to town - the supermarket on camp was closed for some reason - a reason which became apparent when going to all the other supermarkets in town - who were also shut ! Someone is conspiring against us saving any money. We then saw a gathering of people singing hymns and it turns out today is a national holiday in Croatia for Corpus Christi - for those non catholics amongst us that is a mass and a ceremonial procession. where the attendants carry the body of Christ. The procession has four stations at which they announce the gospels at four ends ... read more
