Monday morning saw us up and out heading to another one of Gaudi's more prolific works -Park Guell. This time we had booked our slot to avoid failure and disappointment as happened on Saturday. It did not disappoint, but yet again lead me, more than David wondering just how much 'stuff' could that man have produced in his time on this planet. Or did he have a band of merry … [Read more...] about Costa Fortune?
When The Boat Comes In
And thankfully it did in Barcelona with marginally less chaos than we boarded with in Genoa. That was a complete revelation and we have done a few ferry journeys over the years. Accident/traffic jam on the route in -no surprise there, and then complete lack of signage anywhere at the port other than the boat/car symbol which we duly followed. Piece of paper and … [Read more...] about When The Boat Comes In
Hey Big Nose
Pinocchio that is and that is where we found ourselves bizarrely for our Friday night stay before heading for the delights of Lucca at Pinocchio Park. We were to stay at a thermal resort town and we both were hoping for a spa treat, but upon arrival at the town aire we both decided we didn’t like the parking spot.

Well That Was a Gas
So here we are -back on the road again, with Buster now being truly ours. Brought after our last Covid adventure from Elddis. We have during the time we have owned Buster made some adjustments, which we hope will be investments as well, more of that later. Obviously, with Brexit I cannot do the year long journeys like we did before, but thanks to kindness of the French … [Read more...] about Well That Was a Gas

After three months we were … [Read more...] about The Longest Test Drive finally finished!

Repeat, Repeat.
And that is what we are doing at the moment during our first week in Los Alcazares, Murcia. We have been here many times, including in pre-motorhome life as David’s Aunt and Uncle have a place here and with the old Murcia airport literally no more than five minutes away we have been able to take advantage of their generosity and hospitality a good few times. On our … [Read more...] about Repeat, Repeat.
