Thank you all for your kind wishes concerning Karens's arm, that after a four hour stretch in the hospital on Tuesday we found had been fractured. She now is in a cast for 5-6 weeks, so David will have to up his game. But Calella de Palaurugell has cheered her up no end, we have had a small series of minor disasters lately, more of them later but in the meantime a big thank … [Read more...] about On the beach to recovery
Motorhome Life
Daffy Duck (con arroz)
Mon 05/09/16: After our first night sleeping with the doors open (on camp site…such was the heat) we headed early back into Llieda and to the Peugeot garage where we were to get our wing mirror fixed thankfully. Arriving at the allotted time of 11 Allia informed us that the part hadn’t arrived … [Read more...] about Daffy Duck (con arroz)
Motorhome life can be dangerous you know.
After meeting friends and exploring Barcelona for a few days, we moved on the north of the city to another ASCI campsite. This is much better than the one near the airport we stayed at. But danger lurks even in the loveliest places. As David was parking the van under Karens's expert guidance. Suddenly a shriek and she disappeared from view in what is left of our mirror. … [Read more...] about Motorhome life can be dangerous you know.
Barcelona and Wing Mirror update!
We have zigzagged our way down to Barcelona having visited the Peugeot dealer in Lleida three times to get the wing mirror replaced. All to no avail as Right hand drive connections are different and our wing mirror must be sourced in the UK or Ireland. Cost to be delivered by Peugeot UK to here €620 plus fitting! Anyway we are trying to he one sent to a friend who is coming to … [Read more...] about Barcelona and Wing Mirror update!
Tales of the Unexpected
Tales of the Unexpected happened twice this week. One pleasant, when we happened upon the town of Jaca and a particular restaurant as per the pictures. We had just come from a series of Spanish pretty towns in the Pyrenees so really wasn't expecting much from Jaca, a gateway town as they call it. Wrong it was lovely, a string of lovely restaurants beyond the one we ate in, … [Read more...] about Tales of the Unexpected
Smack, ouch that hurt. The mirror is shattered.
Driving down the narrow roads of the Pyrenees sometimes you get very close to the drivers on the other side of the road. Today too close after a gentle wave at an oncoming Motorhome 'Smack' we come into contact. Two wing mirrors all over the place. Our lovely protectors were not able to take the strain and we now are off hunting a replacement. Peugeot's website not … [Read more...] about Smack, ouch that hurt. The mirror is shattered.
Not a Bull in Sight
Mon 22/08/16: After a quiet Sunday night high up in the hills of Bilbao we made our way to another Unesco World heritage site- the Vizcaya Bridge at Portugalete, a transporter bridge and one of the few still operational since it’s construction in 1893. A David thing I hear you say. No actually not, since some time ago whilst chatting to my fellow wine … [Read more...] about Not a Bull in Sight
10,000 miles and 100 stops and still rolling.
We have been lucky over the past month to have some of our friends visit while we moved across the north of Spain from Galicia in the northwest to Basque country in the northeast. Now back on our own for while we are heading across Spain along the Pyrenees to Barcelona. NiKi our most lovely home has performed amazingly. In up to 42 degrees, covering some very rough … [Read more...] about 10,000 miles and 100 stops and still rolling.
