Hard Cheese
Week 4th to 9th April 2017 What joy to wake up to stunning sea views, waves lapping at your tyres (D forgot the handbrake again!) and to be able to breakfast outside in the sun taking it all in. We really are absolutely making the most of every opportunity now with the ferry booked for our return in June when the views will be completely different in S.E London. But for now … [Read more...] about Hard Cheese
Motorhome Joy that is Croatia, Oh and how fragile is a drone?

This is very easy to do and when … [Read more...] about First visit to a brothel
It’s The Little Things
Feb 20-26th We had decided to extend our stay in Sicily by a day for the simple reason that the Tuesday was to be a brighter, sunnier day and the view from Castlemola the hilltop town even higher then Taormina was said to have spectacular views of Mt Etna. So we spent the rather dull Monday food shopping but also venturing slightly further along the coast on … [Read more...] about It’s The Little Things
From Grim to Trim, Sardinia to Sicily
Having arrived in Sardinia on a very chaotic Grim Boat we left on a well-organised Trim one, we have to recommend Tirrenia Lines. However, enough about leaving, what does Sardinia hold for the winter motorhome adventurer? Though most things are closed and getting facilities can be an issue, you can overcome this with relative ease. Now we are on a new leg of our adventure and … [Read more...] about From Grim to Trim, Sardinia to Sicily
