Week 30 – Monday 28th – Monday 4th April It didn’t take long after arriving in Sospel to realise that this was a lovely location. We had parked in a free aire next to a sports ground just behind the sports hall in between a few neighbouring motorhomes. Our first day in Sospel was spent … More Settling in, in Sospel (Ellie’s Week 30)
Monday 21st – Monday 28th March On Monday we left our moorings and headed to the Camargue to an Ornithological park passing many paddocks of the famous white Camargue horses on the way. The Ornithological park was understated but absolutely brilliant and our latent twitching tendencies soon resurfaced. I must have taken about a million … More A Week In Provence (Ellie’s Week 29)
Monday 14th – Monday 21st March The next week passed in a bit of a blur. Suffice to say that I was on a bit of a virtual ‘come down’ after having such an amazing time in Barcelona. Not being that good at any form of prolonged drinking or late nights, after a few days … More Rain and Recovery (Ellie’s Week 28)
Monday 7th – Monday 14th March From the heady heights of Albarracin we descended down into the delta of Deltebre, with land only just skimming the sea and rice paddies as far as the eye could see. I had never seen rice paddies before, well maybe once or twice in Cambodia or Thailand, but here … More The Big 40! (Ellie’s Week 27)
Monday 29th Feb – Monday 7th March Monday 29th February marked our day of departure after our mini sabbatical in Loulé. After a morning of packing, cleaning and sprucing up Heidi (which took rather longer than anticipated); saying our farewells to Jackie, Art, Nick and Chez (our kind hosts for the winter)… And a final hairy … More On The Road Again! (Ellie’s Week 26)
Monday 14th – Monday 21st Dec On Monday we set off from the campsite careful to avoid rush hour knowing that in order to head south we first had to cross the enormous ’25 de Abril’ Bridge that straddled Lisbon navigating a tricky series of roundabouts/junctions on the way. Matt, who is never a fan … More Landing in Loulé (Ellie’s Week 16)
…Just a little post about our rather noticeable 4 month hiatus from blogging and huge apologies to all our friends and family who have been patiently awaiting our next exciting instalment. Nope we have not been eaten by bears, nor waylaid by marauding seagulls, nor disappeared into the wilds of the Sierra Nevada. What started as … More Back To Blogging
Mon 7th Dec – Mon 14th Dec Our road to Lisbon began with a brief stop over in the pretty, but pretty quiet town of Vila Nova Da Barquinha about 90 kilometres South West of Vila Velha De Rodao. We didn’t see that much of it except for a quick stroll in the morning to … More The Road To Lisbon (Ellie’s Week 15)
Mon 30th Nov – Mon 7th Dec It’s funny, after having really enjoyed free camping in a multitude of aires, it felt really weird (and a lot less fun) being on a campsite again. But needs must, and as we had yet to find a solution to our inverter problem we were in desperate need of electric … More Driving The Douro (Ellie’s Week 14)
Mon 23rd Nov – Mon 30th Nov The first few days of week 13 comprised of a whistle stop tour of a few coastal towns as we went from Gijon (big industrial harbour) to Foz (pretty little harbour) to Boiro and then to Arcade after spending a fun filled day walking (and running) around Santiago De Compostella. … More From Port to Port (Ellie’s Week 13)
