Perhaps the country I have been most excited about visiting.  Mountains, scenery, nice people and chocolate.  James also has shared my excitement and it’s long been listed as his favourite country. Our entry was a little hectic as all of a sudden we arrived in Liechtenstein meaning we exited the Schengen area and had to […]

After the Czech Republic, we headed west for some unfinished business in Austria now that the snow had cleared enough that most of the roads were open. Berchtesgarden was the first stop (actually a German district but surrounded by Austria on 3 sides) and we stayed in a campsite with a lovely view of the […]

We went to the Großglockner ,in Austria. This is a place where there are marmots. A marmot is a squirrel like animal in the rodent family. It was a rainy day with lightning and thunder and that is the time when there is lots of marmots because they think that nobody wants to come up because […]

In Austria we went to Werfen. In Werfen we walked up to the cable car and got the cable car. Then we walked another 20 minutes to the top.At the top there was an ice cave. The walk up to the top was scary because there was a massive cliff beside us. The drop down […]

We chanced upon this charming little village in the province of Bergamo, merely by having followed a brown sign. As we were finding it very difficult to find a free camping spot in the area, Dave approached a young lad, who spoke very good English. His name is Stefano and he was only too happy […]

The stellplatz at Dresden was out the back of a motorhome dealer which was very handy as it meant we could stock up with bits and bobs for Frosty.  Useful as all sorts of bits were going wrong and needed fixing (still are).We had a long drive to Prague where we’d arranged to meet the […]

Yesterday we were in Geneva, Switzerland. In Geneva we went to the Large Hadron collider which is the biggest science project in the world. It is a 27 km underground tunnel – a bit like a giant, metal donut. They fire tiny Atoms around it and watch and study the little pieces that break off […]

Following on from Chelle’s blog here http://eurotrip2014.com.au/the-european-shower-experience/, here’s a report on a standout from me… An old rundown campsite in regional Poland.  The ‘amenities block’ was like what you’d expect 60 years ago in Eastern Europe, which was clearly what it was.  Instead of updating or cleaning, the strategy appeared to be just to pile […]

We arrived here at around 5.45pm, when closing time was 6pm. Fortunately you could stay the night in the car park, meaning that we could have a look early the next day. We camped up, made dinner and the Dave and I took in turns to have a wander around the outskirts of the camp. […]

The first thing we saw was the main gate which is the entrance to the camp. It had some words on it in German which were “Arbeit Macht Frei” which meant work will give you freedom.  But if they work so hard they would not be free so it is not true. I saw these […]
