It was starting to get cooler as we headed into the Northern part of Spain so we picked up the pace heading for the Alps where cool temperatures were welcome! Another windy road through the hills (thankfully we hardly saw another car) revealed some lovely scenery as we crossed back over to Spain with a […]

We headed for Los Picos de Europa national park towards the north of Spain.  This mountain range looked great on the photos and sure enough, the hair-raising trip up the windy mountain roads delivered some fantastic views.. although my gaze was fixed on the road ahead, knuckles white gripping the steering wheel.   We made […]

We say goodbye to Portugal with plenty of great memories to look back on. Didn’t really know much about Portugal and so had little expectations but we discovered a lovely country with a great mix of history, nature, culture and super-friendly people (can’t count the number of times James and Abbie had their hair ruffled, […]

Ola, Ola – latest post from Portugal.  Currently sitting here, the only vehicle on a clifftop carpark somewhere north of Lisbon.  Sunset was great, seafood dinner was even better (one of very few meals out and our first at a decent restaurant) So, since the last instalment, we’ve slowly made our way up the cost […]

The latest update starts us off in El Torcal national park.  James wanted to stay something really remote where he could wake up on his birthday.  So we headed to this national park along some windy roads through rural Spain passing some immaculate ‘Pueblo Blanco’s on the way. The park is famous for its incredible […]

Soon became clear that Spain was very different to Germany & France when it came to places to stay.  Aires were few and far between and lots of other people we spoke to were cautioning that Spain wasn’t a safe country unless you were in campsites.  Thankfully, unlike France and Germany, there seemed to be […]

Of all the cities in Europe, this was the one I was most looking forward to.  Everyone raves about Barcelona so I couldn’t wait to check it out.  As it happens it was a bit of an anti-climax for us – compared to Paris it didn’t have the same beauty, attractions and ease to get […]

Thought I would put together a post on Frosty – our means of transport and our home for the year. Simply put, we love him!  We committed to him ages ago without really knowing what we were getting into.  There simply aren’t any comparable motorhomes in Australia and it was really hard to know exactly […]

I’ve got a terrible problem with gas.  It started when we got to France and has gotten steadily worse and now, halfway down Spain, it’s out of control.  It’s 4:30am and it’s kept me awake since 3am – It’s a real problem and we’re all suffering, no more than Chelle who’s sick of me incessantly talking about it. […]

Howdy all! Since my last post we’ve had a lovely 5 days skiing in a place called Saint Lary-Soulan in the French Pyrenees. It was a great spot and less than a 1/3rd of the price of the Aussie Alps and as you’d expect much better snow (2m up high 1.5m at the bottom) Before […]
