One month in Greece – Our top tips

  Within moments of arriving in Greece we had already fallen in love. Bustling with the excitement of being in a new country and meeting up again with our friends and fellow motorhomers Karen and Myles, we almost couldn’t contain ourselves. Our initial feelings have been further cemented the longer we stay in this beautiful…

Greece now the top of our destination list

Three weeks into our tour of Greece with our travelling companions “The Motoroamers” (http://motoroaming.com) and we are utterly in love with the place. Why do we feel  this way about a country that we are yet to fully explore,  maybe it’s the simple beauty of the place, an abundance of beach side spots along breath-taking…

Roaming in Rome & our quick flit through Italy

I don’t know why but neither of us were particularly excited about Italy, maybe due to the mixed reviews we’d heard or read from fellow travellers that had often told of a roller coaster experience of one minute loving the place and the next minute disliking it, or maybe we were viewing it as a…

A round up of our time in Spain

If your vision of Spain is the “Britishness of Benidorm” then think again as there is so much more to this vast country. People often have an image of the Spanish holidays of the past with Sombreros and donkeys sold by the dozen at kiss me quick resorts on the Costas.  After spending the last…

Travel is as much about people as places

When we think of travelling we often focus on the places we visit, the sights we see or the views we take in, however we have found that travel is often much more than that.   As I sit and reflect on the last few weeks it’s been far less about the places we’ve visited and…

Treasured Times at Playa De Carolina Spain

The last couple of weeks we have broken new boundaries by staying in the same place for a whole 15 days!! The spot worthy of this extended stay is just up the coast from Aguilas at Playa De Carolina (GPS 37.385948 -1.628475), a wild camping spot with a bay on each side where we were…

Treading old ground in Garrucha & Mojacar

9th – 12th February 2017 With heavy snow on the way we needed to make our way back down the mountain to avoid being caught up there without snow chains. As we are now covering some old ground in Spain we decided to make a cross country journey along the A92 for a change of…

Skiing in The Spanish Sierra Nevada Mountains

Although we awoke to a forecast of 20 degrees the following day we had planned to trek up to the Sierra Nevada ski region above Granada as the conditions and forecast for the next few days up there were also perfect. We had not skied for 4 years and in the interim Paul had had…

A Surprise Rendezvous

2nd – 6th February 2016 Whilst up in the mountains I’d received a text from a close friend of my sisters Angie asking if we were anywhere near Nerja as she was there visiting her brother, so as the weather was taking a turn for the worst in the hills we decided to head down…
