Finally Florence
21. september 2024, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Installed on a very acceptable campsite in time to catch the bus to explore Florence in the afternoon. The Duomo and all around, the Palazzo Vecchio with all its history and the Ponte Vecchio.
Moving north, Albinea

Goodbye to Florence, a couple of hours driving in fairly heavy traffic, some shopping and we are just south of Reggio Emilia. This is because is has the best weather forecast for possible stops on theLæs mere
A sunny walk
26. september 2024, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

Back in Germany

Chilly Calais
30. september 2024, Frankrig ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
Warmly installed on a site, 40mph winds outside after a day spent driving through fog then rain. Gin, risotto and wine to come inside our cosy van.
The last of the gin...

A pre-lunch drink empties the bottle.
Home to Hereford
1. oktober 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Back home after three days of driving in the rain and, finally, some very annoying diversions round the bumpy lanes of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. It was worth it- we had a wonderful month.
