    The last supper

    October 30, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Well today was a day for reflecting on our trip - ie it was pouring rain!
    We chilled, read and planned tomorrow’s getaway before heading up to the campsite restaurant for a our last supper!
    We both decided it had to be Moules! Steves were marnière and mine were à la crème. Both delicious but not a patch on the ones we had at the Mussel Farm! Rounded off with a Chivas and a Baileys, this trip has been extra special in so many ways. And hey, a bonus that there hasn’t been a murder! Ha ha I think the fact that we’ve been married for 37 years has something to do with this!
    Anyway Eurotunnel tomorrow and onwards to see friends in York.

  • Welcome Home

    October 31, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Belgium, France, Italy, France, Spain, France - no bother and then the UK. And then this 10 minutes from the tunnel.
    90 minutes to do 7 miles. 5 miles to go. I wish I’d stayed in France 😤😡 And not a workman in sightRead more

  • York

    November 1, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Couple of nights in York at Rowntree Park Caravan site. Lovely team who’d reserved us a nice big pitch. Very quiet and lovely facilities. Perfect location for visiting the centre of York.
    We visited some friends who live here and as Patsy is ‘The Rhino Lady’ we thought it only right that Ronnie had his photo taken with her and her husband Jim today.
    Weather was a bit grim so after a quick look in Cycle Heaven we headed back to Leo for an evening of Rummikub and Yahtzee.
    Onwards to Durham tomorrow for our last night of the trip.

  • Last night……

    November 2, 2022 in England ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

    Sad that it’s come to an end but we’ve just had the best adventure!
    Spent our last night with fellow motorhomes Gillian & Stu who kindly picked us up and dropped us off from Durham Grange Caravan Park. Drinks at their house and on for a lovely meal with a red wine shower included! Pretty unique! Ha ha Love you guys and hope to catch up again soon xxRead more

  • And thats a wrap!

    November 3, 2022 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

    So it’s the end of the road for now! Thank you to everyone who has followed us on this trip and for your comments and likes. It has also been a journey of discovery for us being our first big trip and we are so glad we decided to use the FindPenguins App to record it. 54 days on the road and we loved every minute of it! 5184 miles! Met some great people who have now become forever friends who we will definitely keep in touch with. Lovely to be home though of course. Ronnie is ready to start saving his pennies again! Steve finally got his Birthday present - an El Camino wrist strap with a loop with each country we visited on this trip.
    Now it’s on to planning the next one……….

  • We tried……

    June 6, 2023 in Croatia ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

    So after battling through raging thunder storms with rain drops the size of golf balls and the East coast of Croatia seemingly no more than looking very run down with little in the way of promenades, restaurants or even a bar to while away the hours…….oh and the odd hundred games of Rummikub, we’ve decided to speed up our journey North. Lack of any cycle routes/paths and a very scary looking coastal road meant we couldn’t even get soaked on our bikes (again!)
    Onwards to Krk to take stock of the weather forecast for next 10 days before making a decision on what comes next.
