Another overnight stop. As France switches to paid camper stops this is probably typical of what we will see next time we cross France; complicated ticket machine, overpriced and empty.

Cambrils, Camping Platja Cambrils

About as bad as a campsite can get with low trees, tiny and dark pitches, narrow roads and difficult access to everything including electricity. But we needed a place for the night after a visit toRead more

Just here for 2 nights to hook up with our maintenance guy, Henk for hatch repairs. He’s worth the hassle of driving and staying here whilst we still keep our pitch back in Benidorm.

TravelerMmmm love Bratwurst 😋😋😋 How's the head after Oktoberfest? 🍺
TravelerThere is o much to love about German food, fridge and freezer full. Just left enough room to pick up some french butter! Hummm...Oktoberfest...just wasn’t our thing. It was really just a big fair ground with added beer halls that were enormous, overcrowded, frantic and loud. We found a tiny corner outside one beer hall, had a beer and a chat with a french family and 2 South Korean guys and then left. Too busy/crowded, but we had to give it a go. Headed into Munich for the rest of the day, much more relaxed having a beer and schnitzel at the Hofbrauhaus! 🍺🍺🍺
TravelerThat's the impression we got of Oktoberfest from the small bit we saw of it. That's not our thing either! Sounds like you rescued the day in a much nicer fashion though 👍😁
