December 1, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌨 0 °C
6 months ago we decided to go to Spain for a couple of weeks during winter. In the last 6 months John has finished full time work and started freelancing and Benji has shut shop for the winter and we’re heading off to Europe for 3 months to explore. Quite a change from the original plan.Read more
Go for it! [Dorothy]

First night in the EU! We’ve parked up for the night, warmed up the van and had our dinner. Feels good to finally be on the trip we’ve been planning for 6 months!

Day 4
Troyes
December 3, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
Spent most of the day in Troyes, Champagne today, it's got a beautiful town centre with some really amazing churches and cathedrals. They have Xmas decorations everywhere and even music playing through the whole town! Couldn't have asked for a nicer day, except that no one here seems to know what vegetarian or vegan means! Everything has bloody ham in it! Haha
We've got a lovely little pitch tonight, electric hookup and a level site so we're warm and happy right now! 😊Read more
Looks great.Take care and Enjoy.xx [Pat.]

Day 7
Baraluc des Bain
December 6, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
After a bit of messing around trying to find a parking spot we've ended up in the small town of Baraluc des Bain. Nice little place though it felt like we weren't there at the right time of year!
Had a nice walk along the promenade, bought some bread and now we're off to the next spot!Read more

Day 10
Marseille
December 9, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Spent some time in marseille today, what a beautiful city!
Definitely got our cardio in today with all those bloody hills but was worth it for the views and the food!
Was a fleeting trip at best cos it was impossible to find anywhere to park the van for the night so we're heading off along the coast in the direction of Spain.
We've decided to head south in general to enjoy some of the temperatures that have been taunting us on the weather apps!Read more

Day 11
Nearly in Spain! 🇪🇸
December 10, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
We've stopped for the night not far from the Spanish border in a beautiful area, sadly it was getting too dark to take many photos but I'm sure they'll be time in the morning.
Once we've packed up in the morning we'll head down further across the pyrenees which promises to be quite spectacular and it's warmer day by day, lows of 11° tonight! Wohoo!Read more
Traveler Beautiful sunset....or was it sunrise!!! Hope it's all going well. Just taken Christa, Pat and Alison to the Carol Service.....and drove home past all the lights in town. Love x x
