London

Setting off from London on a gorgeous sunny day. Can't believe we'll be in the van for 3 months! Eurotunnel let us on an hour early and we're in Calais in no time.
Coquelles, Nord-Pas-de-Calais

First night in the van, in the car park of Cité Europe! Stocked up on wine at Majestic earlier... Slept like a top, which may have been related to the wine rather than the comfort of our car park!
Burtoncourt, Lorraine

Our first proper campsite in beautiful French countryside. Cooked ratatouille which was really rather good. Showers tepid.
Metz, Lorraine

Cycled in to Metz, saw the cathedral and the regional branch of the Georges Pompidou Centre, which included some amazing sculptures, Anish Kapoor's was the highlight. Bought lunch at the coveredもっと詳しく
Schiltach, Baden-Wurttemberg

Absolutely stunning village in the eastern Black Forest. The inner city is full of medieval half-timbered houses and there were a couple of excellent museums too. An unexpected highlight was theもっと詳しく
Nuremberg, Bavaria

Great day out! Fantastic lunch of beer and Nurembergwurst in a bun, quick tour of the city centre then made Lee run back to the van as I thought our parking ticket was about to expire only to find weもっと詳しく
Plzen, Plzeň Region

Visited the Pilsner Urquell brewery, which was fascinating. Amazed that they only stopped using an ice house to cool the cellars in the 1980s! Unfiltered, unpasteurised beer was a revelation, reallyもっと詳しく
Cesky Krumlov, South Bohemian Region

Beautiful castle perched on top of a cliff overlooking the spectacular old town. All the campsites are shut (too early in the season) so ended up staying in the car park of a tennis centre.
Bad Ischl, Upper Austria

Cycled here on a beautiful day, almost all on dedicated cycle lanes. Insanely picturesque. Treated ourselves to tea and cake at the famous Cafe Zauner, which has a terrific new terrace beside theもっと詳しく

Beautiful lake with a tiny church on an island
Ljubljana

Disastrous start to the day, one mug lost a handle and another has acquired a huge crack and drains tea straight out. Looks like we'll be shopping for new ones today

Ex-Army barracks that have been taken over as a commune, filled with student bars.
Ljubljana

Our lovely new mugs!

Lovely sunset!
Pula

Roman amphitheatre! TomTom kept trying to take us down the staircase just visible in the photo - decided the van probably couldn't handle it.
Fazana

Happy Easter...
Camping Marina

Pizza, gelato and an amazing spot by the shore. Perfect day. Except for another 2 broken mugs in the last 2 days :(

On the ferry to Rab island
Lopar, Rab Island

Another drizzly day, stopped for a cup of tea at the jetty. Heading back to the mainland today after a wander around Rab Town.

Have been telling Lee all day that it'll clear up soon but only getting worse! Bucketing with rain now but warm and dry in the van :)

Really stunning emerald green lakes with beautiful waterfalls in between.
Sibenik

Finally some sunshine!

The world's largest collection of stuffed frogs in human poses. Best £2 I ever spent.
