It was time to move on from Camping Babou. It’s an excellent site at the edge of a lovely village and has a very friendly Dutch owner. Total cost was €25 for the two nights, laundry and a loaf of his homemade sourdough – not bad! Our first stop was Bârsana Monastery, which despite its…

We started the day with a walk up the river valley and into the thick forests. It was lovely and cool and Flynn enjoyed some river bathing with a side of stick chewing. Back at Jones, we broke camp and headed back to the Merry Cemetery. Yesterday’s visit had been a bit fraught and separated,…

We awoke to a slightly grey and muggy day and made the very sensible decision to give Flynn a walk in the cool woods. There was a footpath sign to somewhere whose name I’ve forgotten – either I’m getting dementia or it was in Hungarian. Let’s say it was Recem-völgyi Kút, for example. As we…

I don’t think Rog mentioned, but we spent the night at the campsite at Esztergom on the Danube, west of Budapest. As Jones is now so well equipped in the bathroom department, we can’t review the facilities, but the site itself is leafy and the young man at reception is both easy on the eye…

Today was mostly spent doing things of little interest to anyone who doesn’t have a motorhome. Like cleaning the solar panels after yesterday’s massive storm… The Düsseldorf show is like the NEC show on steroids, and we could easily have spent a couple of days here. But we want to get on with our holiday…

In a change to our usual programme, we decided to try the ferry. It was a longer drive to Dover (40 minutes rather than 20 to Folkestone) but also a fair few smackers cheaper, so we thought that it was worth a try. One downside was that we had to arrive 2 hours before our…

We woke to a lovely morning in Driffield and decided on a dog walk to start the day. There I saw a candidate for the most unusual thing I will see all day – a goat on a trampoline. Beats a ferret on a pogo stick any day. Sadly the 5G modem that was installed…
