Moar driving. We’re now in calais via some towns and a Grand Frais where they had these lads: Pigs in Costumes. Sadly they’re all dressed as Pilsbury dough man, not a pirate king or fairy princess amongst them. Flynn finally got a good/ok walk in calais. there’s a path along the disused dock. He loves…

Two big driving days yesterday and today. We’re in Miranda di Ebro tonight and last night we stayed in a camp site just outside Riolobos. That’s about 600 miles just short of 1000km. We’re parked in Miranda di Ebro on a bit of spare land near the football stadium – not our first choice but…

After yesterday’s brush with annoying guides, Jane warned me that today might be worse. We’re now in a part of Morocco that has Sights To See and day trips from Marrakesh. But first an early walk across the rock fields for Flynn. We went a bit further than we intended so it was late before…

Camping Palmier wasn’t our kind of place but it did have good facilities. For one, the water pressure was good so we filled Jones to the brim in less than an all day. The French who stay at these places are pathological about not moving the van once they’re in so, as we refilled, all…
