  • Off the beaten track

    The Czech brandy let me somewhat tired the next morning so we broke out the emergency bacon for a sandwich to pep ourselves up before the 4×4 training. We had one rasher that wouldn’t fit in the pan There was a lot of it and the descriptions would tend towards repetitive descriptions of holes and…

  • To Mi Mobile’s training site

    We were Germanied again yesterday. We left our lovely campsite in the vines to drive to Metzingen Outlet Town, where Rog wanted to buy some summer walking boots at a bargain price.  But when we got there, the shops were all closed and the town had a post apocalyptic emptiness to it. Of course, May…

  • The Lorentz transformation

    The overnight park at La Ferme des Sanglochons was not great. We were about a meter from the road and as we expected it was fairly busy. Lorries swept past most of the night waking us with their engines then rocking us back to sleep as their wake set jones swaying. We had a quick…

  • Homeward 1: Germany

    Today was an olde worlde travel daye like they had in the past. We did dome shopping (more new boots!) and some eating but apart from that not much. Except driving. First though was a walk for Flynn around the tree museum we’d parked in Lunch was at Nord See – I think the best…

  • To near Munich

    Today was a driving day. We were packed and off by 8am heading 400km south ish to MiMobile an Xtura dealer with a famous (amongst us Xtura owners and wait listers) as “The Porn Mag”. We’ve developed a strange ritual whenever we see a new Xtura: how much battery has it got (we all want…

  • Caravan Salon

    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…

  • To Düsseldorf

    Reader discretion advised. Only one rabbit was harmed in the making of this posting. We woke fairly late today, we all seem to sleep better in Jones. Turns out the time cutting up Tempur-Pedic mattresses was not wasted.  Even Flynn seems to be able to lie in now. He also has a memory foam bed…
