On Saturday we went to South Hampton marina to see Ben’s brother Dominic and his partner, Lisa. They have a sailing boat in the marina. We parked the motorhome inside and we could pass the night there. After Dominic came to see the motorhome, which he liked a lot, we went to see his boat, which is pretty cool, with […]
I will summarise our time in Brighton. Jade, Ben’s niece, came to see our motorhome with her two dogs, two podencos rescued from Spain called Tara and Zorro. And then she took us to walk around the fields called The Downs, a really lovely place with beautiful views. We walked a lot and passed near the horse racecourse and farms. […]
Yesterday Monday we crossed to England through the Eurotunnel. If you never have done it is pretty full-on. First, if you have a pet you have to go to the pet reception where they check the pet’s passport and chip. Then you go to a place which looks like a toll on a highway where you take a boarding pass, […]
Yesterday Saturday, we saw the Boulogne Chateau, a castle and now the Boulogne museum. The castle was built in the 13th century by the Count of Boulogne and the son of Philip II of France. The castle is built in the eastern corner of the medieval walls surrounding the Haute Ville (literally, high town – the part of Boulogne on […]
We went walking to Boulogne which has one of the biggest ports in France. We did not take Asha because she hurt her paw playing that morning so we left her in the motorhome. There are two ways to go to Boulogne, next to the road or next to the cliff and the sea. We took this last one, it […]
Last Tuesday we arrived at Wimereux town, at the camping L’Olympic. The town is on the beach and is beautiful! The camping is the municipal camping and the facilities are ok, with good water and pressure in the showers. But again no toilet paper or seats in the toilets. And a really bizarre thing, to shower they gave you a […]
Last Saturday we had to leave Saumur because the camping was all booked due to a marathon on Sunday. So we went a little further down in the Loire Valley to camping called “au bord de loire” located in Gennes and in front of another town called Les Rosiers sur Loire. The facilities of the camping were so so, the […]
After 5 hours of driving, we arrived in Saumur, a city in the Loire valley. Our camping was on an island crossing the bridge from the city centre. Camping Offard, really good price, 17 euros, with very good facilities, plots very big and toilet paper and toilet seats, but the best is the swimming pool and bar/restaurant with views of […]
On our last day in the Dordogne area we went on a boat trip from La Roque-Gageac, classified by the French as their third favourite village, to the bridge at Castelnaud overlooked by the 12th-century castle. We went on the motorbike to the village and took the boat at 1.30 pm. This part of the river offers a unique insight […]
On Sunday we went to see the top of the town La Roque-Gageac as people told us it is beautiful and less tourist than the bottom part where the river is. So we went walking with Asha. To arrive at the top you go for a very steep road up to the mountain and to the top of the town. […]
