Since hearing about the the nightly Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate at Ypres in Belgium I have always wanted to experience it

On The Tunnel And We’re Off!
When we were planning this years trip we fancied trying the Tunnel but Alan was a bit concerned that our old 7.5 tonne lorry based motorhome would be too big. After much himming and haaing, and some advice from the oracles on various Facebook pages, we decided to take a chance and just book it. […]
Family Reunion At Mikki’s Place in Pera
We left our hillside retreat to drive down towards the Algarve coast to a site we had heard much about, Mikki’s Place (37.128399, -8.322735). Alan’s cousin had booked into Mikki’s Place for 4 weeks and this was our chance to catch them up as they had left the UK in their motorhome a month before […]
Sightseeing In Seville – The Beating Heart of Spain
Seville had been on our list of must-dos since we arrived in Spain. So after we said goodbye to Andy and Moira in Conil as they were about to start the long journey back to Northern Ireland, we too headed north but only as far as our anticipated visit to Seville. The car park come […]
Conil de la Frontera on The Coast of Light
It has been a long time since we updated our blog. A change of circumstances had us hurrying back to the UK in early May 2017. But we had a few more places to visit before that and the next number of posts relate to the end of our first tour of 2017. After we […]
Estepona – Large Beach Resort To Old Town Charm
After a busy few days in Ronda, our plan was to tour the white villages back towards the coast. Unfortunately the weather was taking a turn for the worse again with tumbling temperatures and rain predicted in the hills. Plans were quickly changed and we felt the call of the coast again for some sunshine […]
Nothing Has Changed On the Costa Del Sol
From Nerja we have travelled past Malaga into the heart of the tourist Costa del Sol. First stop was the campsite at Cabopino which lies about half way between Fuengirola and Marbella. The campsite was busy with many British long termers who drive straight down to here, book in for 3-4 months and stay here […]
Chilled Out Nerja On Carnival Weekend
Arriving in Nerja the satnav directed us down towards a huge piece of waste ground being used as a car park in a dip below Mercadona. The road was rough and full of potholes but we managed to get down (36.75017, -3.88074). Thinking we were clear Alan drove towards the parking area only to hear […]
A Pleasant Surprise In La Villajoyosa
After our big day out in Benidorm we battened down the hatches for some rain and stormy winds for a couple of days at the campsite but no snow thank goodness. Our early days in Villajoyosa were spent finding the supermarket for supplies, banks for cash machines and other such mundane tasks. We had driven […]
Hair-Cut and Half-Cut in Benidorm
Kelpie is still parked up at Camping Imperium Alicante. The weather has improved a little for a couple of days, so we take the opportunity catch a tram up to the thriving holiday metropolis of Benidorm on the Costa Blanca. Although we gave Benidorm a wide swerve as regards campsites, we couldn’t resist a wee […]
