Back in November 2008 we met a couple – Barry & Hazel – in a campsite in Holland where they had a little Mazda Bongo camper. We showed our van off and showed how much you can cram into a small space. Then another “internet contact” was selling his sister…
We’re in L’Aquilia and having our 3rd night here. Nice town, and loads for us to do. Had a long 17m run today so ache like mad, and assuming we can walk we’re planning to go biking in the mountains tomorrow…. Some plans for the rest of the week, up…
Week 4 has been interesting! Full diary listed here: http://www.doyourdream.co.uk/trip03week4.php One heck of a lot of driving (800 miles?) and not a lot of nice random finds! However, some truely amazing places visited – Pompeii, Paestrum, Matera, Alberobello to name a few. All worth visiting – just a shame its…

Yesterday was a bit of a disaster. We planned a morning run but it was raining, so cancelled and went to see Lake Geneva. Geneva was covered in fog and drizzle so nothing could be seen, so we thought we’d stay the night and check it the next day. Signs…
En-route South we have stopped in Brussels for a couple of nights and had a cycle tour of the city yesterday. The picture is supposed to be a representation of an atom – any guess for the element? Off now aiming to make Strasburg for the night. So far so…
Hi We’re home again after 49 days away for trip 2. Pretty knackered. Home for a short while so hopefully catch up with everyone, and looking for ideas for trip 3! Below shows where we’ve been for trips 1 & 2 so far….. Anyway – back to…
Just leaving Spain through the Tunnel de Bielsa through the Pyrenees into France. Stopping at St. Lary for a few days to get some final snowboarding in before we come home. Hope the road is clear of snow….
