Due south was the direction we took next and as we avoided driving on the toll roads we found ourselves cruising through beautiful countryside and quaint old villages. The pace of life was pretty good. Our destination was the Loire river where wine tasting and bike riding awaited us. We had chosen a campsite rightContinue reading “Ingrandes sur Loire”

Châtillon-en-Vendelais
After St Michel was such a success on the bike we decided to find another spot further south with some more dedicated bike paths. Tim found a campsite on a lake that was situated on a bike path that joined the towns Fougères and Vitre. It was only going to be a 45min drive soContinue reading “Châtillon-en-Vendelais”
Mont Saint Michel
So our plan in France was to stay off of the beaten track and explore the countryside yet as the plan wasn’t set in stone we decided to head further south and west to have a look at Mont Saint Michel (possibly the most famous sight in the area). The photos we had seen ofContinue reading “Mont Saint Michel”
Vive La France
After a quick pack up we were on our way to the ferry terminal to cross the channel. In our excitement we may have gotten there a little early but the lovely lady at the ticket booth got us on an earlier ferry which was lucky as we had a few hours drive the otherContinue reading “Vive La France”
Southampton to Dover
The stay at the New Forest was a great test of the van and we were lucky that we really didn’t need much doing to it in order to head off and live in it for 6 months. Two things that did need sorting out were the air conditioning and a way in which toContinue reading “Southampton to Dover”
The New Forest
We left Kelly and Ben’s a bundle of excitement as we were going to be spending the first night in our van! We were also pretty excited to be spending that night in the New Forest. Ben and Kelly had given us a good campsite to stay at and as we got there relatively earlyContinue reading “The New Forest”
Back in London 6/23
We arrived at London Heathrow fully laden with backpacks and extra bags full of ski/winter gear both very excited to be back in Europe. A taxi ride later and we were at Mum and Dad’s in London and it was really fantastic to see them again. The plan for the first couple of weeks wasContinue reading “Back in London 6/23”
Back on the Road
Fast forward 7 months since our last post and we are onto our next adventure. The last seven months on the Sunshine Coast have been a blur with work, renovations and catching up with friends and family. The time spent in the camper was amazing but I sure did enjoy having my own toilet andContinue reading “Back on the Road”
Sign Off
Yeppoon was bittersweet as it was going to be the last longer stop we had before hitting the Sunshine Coast again. What was originally going to be a 3 week stay for Tim’s appointments has now changed to a longer one due to our tenant moving out of our house. We thought we would useContinue reading “Sign Off”
Yeppoon
After Mission beach we headed back to the farm for a few days, onto my sisters in Kuttabul for a few more and then started the journey back home. We decided on Yeppoon, a seaside town near Rockhampton mostly because our new nephew in law who is golf mad said their course was in greatContinue reading “Yeppoon”
