On New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay in Saundersfoot so we’d be able to see the fireworks at midnight and would be near to Bertie Boxlife after our dip in the sea, to get warm and dry afterwards. We had a delicious meal in The Mulberry then went back to the van, where I... Continue Reading →

On Saturday we travelled down to Pembrokeshire for 5 nights. It's our first proper road trip in Bertie Boxlife, so we can see what he's like in the winter. So far, so good. We’re having a lovely trip and we’re warm and cosy. On the way down we stopped at the bakery in Machynlleth for... Continue Reading →

Today we’ve walked up Mount Srd, which is over 400 metres high... not even half the height of a Snowdonia mountain, but high for around here, especially from sea level in a relatively short distance. Everyone looked at us as though we were mad walking up, because most people get the cable car. When John... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, we booked a 3 Island cruise for today, a 6-hour trip from Dubrovnik, west along the Croatian coast and back via the islands of Lopud, Sipan and Kolocep, including some beautiful caves. We were advised that the boat would have 2 decks, with shaded and sunny areas, a party zone at the front (although... Continue Reading →

The forecast was good for today, and we’ve done lots and lots of walking over the last 4 days so we decided to have a lazy day today. We’ve been to the beach this morning. On the way met John and Jane who arrived on the same day as us. We enjoy their company, and... Continue Reading →

It was finally sunny today, and we'd also found out there was only one small cruise ship in town, so we decided to walk around the city walls. We thought we'd have a walk up Valika Petka after breakfast, then head into town for lunch, hoping that the walls would be quiet by the time... Continue Reading →

The weather was pretty rubbish again today, with gale force winds and rain so, again we put off walking around the walls of Dubrovnik. However, there were some parts of the old town we hadn’t explored yet, and we wanted to visit Fort Lovrijenac, just outside the walls. Fort Lovrijenac or St Lawrence’s Fort is set on...

As forecast, it's been blowing a gale today. We had a lie in and went down to breakfast at 9.30, only to be told we'd missed it... It finished at 10.00. The lady cleaning suggested we'd forgotten about the clocks changing. We looked at each other confused... We'd both changed our watches... And the TV... Continue Reading →

We've travelled to Dubrovnik in Croatia today. After too much wine and Chinese last night, I unfortunately woke at 2.48 and couldn't get back to sleep. As if getting up at 4.15 wasn't going to be bad enough! Never mind, at least I had time for a leisurely brew and a long cuddle with Millie... Continue Reading →
