We enjoyed staying on Hillerød campsite, which is beautifully designed and cared for, with flowers everywhere, a proper kitchen and some outside showers. It was nice to relax with a wrap from the food van, a glass or two of wine and live music. We managed to avoid the torrential shower by hiding under our... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a busy and very enjoyable day, exploring some of Denmark. We woke early, thankfully, before the tractors arrived to work on the new car park. We left the aire and stopped for fuel, encountering a new type of pay by pump, which John managed to operate without any problems. 1189 krona to fill... Continue Reading →
Wednesday evening, we enjoyed a quiet night at a campervan aire in Nordenham. John cooked pizza for our tea then we washed up and had an early night. I slept better, if not very soundly, and feel more lively today. Today, Thursday, the journey has felt very long again. We’ve mainly driven through flat agricultural... Continue Reading →
It’s been a long, tiring day. I barely got any sleep last night because I’m full of cold and my sinuses were hurting, then the tannoy woke us up at 5.30 UK time (6.30 in The Netherlands). We dragged ourselves out of bed and had a drink and a croissant before going on deck to... Continue Reading →
Today we set off on a long awaited trip up to the Lofoten Islands and eventually Nordkapp, the highest point in Europe. We’re travelling via the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Finland… lots of new countries for us and, hopefully, lots of adventures. Yesterday, John had to take Molly Moho to have some sockets fixed…... Continue Reading →
On the last day of our trip, we walked into the south part of the old town from our Airbnb, entering it via the gate of Sendlingor Tor. We wandered through the streets for a while, before exploring the beautiful area around Marienplatz more carefully. The Fish Fountain Michaelskirche When we’re in a city, we... Continue Reading →
Sadly, our snowshoeing trip ended on Friday, and we all went our separate ways. John and I caught the bus to Steinach, then the train to Innsbruck, as did a few of the others. We had an hour to wait until our train to Munich, where I’d booked an Airbnb for a couple of nights... Continue Reading →
It snowed heavily overnight and when I opened the curtains this morning, the views were magnificent. An extra 20 centimetres of snow meant we were in for an excellent day of snowshoeing. Sean and Dave assessed the risk and advised us that we wouldn’t be able to go up to Allerleigrubenspitze (a 2131 metre peak)... Continue Reading →
We had more wine than usual last night because we’re taking a rest day today and stayed chatting after dinner. As a result, I had a headache when I woke up after too little sleep; therefore, a leisurely breakfast was called for. Some people chose to head to a retail park in Brenner, some caught...

Today’s trip had a worrying start when Minx, Joy’s lovely black labrador wasn’t allowed on the bus, and we drove off without them 😱. We later found out that Sean had also got off the bus and, thankfully, the owner of Almi’s, offered them a lift down the valley to join us. We didn’t have... Continue Reading →
