J&M Today

Last post was Thursday 25th, so picking up the thread from then, Thursday we travelled to our usual Calais site, but that was full, so we found another ACSI site near, and spent a...

Been quiet on the blogging front, mostly because we don’t have much to report. We stayed at the Rhone camp until Wednesday morning, when we travelled to Lac D’Orient. Our days...

All change again. Our site by the lake was lovely, no complaints, but we were hog-tied by the lake not allowing dogs. On Friday we went out for half a day to the River Rhone in...

We were not that happy with our site near Annecy. We didn’t read the small print, and were a drive from the water. The lake did have areas for dogs, but not many, and the site...

Sunday was hot, and also busy with weekend campers. Consequently, we didn’t do much. We had a swim in the lake, a swim in the pool, a drink at the bar and spent a good portion of...

These lazy days are addictive. We got up late, and took the dogs out for their morning walk, going round the lake to the cafe where we had a coffee and a swim, before strolling...

We went to Sirmione today, about 15 minutes drive West of our site, situated at the end of a long spit of land on the south shore of Lake Garda. It was very Italian. The old...

Today was travel day. We started from our camp in Croatia - natch - and briefly travelled through Slovenia - ooh - before entering Italy to travel to Lake Garda - ahh. We...

Not much to report today. We got up and sat around the camp, took the dogs for a walk before it got too hot and had lunch, egg mayo today. We then went to the beach; the dogs know...

We were up late and lazed round the camp, before going to the beach in the afternoon. We decided to book another 2 days as we are wanting to slow down a bit. We’ve identified...

Saturday night, we took a stroll in to Novigrad, which was pretty and buzzing. We will go back another night for drinks and dinner. Sunday, we started slowly and didn’t speed up...

Today was travel day (again). We crossed from Slovenia to Croatia. Our new site is near Novigrad on the isthmian coast. After a few cloudy and wet days, today was warm to start...

Today we visited Zagreb. This was mostly to answer an argument. Jane visited it in the mid-seventies with the Italian family she was au pairing for when she worked in Italy and I...

Today was all about the gorge. We bought our tickets online last night, and were off camp by about 8.20 to drive 15 minutes to the parking, from where we caught the shuttle bus to...

Today was another travel day. We packed up in the rain and said goodbye to Italy, to drive two hours to Lake Bled in Slovenia. Crossing the border consisted of nothing more than...

When Jane went to pay for our stay on Sunday evening, the day before we planned to leave, the lady mentioned that it was a holiday in Italy for the following two days, so to...

When we picked up the keys for the villa at the start of our stay, the lady said that there was no one in straight after us, so we could leave at 4 or 5ish. This message did not...

Last few days

We picked up Laura Saturday morning and Alex Sunday morning, when we also picked up the hire car. Both were lazy days otherwise; sunning round the pool, a stroll down to the...

Not blogged for a few days. Tuesday we had a relaxed day on the beach. Wednesday we left the camp early to pickup the keys for the villa, since they closed at 12.30pm. This...

We went to Villasimius today. It had got a good shout on a comment on a Richard and Jackie video, where they were commenting that they are coming soon to Sardinia and asking for...

One of the things that we have noticed is that we don’t really need to know what day it is. That is, except for Saturday and Sunday, since those are the days when all those...

Today was a lazy day, a really lazy day. We had a cup of tea waiting for the washing to finish, then went for a walk with the dogs down the beach. It was hot. We strolled first...

I’m sitting in the early morning sun with my first cup of tea, reflecting on our journey so far, as we are about half way through our trip. We have said to ourselves many times...

Our first site on Sardinia was lovely, if a bit big - we had to wear wrist bands 😁 - but situated on the north coast it gets all the wind. These were up to 29mph on Saturday, so...

Today we took the 10am ferry to Sardinia, arriving at 18.30. Being Italian, it left at 10.30 and arrived around 18.45. Boarding was shambolic but it kind of worked. None of the...

Ferry to Sardinia today, sailing at 10am and due in the Olbia at 18.30. We have a cabin which is lovely, feels like a mansion after the van. We are just going to see what doggie...

Monday’s weather was forecasted to be dry, except for rain around 12pm for an hour, so we decided on a big day out to Assisi. What a delight. It was beautiful at every turn. I...

Yesterday was travel day. We said goodbye to the AirBnB house, left the key under the doormat and were away by 7.30am. Not much to note except the journey, that was pegged as 3.5...

We were up and out early to get to the garage recommended by Romeo. It was just 10 minutes away and we arrived just after 8am. After a false start with someone who didn’t speak...
