  • We slept really well (wine would do that to you) and didn’t wake up to a hangover headache.  The sun was shining and it was a beautiful morning.  We took a few photos at the lakeside with Tigger as he hadn’t been down there yet and was complaining his room mate the Marmot was snoring so he…

  • The storm passed by overnight with the odd rumble of thunder and rain.  Thankfully there was no high winds so we could leave our awning up.  There was a little bit of dampness around the back door but nothing like the cascade waterfall I had endured during my early morning wake up the other day. It continued…

  • The day started of lazy and slow.  The long drive took the stuffing out of us both plus for some unknown reason the van alarm kept going off in the night. No idea why as it’s been set the same way every other night we’ve been away so far.  Griff ended up sleeping with the van keys…

  • Now we have done Lake Bled, we did a rethink of what our next move would be. We decided we would go over the Soca Valley mountain ranges as we’d heard it was a place to visit according to some of the speakers during the Adventure Bike Festival we did at the end of June.…

  • I’m glad to report it was a lovely peaceful evening and we both slept well. No thunderstorms, rain or wind! The morning was wall to wall sunshine, blue sky and the mountains glistening in the morning sun. After a much needed shower and breakfast which was toast done by Mr Griff using the Halfords camping…

  • Well, we had an interesting evening last night.  We were just preparing the bed when it started to rain. Then it rained more, and even more and before we knew it we had high winds, torrential rain, thunder and lightning! The gods were throwing everything at us! Griff had to quickly pull down the pop top…

  • After a long drive and 2 beers last night, 9 hours 38 minutes sleep had.  Crikey! We slept in! We had a hot shower, breakfast and said goodbye to the not so grumpy receptionist who gave us a big wave when we left.  He was hoping we would call back on our way back from Slovenia and…

  • Slowly getting used to the campervan bed now with the help of a bed topper and a very thick sleeping bag! Just over 8 hours sleep which is good for us and never get this at home and we must be starting to unwind. Another 2 coffees, banana, croissants and Belvita breakfast biscuits we were…

  • After having a late night last night due to Griff gigging, we got to bed around 1.00am and was up again at 5.00am.  4 hours sleep and we both knew this was going to be a long day! Thankfully we fully packed the van on Saturday and it was just the last minute toiletries and shoe…

  • Day 2 – 300 miles done so far After a much needed 8 hours sleep we were feeling more wide awake than the previous day.  Even though it rained overnight, we didn’t mind as slept right through it as it was so peaceful and quiet. Temperatures were definitely lower than the previous day and the day…
