Weather: 16C-30C, Sunny We caught the ferry from Algeciras, Spain to Ceuta Morocco on Friday 1st, October passing close by the Rock of Gibraltar. The trip takes about 1½ hours and set us back about 186 Euro for we two Aussies and the camper. There was nowhere to camp at Algeciras Port the night we arrived prior to departure so we found a 24hr car park and took a room at the Marine Victoria Hotel across the road. A big mistake! Why is it that when you look at a h...

Weather: 15C-27C Hola from Espanol! Well we continue our southerly push towards Morocco and struggle to cope with all the ignorant *******s that can't speak Australian. As I write, the church bell in the little Spanish village of Castrojeriz calls the so inclined to penance. We are camping in the shadow of the castle ruins of Castillo de Castrojriz in the town of the same name on the pilgrim route. Very rural and need I say, very Spanish! The day started with a ...

Weather: Nights 14C/Day 29C Dry (Paris) We have Ireland done and dusted and shipped back to England on the 8th Sept.

We headed towards London on the motorways taking a fairly direct route, as the countryside has become a little ho- hum after over a month of touring, and magi...

Weather: Nights 10C/Day 22C Moving down the West coast has provided us with some great scenery and the chance to get in some coastal walks. We are surprised however, with the number of locals living on this side of Ireland. Apparently there are some four and a half million Leprechauns living on this little patch of mainly rock covered by patches of dirt and grass. For some reason we expected it to be sparsely populated like Tasmania’s West coast, but bec...

Darwen not Darwin Weather: Nights 10C/Day 18C Well, the camper finally arrived on British soil. One week late, but better late than never as the saying goes! And as good as when we left her in the hands of the shipping agent in the States. All up nearly four weeks and A$3600.00 including customs clearance (for those who need to know). Those of you with an interest, will notice from the photos that the camper was reversed into the container in the USA. I mana...
