How quickly the days have gone as we have travelled south. We crossed Belgium stopping in a small town called Neufchateau which had a lake and is obviously pilar in the summer but things are quiet now and there were few of us on the campsite. We refuelled in Luxembourg as it was much cheaper and stopped for the night in Mulhouse. The campsite was between two rivers and again quite quiet. Having driven through the wine regions of molsheim and obernai we crossed in...

Moving on we took the road towards Tampa and then we wandered down the coast taking in Sarasota and enjoying 2 nights on a very luxurious resort campground with huge pool and wonderful grounds and gardens.

In the Everglades we encountered wonderful birds and alligators and foun...

We spent a wonderful week with John and Lisa in Texarkana and we ate lots and played games and went for walks around the town. They are such amazing hosts and the days flew by. Leaving there we drove down to the coast arriving in Pensacola in time for the 12 th night celebration which in...

Leaving Memphis we went to Tupelo where Elvis was born and then we picked up the Natchez Trace Parkway. This was quiet and the road wandered through the flat countryside of Mississippi. The campsites are free and we spent 4 nights enjoying the drive. We then went to Vicksburg where a big battle took place in the civil war. The museum was as always very good and the battlefield site an amazing 16 miles long. It is so easy to understand the logistics of the fightin...
