The drive from Utrecht to Lathum was a little longer than we'd expected but it was well worth it in the end. The Camperstop was on the edge of a marina overlooking the boats. This one was €8.50 a night but there were showers and toilets we could use. There's only about 6 spots to park in, but only three vans were there and we managed to grab the end space so we had our own little garden area between the van and some bushes. We immediately got out the table and ...

It's around an hour drive from Amsterdam to Utrecht and once we got there we headed into town first to find a supermarket so we could grab some bread and some beers (we hadn't had one since we arrived and it didn't feel right). we parked up after getting seriously lost. we tried to find the tourist office and got even more lost but that was kinda the best bit. Utrecht is beautiful. Loads of hidden bars under bridges along the canals. It was cool. So when we found...

We left the cheese farm all full of Gouda and headed straight for Amsterdam. We found parking wasn't that easy to find and ended up parking near the Heineken brewery museum.

We moseyed back to the camp and met a crazily cute baby goat along the way. We didn't have anything to feed it with but it was happy to chew my finger. Awesome. We d...

Up before 7am on a Sunday wasn't very nice but I couldn't sleep that well anyway with all the excitement. That's despite the fact we were up till about 1 the night before finishing packing up Lynn. We'd said goodbye to Trish (BK's mum) that night, but got back to mine too late to say bye to my mum and dad. So they were up at 7 as well to see us off, which was lovely. Becci and I were a bit edgy with each other as we set off which I guess was the nerves and the ti...
