Finalising everything. We are in a lovely little apartment overlooking a magnificent pool and we get a peek at the sea. We're about half an hour from the city off Palma, Mallorca. It's great to have space, and especially a washing machine. We even have English TV, reception is some what limited though. We've become used to not having it and are walking evenings instead of being glued to the box. The beach here in Palma nova is one of the best we've been o...

We managed to catch up with sister Judi and hubby Mike in the south of France. They were heading south to Coulieres to do a cruise. After a quick catch up with some genuine Kiwis we headed north towards Germany. We had conditioned ourselves for what we thought was going to be a long and arduous trip back to the north of Germany.

The fortress Alcazaba was built between the 11th and 13th centuries. The palace, Palacio Nazaries, was built for the Muslim rulers during the 13th to 15th centuries and is simply breathtaking. We were lucky to arrive just in time for the afternoon viewing and for 12 euros each we thought repres...

We stayed with the coastal road through Toulon, Marseille where once again parking was the big issue so we kept going back through Arles and out to the coast where we came across this amazing town right on the waterfront. All the way in we saw riding stable after riding stable where literally hundreds of horses were waiting to be hired out. We made our way to one of the listed campervan places and when we arrived there would be at least 100 vans all spread down...
