Daniel Rodriguez Draws the Mighty Ford
When we were in the north of France we met up with Claudia and Daniel Rodriguez. Daniel is a very talented artist, and after we chatted for a while he painted a drawing on the Ford. He also drew us and the mighty Ford and has uploaded his pictures to his FaceBook page. Check them […]
Home Run
In the last week we have been hoteling and camping between Bremerhaven and Bremen. We spent 2 x nights camping in a cute little beachside area called Cux Haven on the North Sea. Great food and friendly people. Met a guy (Dennis) at a seaside restaurant – he was the barman. He spoke German, Spanish […]
We’re Done… Sort Of
You could say that we have successfully driven around the world. And we have. Its taken 18 months, litres of fuel, tears, giggles, belly laughs and stress. It couldn’t have happened without Barry and Donna. While I like to think I could have done this, “alone”, it would not have been the same. They show […]
World’s Best Burger in Avola
We’re in a log cabin pub/guest house, 250km south west of Jasper, AT a place called Avola, British Columbia, Canada. A bloke named Larry runs it and the sign on the front door says “There ain’t no place like this place, so… this must be the place”. When you enter the log cabin pub it’s […]
Heading for a Party
We’re scooting along to get to Vancouver, to load the Cruiser for the home trip, so we can get back for Pop’s 90th birthday party. We’ve done 900km in two days, and to say I’m shagged is a bit of an underestimate. So it’s a good time for some reflections on travels through Canada. It’s […]
Home Run to Portugal
Once we left the UK we headed straight to Portugal in pretty quick time due to our desire (mine in particular) to end the trip and get home. We drove straight to Portugal through Spain in a bit of a marathon effort diving 300 to 400km per day. We reached Portugal spent 3 days in […]
The Sounds of Silence
Isn’t the car quiet when you’re blueing. “Blueing: to blue – verb, ‘argue, disagree, animated chat, or, in context for a male – to lose”. We left Halifax, Nova Scotia, about August 16. We camped in the bush and it stormed overnight. Next morning I was last out of bed and I DIDN’T ZIP THE […]
Bits I Missed
A few things I forgot to report on our time in Nova Scotia. We flew in on Condor Air from Hamburg. The airline is a cheap German carrier. Our car was loaded on the Atlantic Sail a day or two before and would take two weeks to get to Halifax, so we burned some time […]
Beautiful Newfoundland
After arriving a week ago, here’s few thoughts on Newfoundland, or NF as it’s known locally. Newfoundland is an island above Nova Scotia, both provinces of Canada. We came here to fill in some time until the Cruiser arrives from Hamburg. We hired a car and then proceeded to find what a jewel of a […]
UK Ireland and Scotland
After we saw Alan take his spitfire flight all four of us drove to friends of theirs: Barry and Rosemary down below London to a place called Uckfield. We spent 3 days there – was very nice. Barry and Rosemary really looked after us. Donna cooked a great meal on our last night – Vegie […]
