We left the albergue about 7am, stopping at the Panaderia de Los Arcos for some coffee and sweets. There were a lot of wheat fields with mountain backgrounds in the 7 kilometers between Los Arcos and Sansol, the first town along the way. It was fairly to other days, so far. At the entrance to Sansol we stopped at the Tienda Colmado for another cup of coffee and some sweets, our second breakfast. O Read on...
So we wake up to an amazing day of sunshine as so happy that I had packed a pair of shorts but not so happy did not have my razor for my legs but hey ho as I am getting older my hair is going grey so had a double check and thought until I find a boots chemist I can make sure I do a river dance so no one can notice any hairy legs!!
Anyway Mike decides he is going to have a shower in the motorhome Read on...
Sunday morning we enjoyed some wonderful sunshine on our backs and throughout the day temperatures reached 21o – bliss! A lot of vans left this morning, but by 11 oclock the next lot had started to roll in; it appears to be a constant moving feast during the peak season.
We drove back into town to do a little bit of sightseeing. First stop was to look at a mural on the Bourke Water Tower of Gun Read on...
This was our first time driving an RV. The engine is a bit louder than were used to, and theres more ‘correction to be done to keep oneself ‘centred up the lane of travel. The wind is more easily felt while you are driving as well, which when received as a ‘gust of wind, it can set your heart jumping a bit.
Crossing the border at Ogdensburg was a breeze. There were three cars ahead of us an Read on...
After we returned home last night from the pub we were sure the wind had abated or at least in the pitch blackness of Church Hill, Oban, it seemed that way.
However, during the night the wind did return with gusto and we assume from a slightly different direction as something metallic was rattling noisily on the roof wanting to take off into the air and land somewhere to the east of us.

The last time I was here was back a few years ago and we sat with friends in the square and enjoyed strawberries and cream in the sunshine.
The Town Hall is among the most impressive town halls of Tuscany, overlooking the square with its copy of Michaelangelos David statue as well the gallery of statues in the adjacent Loggia with its sculpture gallery of antique and Renaissance art.

Moving on from Denmark towards Albany on the Bibbulmun Track entails getting either around or across Wilson Inlet first. Unlike each of the other inlets encountered along the Southern Ocean coastline, this crossing can be done neither by wading nor by paddling - unless you have your own canoe or kayak. And so it was that I found myself forking out sixty dollars to the manager of the Blue Wren host Read on...
Yesterday we spent the entire day driving so I got a nice 8 hours into work. We had another issue with the truck, and we had to stop off at an AutoZone to replace one of the coils. We got in late to Leeman Field RV Park and Campground, VA. It is a Passport America park, so our rate is only $15 a night. The RV Park is next to a park with a swimming pool, basketball, bike trail, etc.
Today we tried Read on...
First task of the day was to pack up the motorhome and change campsites to another (Shrubbery Farm). Just 2.6 miles down the road as our booking arrangements at the first site had been unexpectedly altered by the arrival of a rally which wanted the whole site including our pitch ! No bother. We were recamped by 9.30 and ready to get on with our day which was to be an outing to Southwold.
