After spending a couple of days on the coast we headed inland to site number 2: Beekse Bergen. The journey was little over an hour and we were soon very excited to be motoring down the driveway towards the impressive resort... and it is a resort rather than a caravan site; it comprises of a holiday park, water park and…
I appreciate that this is departure from caravanning and motorhoming. However I just wondered whether it would be of interest for those that might be considering it as a bit of a change. Six years ago we went on our first cruise which took us across the Bay of Biscay (and didn’t we know it!!!) along the coast of Spain and…
Our journey now starts to head north as we leave the Potsdam region and drive up to Userin, about three hours north of Berlin to our third German site or seventh site of 20. The site is called Havel Tourist (Havelberge) and is one of a group of Leading campsites. It has a 5 star rating. Havelberge is one of nine campsites…
The distance between our 4th and 5th site is 425km (264 miles); it meant driving all the way across the country from the west of Germany to the East, near Berlin. In the planning stage, we decided at this point that we would stop at a Stellplatz (equivalent of an Aire in France), in order to break up the journey. We looked…
Dear Editor, We're just back from a month's holiday in France with our caravan and what I can only describe as the best tow car ever. You may remember a few months ago I suggested that the Alpina D3 Biturbo saloon should be included in the Club's Tow Car of the year competition. I didn't get a reply in regard to the idea,…
We bought our motorhome in early 2010 as a 25th anniversary present to ourselves and decided to tour the champagne region of France in June. We found a lovely location by a canal and parked up next to several other motorhomes (or camping cars as the French like to call them). Right next to us were a lovely couple from Hull…
In early May 2009 we set off on an exploration of the Italian Lakes with Venice thrown in for good measure. When we travel to Italy we tend to travel down through Germany and Austria but this time we decided to go via the Tunnel de Frejus so most of the initial journey was through France. Now I am not overly keen on long…
Summary This year I had promised to visit my brother in Spain but having been to Spain many times before I didn't want to cover too much old ground, So for 2016 I worked out a rough schedule, covering some new ground, for a circular trip down through France to the Costa Blanca. This included a stop off on the Ile de Re.…
Our route from the Bodensee back into France was very scenic and we seem to follow a small stream for many miles. The border between Germany and France is the Rhine. As we crossed the river to the French side we saw vehicles being pulled over up ahead of us. When it was our turn we were just waved through!!! The thing you…
We're one week into our 'Five Countries in Five Weeks' and have now crossed the border into Germany. The journey from Heumans Bos to our next site, Alfsee Ferien und Erlungspark, was about three hours, although we stopped to stock up on food, which seems to be cheaper than in Holland. Alfsee Ferien und Erlungspark is a…
