Last night at Gemtree was an absolute blast – the best evening with the gang and our new friends! Kate and her team provide us with a breakfast of epic proportions – the best bacon and egg sandwich so far, and we’ve had a few! It’s another glorious morning and it finally dawns on Simon that he’s without his Kangaroo hide…
Beyond Austria, the River Danube led us to Passau. This handsome Bavarian city, at the confluence of the Danube and River Inn, has a compact Altstadt, with St Stephen’s Cathedral dominant, and the Rathaus by the Danube, overlooked by the Veste Oberhaus fortress. Chiemsee was next, where we stayed at busy Panorama Camping,…
It’s such a shame to leave Yulara – there’s so much history, I could spend a whole week here! But we’re off early as usual and heading for Gemtree via Alice Springs. We’ve also recruited some newbies for the second half of our journey! Two more Bailey Australia team members will be with us for the remainder of the trip –…
Hungary started off rather like Romania did - very flat. The southern plain features Hungary’s largest national park, Hortobágyi, famous for birdwatching, water buffalo and blue-skirted cowboys. At Tiszafüred on the country’s second longest river, the Tisza, we stayed at the popular Dieters Camping. The river is dammed…
Just because we’re not driving today, doesn’t mean we can have a lie in! No, no, no! In fact, everyone came round to mine and Gina’s ‘van this morning for a spot of brekkie, so to set everything up and have the teas and coffees ready to go, we’re up at 4:15 instead of the usual 5:15! But we’re at Uluru, so who cares!?…
If I thought we were in The Outback yesterday I was greatly mistaken! We’re on The Great Central Highway today and the scenery is changing spectacularly – the road is lined with trees which looked like they’ve been carefully and meticulously planted in line along the side of the dust road and we’re surrounded by beautiful…
What a night at Tjukayirla Roadhouse! It may have been getting dark when we arrived, but right on cue the sun dipped below the horizon displaying its spectacular trail of colour in its wake. The Rangefinders looked very dramatic against the sky but before long we were plunged into darkness, so thank goodness for electric…
We last camped at Mandelieu-La Napoule on the Côte d’Azur six years ago. This time we’re on a campsite just 10 minutes’ walk up and over the hill from the old part of La Napoule. There’s a nice little beach, bijou hotels and the railway station from where you can catch a train to all stops to Marseille in one direction,…
After leaving Aire Sur L’Adour we travelled south to Pau and managed to circumnavigate the city with ease this time as it was well signposted going south for Zaragoza, spelled with an S. We passed once again through beautiful countryside as we crossed the Pyrenees through the Somport Tunnel and exited to long awaited sun.…
Well its always funny when you go to a new site. its exciting but you always wonder what it will be like. This ones in the middle of an industrial estate and as you approach you are thinking this is going to be a disaster but actually its really rather nice. you climb up the side of the country park past the lake and come…
