Fkk Camping Ulika – Istria
Ulika camping is the last naturist site that we had not visited in mainland Croatia. There are still two on the islands that are on our list but they are quite a distance and logistically difficult for a short trip so they will have to wait a while longer. Camping Ulika is run by Istra […]

Spring upgrades
Inverter First on the to-do list was to finally install a 200w inverter. We already never use or require an electrical hook-up and only ever take advantage of it when we visit a campsite where the electric is part of the pitch cost, but we do have a couple of things that still only have […]

Željava Air Base, Zadar and Pag island
Željava Air Base Its felt like a very long 3 months since our return from Spain and I was in need of an adventure so I packed the van and headed south through Slovenia and Northern Croatia to the Bosnian border. The drive there was quite surreal and somewhat unnerving as this area was where […]

Monte Lussari – Italy
With the mountain weather pretty stormy the last weeks in Austria we were desperate to get outdoors but struggling with choice. I didn’t particularly want to fight with the weather and I also did not want to repeat mountains just for the sake of it. So I looked a little further away for a change. […]

Winter hiking
We are now deep into the winter and the conditions become more stable as it gets colder with less avalanche risk, so I thought I would share some winter tours of my favourite local (ish) mountains. The mountains in winter can be a scary proposition for some but if you have good summer hillwalking experience, […]

Costa del Sol
Getting back on track after our amazing weeks detour and return to Cabo de Gata, we headed south for the lovely out of season town of Nerja and found a beach side parking for a few days. From here we explored Nerja which at the end of November had a British retirement home feel to […]

Cabo de Gata
After our amazing time inland and in the mountains we returned to the coastline at Motril. This would be the week of Leela’s birthday but our plans of staying a whole week at the naturist camp Almanat would have to be put on hold as the campsite had suffered badly during the flooding a couple […]

Andalusia – Part II
First stop inland, after getting new front brake pads for the van in Almeria, was the Tabernas desert. We parked next to the very popular Hollywood theme park and hiked 15km all around this quite marvellous landscape. Many movies have been filmed here over the years and its still a very popular location these days. […]

Andalusia – Part I
Andalusia has been the highlight of this trip for me whilst planning it the last four years. It’s a region that I know quite well after spending many mountain bike and hiking trips there as well as time on the coastline. But I had never travelled this far South in a campervan before so this […]

Costa Blanca
Having very reluctantly left our beach parking after a glorious week, we were on our way down the coast an hour to spend a few days at Vila Joiosa. We also needed a few days at a campsite with facilities so that I could fix a broken water valve connection on the boiler. We stayed […]
Not all those who wonder are lost…
