Die gestrige Etappe hat uns nach #larochelle geführt. Eine tolle Stadt mit quirligem Studentenflair und einer lebhaften Kneipenszene. Übernachtungsmöglichkeit:. Camping Le Soleil ist einfach aber sauber und gemütlich und liegt in Fußreichweite der Stadt ein guter Spot, um sich die Stadt anzusehen.

Getting stuck in the most beautiful place - videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…
Masatrigo looks like a volcano, but it is just a beautifully shaped hill with a roundabout around it. It looks so cool from afar, and the entire area is actually super beautiful. But it has been raining in Spain for many weeks and the soil/grass was very wet. We parked in a not so very steep place, but it was enough to get us totally stuck.
Luckily a very nice old man came to our rescue.
Campervans very welcome at Deepdale Camping & Rooms on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast
I'm a #vanlifer, and I live in my #CamperVan that I built entirely from scratch myself. I've got a full #solar system, 21 gallons of water storage, diesel heater, a fridge, kitchen, bed, all stuffed into a tiny Grand Caravan. I'm currently in the #losangeles area and looking to make connections with other cool weirdos. But, being in a van the location could easily change, although I don't plan on going anywhere for a while.

Gone to #loch ken to have the #camperVan properly tested
#Pizza cooked in the new oven on top of the old gas BBQ
Tidied that away and now for a spot of #Xbox on the park WiFi before sleep
My eldest was very impressed with the pizza
Got the trip off to a great start motivationally
Po dlouhém období, kdy stál Spoďár v servisu, jsme zase venku. Konečně. Krušné hory jsou opravdu krušné, klepeme kosu, my, zmlsanci pučícím jarem v Povltaví. Lije jako z konve. Dokonce jsme cestou potkali Barču a Foresta, viz odkaz. Beru to jako znamení Spoďárova znovuzrození. Teď, o Velikonocích, protože kdy jindy, že jo.
Trapped in a storm for many days videos.trom.tf/w/jwu1LtBABCHGW…
Several storms hit Spain for almost a month. Raining, clouds, cold and wind. We decided to go to a motorhome parking in Alcaracejos and stay there for several days to wait for the storm to calm down. We put a lot of strain on our batteries and our patience

UNESCO-listed Roman sites in Orange. Arc de Triomphe d'Orange honours veterans of Gallic Wars & Legio II Augusta (1). The 1st C. Théâtre Antique d'Orange is best-preserved Roman theatre in Europe (2) & curiously, head on emperor’s statue was detachable—ready for a change of regime! In adjacent museum, cadastres from 77 BCE record colony plan (3); only surviving such record of entire Roman era. A stroll around intriguing medieval village of Saint-Montan (4).
En route to farm (€0 to stay/
