Friday, 13th/Saturday, 14th September 2019 – Home to Boppard and Oberwesel, Germany Early in the afternoon, after handing off some outstanding work to a colleague, we set off across country to Hull to catch the overnight P&O ferry to Rotterdam, stopping on the outskirts of Hull to buy a flat (please don’t ask; the short…

Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home
Tuesday, May 22nd/Wednesday, May 23rd – Days 18 and 19, Larrabetzu, Bilbao, Portsmouth, Home Up early, we found the drive to the ferry port was very easy, and very quick, from the hotel. We hadn’t booked breakfast, because we figured on getting something on the ferry, and so check out was quick and easy, even…

Saturday, May 5th/Sunday, May 6th – Days 1 and 2, Home, Hull, Rotterdam, Epernay, Etoges After what felt like weeks and weeks of cold, wet, miserable weather we finally started to see some sunshine as we left home on Saturday afternoon to drive to Hull and get the overnight ferry to Rotterdam, from where we…

Saturday, 5th May to Wednesday, 24th May 2018 – Hull, Rotterdam, Etoges, Bordeaux, Pau, Pugnac, Pau, Bilbao, Portsmouth Off on a road trip starting today so I’ll leave you with some old travels (being steadily imported from an old and now defunct blog) for your entertainment until we’re back.
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 16
Sunday October 8th – Day 16, Hull to Home After breakfast on board the ferry we were on our way, stopping only to refuel at cheaper prices than we can find near home. It was a grey morning so there was no temptation to stop anywhere. We made it back through the door just minutes…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 15
Saturday October 7th – Day 15 – Ligneuville, Malmedy, Ghent, Zeebrugge We made a reasonably early start from Ligneuville, stopping off in Malmedy to go to the supermarket and to hunt down somewhere where we could buy Ardennes ham. I’ve always liked Malmedy, though it’s fair to say we haven’t ever managed to spend that…
Travel 2016 – Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck, Days 17-18
Day 18 – Thursday 21st July (Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck) Moose count = Nope. Nada. Zilch. What moose? There are no moose! Finland has no moose! Finland needs no moose! With the ferry scheduled for 15:00 latest check in there wasn’t a great deal of time to achieve anything much. We “scientifically” packed the car,…
Travel 2016 – Home, London, Dover, Calais, Timmendorfer Strand, Travemünde, Helsinki, Finland, Days 1 to 3.5
Tuesday 5th July, Day 1 (Home to London) Moose/elk count = 0 (but that’s not surprising geographically. The Home Counties are not known for their moose). This was in some ways the first day of our holiday even though I was working from home, not wanting to go into London and back out only to…
Travel 2013 – Zandvoort, Bloemendaal, The Netherlands
Thursday, 4th/Sunday, 7th July 2013 – Zandvoort, Bloemendaal Things I learned at Zandvoort this year… 1. It bloody hurts when you trip over the parc ferme barriers and hit the Tarmac elbows and forearms first, thank you very much Circuit Park Zandvoort! I have the scabbed over left elbow and pebble dashed right arm to…
Travel 2005 – Combloux, Megeve, Bettex, Rochebrune, France
Friday, 26th February – Sunday, 6th March 2005 – Combloux and Megeve We were catching a ridiculously early ferry from Dover – 5.00 or something ghastly – which meant we should be in Combloux by mid-afternoon all being well. It also meant we were staying in a hotel near Dover overnight on Friday, because I…
