On the road again.

Spring has sprung and we are off at last. Sunday we were sleeping on Marine Parade Dover, Yachts to the rear and the ferry boats arriving and departing. Tried the local fish and chips then sleep , before an early morning trip to catch the Dunkirk ferry. Two hours of smooth waters and then the whole of Europe lay before us.
Drove East, through France and into Belgium.Awful roads and boring flat landscape before climbing the gentle slopes of the Ardennes to an Aire at Hans sur Lesse. The following day, it was the autobahns of Germany. At the moment still toll free, but not for much longer, as we saw Toll Collect signs beginning to appear at the road side.
Last night we stayed at an urban Aire in Pforzheim. Free!! Just as well, because today we are at Hofen See in Austria, a proper site and it is costing gold plated euros. 
This is the view from where we are sitting, glass of wine in hand and from the rear, we have snow on the mountains.
To show you how warm it has become, Sue is modelling last year's mid length, shorts.

  2. Bored. In bed with a rotten cold. Have read the news, checked out facebook. Then I remembered your blog! Looks like you are enjoying yourselves☺ Have added you to my home page so I can keep up with your progress. Next time you have a glass of wine think of me, (I can't have one myself I'm such a lightweight). Stay safe. God bless. Michelle
