Van Turismo Diary

A lengthy driving day, turned in to about 4 or 5 hours in the end. Our final destination, just south of the middle of no where in place called Vas near Santiago de Compostela. The rain was horrendous, it was literally horizontal rain. Horrific, the reception was a little bar/ restaurant and it looked very […]

Strangely enough I have probably had my favourite days of the trip so far. Yes it’s 6 degrees, yes I’ve been caught in 3 different half storms, yes I thought we lost the wallet and do on. I woke up about 08:30 and despite a bit of rain it was nice to see some grey

We packed up… there was snow forecast and we didn’t want to risk being there for another 2 or 3 days and having to take days away from sunnier climbs. So in the piss pouring rain I packed the awning up, the porch door and got soaked in the mean time. But we got it

Last night was tough, Rory is teething so was crying from 4pm until 10pm, it got to the point I was out walking him in the pitch black around the campsite in his baby carrier. That seemed to do the trick and within 5 minutes he was gone, but the fear of waking up meant

Hola!! Day 3 in Spain, weather has been nice today but chilly, like early spring back home. It has been about 10 or 11. I have worn shorts obviously, and went for a walk with Rory in his carrier, he slept the whole time. Standard. Lisa is currently in the camper blasting out away in

Drove for about 6 or 7 hours today ended up south of Bordeaux at Dune du Pillat the largest sand dune in Europe. Currently sat wild camping at a park up. We walked Rory down to the beach front which is about 10 minutes walk over some sand dunes to get to the sea, the

Happy Hump Day!! Iv not worked (a job) since 9th December so the days seem to merge into 1. Had a very quiet day really, not left the camper, I spent most of the morning with the wee man whilst Lisa tidied the van. With the space being small it can quickly get extremely cluttered.

This is the life!! This is VanLife!! I normally put 1 picture up but there’s probably 9 or 10 I could put up. We are currently Sat in Ls Rochelle old town, with the Wee Man and having a Coq Kardi (Lager) and Lisa is having…… SHOCK…. Mojito! We are in a Scottish Pub, we
