I was rather surprised when Mia wanted to drive out to Spandau and see the citidel…until she told me it had a bat basement. As it was a highlight for her we were up early and one of the first people in. You already know I’m not a huge history buff, so I skip through …

Day 112 – These legs are made for walking…and bopping 🎶
In planning our weekend together Mia had asked how much she could exhaust me…I said go for it. This disregards my body’s natural clock and so it’s 5:30am I’m awake while the rest of the van is sleeping and I know I have a 21hr day of planned activities ahead…ah well sleep is overrated. Our …

Day 111 – great friends make memories
Journey: Berlin So 5 humans and 3 dogs all slept in the van…and we actually slept in! Heike and I were late to warm up, but made it to first class (Handstands – always the hardest physically, and scariest for me the evil bunny hops). After one class my body was done. I’m such an …
Day 110 – 5 in the bed and the little one said…
Journey: Berlin I remember reading on a motorhome forum a post saying how awkward it was when friends presumed they could stay as it was obviously too cramped and not practical…. I’m the total opposite, I absolutely love and appreciate my friends coming out to visit and share in our adventure and so on Saturday …

109 – The boy can swim!
Ok boring bits first, all morning was spent sorting the van leak out. Are you the sort of person who doesn’t know how to work the boiler/thermostat/dvd player…those random bits of house infrastructure that are obvious…if you know how. If you are, then like us you will drive 45 minutes to a garage, use Google …
108 – Sprung a leak
When your day starts by fixing the toilet you kind of hope it can only get better…for the most part it did. I’m trying a new time management technique so I had to plan out my day and list out 3 priorities (fix toilet/buy bed sheets/defluff -what an exciting insight into my life 😂 So …
Day 107 – Muckypups
Journey: Chlopy – Gaski – Trzebiatow – Szczecin It’s funny what a difference time can make. At 7am, I was jogging down round a quiet town and along a pristine beach. On my way back a few locals were picking up bread and pastries from the bakery and Chlopy had a completely different feel. That …
106 – Sun, sand and iced coffee
Journey: Slowinski National Park – Slupsk – Koszalin – Chlopy Hands up if you like the sun? In my van I’m outnumbered 4:1 and thus had a moaning hubby and panting pups to contend with. Still we had the perfect beach for perfect beach weather. Parked at Slowinski National Park at 9am there were already …
Day 105 – The Polish Riviera
Journey: Gdansk – Westerplatte – Sopot – Leba I’m yet to really love running, but I do love finding hidden gems while I’m out and today’s murals, sculpture, and the stunning Amber Alter were well worth it (I inadvertently arrived for morning service and felt obliged to stay as only 6 people there. I’ve no …
Day 104 – Arrive with empty belly
Journey: Malbork – Gdansk When visiting the world’s largest medieval castle it would really help if I had a greater interest in history. I know it sounds awful but as impressive as it was (and huge! and skillfully restored), after 45minutes of audio commentary whilst pottering around, I’d reached my limit. I switched it off …
