Journey: Amsterdam – Nieuwer Ter Aa (near Utrecht) Our final day in Amsterdam and we opted for a free sculpture trail that took us to a new part of the city (we have loved the museums but they soon add up). By the time we got back we had walked 12 miles and were knackered. …

Day 21 – Swinging around
Journey: Amsterdam Another up and organised morning, and much cooler today and thus nicer for the pups. After their walk, fueled by coffee we strolled to the Van Gogh museum – I adore his work and found it such a calming place to be. The true colours of his paintings are also much brighter than …
Day 20 – Pancakes, Park & Culture
Journey: Amsterdam Yay Amsterdam I love you! The pups were cuddling and enjoyed their morning walk. Then we caught the water taxi to the centre to see the Rembrandt exhibition at Rijksmuseum – he really was a true master! So many wonderful things to see. Today has been made extra special by the recommendations given. Mia …
Day 19 – Hmm Amsterdam I’m not sure what to make of you
Journey: Volendam – Amsterdam After an early morning walk we set off for Amsterdam. We were super lucky and found free parking at a cool place near the NDSM center (live music, art collective, warehouses, great food). We then caught the free water taxi to Amsterdam centre. I was really expecting to love Amsterdam but …

Day 18 – Mark hates the Dutch Disneyland
Journey: Haarlem – Hilligom – Zaanse Schans – Edam – Volendam First mission of the day was to get the door fixed. I’d found a motorhome place near Hilligom and they kindly fixed it relatively easily, we then mentioned our tap that had fallen off and realised that the waste water tank had dropped, causing …

Journey: Kinderdijk – Delft – The Hague – Zaandvoort – Haarlem Our natural contraception is working well and we woke up to Ernest’s balls near our faces 😂🙈 It was a wet and windy morning so I lazed about with Mabel in bed until I spotted a chap in the park setting up a fitness class. Typical …

Day 16 – Architecture both old and new
Journey: Kinderdijk – Rotterdam – Kinderdijk What a gorgeous day! Jasper was feeling quite a bit better and is on 6 small meals a day, which means the other two are getting extra sweets so they don’t feel left out #silverliningforthem To give Jasper a rest after a family walk around the town we opted to …
Day 15 – Poorly Baby
Journey: Domburg – Vlissigen – Veere – Delta Works – Kinderdijk (91 miles) When Mark first suggested this idea to campervan around Europe for a year I thought he was both mad and joking… But then said well we would need to do it before the dogs get too old so they can make the …
Day 14 – Traffic jams make for good wee stops
Journey: Opglabbeek – Antwerp – Middleburg – Domburg (97 miles) Had such a lovely nights sleep. In the morning I always ask the hubby what is like outside while I’m half dressed as I have a tendency to be optimistic then add hoody and coat when reality hits home. He said it’s nice but obviously …

Day 13 – Left Mabel in Holland…
Journey: Cologne (Germany) – Drielanderpunkt – Maastricht (Holland) – National Park Hoge Kempen – Opglabbeek (Belgium) (95 miles) Up bright and early, turfed Ernest off the driving seat and headed to the three point where Germany, Belgium and Holland converge. Makes for some fun photos when each dog is in a different country and you …
