Waking up to another rainy day, we decided to enjoy the stormy sea and stay put. The pups weren’t keen to wake up and I can happily lounge in bed with them waiting for a break in the weather, especially when I have a ton of coursework I’m expertly procrastinating over. Beach life When Jaspers …

203 – Ghost towns
Just a quick one today, as its been pouring with rain and we’ve mostly been driving. The highlight was trying out a new running waist spring lead with Ernest. After half a mile of being attached to a bouncing tiger, and being sporadically janked into trees and lampposts he seemed to get the hang of …
188 – 189 Becalmed & Gnomes
It is rare I have just a single photo of my day, but torrential rains took away our lake garda mountain views and bar a quick dog walk and pizza outing we were becalmed in the van. Both Mark and I tried our best to amuse ourselves with a never ending list of books, studies, …
185 – Flooded Venice on a shoestring
I was awake at 5am having dreamt of my venice painting. I’d almost not bought it as I’d never been, but Mark knew how much I liked it and promised to take me (he had actually forgotten this when I mentioned it this morning lol). It was still raining but due to improve by 8am …
184 – Soaked!
It’s sort of crazy how much time it takes to plan trips, routes and what attractions you want to visit. There is so much to see and do, but the weather is turning so we ideally need to head towards Spain soon. We finally decided to focus on northern Italy and save the south for …
181 – Duvet Day
Today wins the record for most idle day. It has poured with rain all day, and we have barely left the van. Mabel with her bladder of steel refused the morning wee walk and lasted 15 hours before conceding she would have to get wet. Even Ernest darted in and out as fast as he …
180 – Beauty behind the clouds
I noticed a week or so ago that people on the camper forums were making their way to Spain…they are affectionately known as snow birds, arriving early November and staying in the warmth until Feb/March. Having realised our original winter destination of Greece is rather cold/wet I’ve been resisting joining the masses in Spain choosing …
167 – Embracing the drizzle in Szeged
Despite a deep clean and half a bottle of febreeze my sofabed still smells funky. The dogs seem to forget then catch a whiff of the puke patch and deep sniff it again. Its literally the only thing I can’t chuck in the washing machine so I will have another go at deep cleaning it …
141 – Ghost games
Another rest day and my voice has come back – my hubby is thrilled 😂 It’s been a soggy grey day so we decided to face the evil task of trying to find new trousers/jeans. We both hate shopping, but have shrunk while travelling so needs must. After a coffee at Yogi’s Eurovea we headed …
119 – Rain…lots of rain
Today has been the perfect weather for ducks and not much else. In fairness though a wet day is always useful for catching up on odd jobs and ticking off the ‘to do’ list. All morning was spent beavering away in bed with travel research, meditation, and odd tasks. We braved the wet in order …
