UK Ireland and Scotland
After we saw Alan take his spitfire flight all four of us drove to friends of theirs: Barry and Rosemary down below London to a place called Uckfield. We spent 3 days there – was very nice. Barry and Rosemary really looked after us. Donna cooked a great meal on our last night – Vegie […]
Happy in Hamburg
And a happy birthday to all you horses yesterday! Lynn and I are sitting in an ICE train, doing at times I guess 200km/h, by the way the scenery whistles past! We’re going from Hamburg to Frankfurt, to then jump on a plane to fly to Halifax, Canada. We’ve been in Hamburg city since Friday […]
Getting To The New World
We’re in Hamburg, having spent the last two days visiting customs, shipping agents and wharves. But now the Toyota is parked on the wharf, awaiting loading today, amongst the brand new twin turbo Mercedes AMG cars etc! It does look a sorry sight, slumped in the car bays, with all the shiny cars – but, […]
Up and Away
The last blog was when we were in Portugal/Spain. We had heaps of time to get to Hamburg, as the Spitfire flight fell over! Wrong. The boss, Carolyn Grace, saw the emails, understood our difficulty in replying in quick time, so ‘added’ an extra spot on the 20th! It’s very hard to reply immediately in […]
Barry and Donna in the UK
Driving to the coast of Calais to catch the train for the tube under the English Channel was an experience in itself. Once on the train (car and all) we only travelled for about 3 mins and we arrived in the UK. Arriving in the UK was a bit like going home, English speaking folks […]

Plans and Portugal
Well, we’re zipping along now. Last notes were after a torrid, exciting, culturally interesting and good time in Morocco. Maroc as they say. During this time we (I), had booked a flight in a twin seat Spitfire, in England, on July 20. Also, during this time, we had booked on the ferry from Hamburg to […]
Italy and Switzerland
Italy has been great while there we visited Pompeii with Sam and Linda another couple we have travelled with, both from NZ. On the way out of Italy we camped alongside Lake Como, what a stunning location. The north of Italy is really nice and mountainous. 3 days ago we headed into Switzerland, this country […]
Of Rocks and Roads and Men
You know, I remember when it was the July 7 1977 (7-7-77), down at Tathra, NSW, with friends, playing up and making promises one could never keep! But back to business. We’re now in Portugal. Camping on a dam. Beautiful. It’s been a mixed day, because I feel like I’ve lost a few members of […]
Morocco or Less Rocko?
I’ve discovered that Morerocks has been inappropriately named, as there are millions and billions and trillions of rocks in Morocco. They DON’T need even one more rock! As Alan’s blog describes, we’ve driven for hours over a small part of the Sahara and also the Anti Atlas mountain area. Both have a beauty and majesty […]
