THE MOST STRESSFUL DRIVE OF MY LIFE!

This week is a rollercoaster in so many ways! The road to our first park up is as scary as a rollercoaster, but the views make it worthwhile. We leave the mountains early to get medical help for poor Harry. Luckily our final second stop in the middle of Spain is fabulous & free!

    One for the ‘what can we do now!?’ Situations when all else has failed. With your front wheel drive unit, you will get better traction is you reverse up the slope. Engine weight AND weight transfer (rear to front) will give you traction when normal driving fails. Limited situations obviously but may be just enough to get you out of the mire. Bon route mes amis! 👍

    wowzers.....that road!!! Deffo makes you appreciate life when you know at any second you could loose it. Those 18 years motorhoming got you guys through, Steve. Your host sounded amazing. You just dont get that kind of hospitality in the UK sadly. Trust the Europeans to show the UK how it should be done and done brilliantly well. I'm so sad Harry had such a bad time with his ears but absolutely it was the right thing to do to get medical help. I'm glad all worked out. Again, that last parkup!!!! I mean, free parkup AND swimming pool. It makes me feel so angry about the lack of support for leisure vehicles in the UK. Its such short sightedness and local authorities in the UK should take note. If ever we regain free movement in the EU, or we rejoin, you are going to see all the overcharging sites and tourist areas that either over charge or dont support, crashing and burning as they get deserted for a proper welcome and service in Europe. I cant wait to be able to take Viv-i-van to Europe( maybe next year after my knee replacement) Best wishes and respect to the family- Kenny

    A friendly dive master advised me to always wash out my ears after swimming anywhere. In hot climates the sea is often full of plankton and if a swimming pool isnt dosed correctly can be full of bacteria. His advice has kept me free of ear infections. I simply put an unopened bottle of water somewhere where it will get warm (more pleasant than when its cold) and thoroughly wash out each ear. Otomize can be bought online in UK after completing an ear infection consultation.
