Bruge - Belgium

Klein Strand in Bruge

Let's have a wine

Chilly here

Lake in the park

Sandy beach at the lake


Crossed the channel and drove though three countries in one day to Bruge.  The park here is great with two restaurants and lake to swim or ski in.  Didn't have a chance to get into Bruge town yet, will do so on the way back.  Had some great food and fantastic Belgium beers tonight with dinner.  It's a bit of a challenge driving a right hand drive vehicle on the right side of the road!
Especially at the round abouts or "rotaries" as they call them here.  Diesel over here is about 1.59 euros a litre and we are getting 25 mpg.  Annette and Freda are having a great time.  Tomorrow off to Paris!

Hastings - UK

Hastings Caravan Park Reception

Nice spot amongst the forest

Stayed in Hastings one night, situated near Dover, before our trip to France on the Euro tunnel.  Absolutely  beautiful park with lots of wildlife and ever so quite.  Will be back here for a few days on the way back.  So tired after the 11 hour drive from Edinburgh to Hastings.
The sat nav took us though every back lane one car wide in Hastings!  Very stressful with a vehicle nearly 8 feet wide and 3.5 tonne.
