We are finally leaving Continental Europe after nearly a year of road travel. It has been an amazing year, and it has been a bit like a marathon race these past few months to get back here in time with the car. The insurance expires the day after we arrive back at midday. (Our last […]
Before we set out to travel the world, my son and I went through magazines. We cut out pictures and we made a ‘Dream Board’. This was four or five years ago now. We added the places we wanted to visit, and things we wanted to do. Not all managed to get onto the Dream […]
We woke early this morning for our long drive to Paris from the Pyrenees at the top of Spain, near Andorra. We were excited yesterday to be heading to the beautiful center of the “City of Love” where we had visited last year as part of our world trip. Unfortunately, I woke with a really nasty […]

Alkmaar! “The Dutch Cheese City” is in the province called ‘Noord Holland’. It is also where we have decided to base ourselves for our last few days in the Schengen Zone of Europe. And why? because not only is it close to Amsterdam, but it is also one of the most beautiful areas of Holland. […]
