Back from the dead?

After 7 years with no activity I was very surprised to find this blog still available to me! It was interesting to remind myself of some of the wonderful places we have visited since we came over here.

I was looking at the blog as it may be time to reopen it. We are currently looking at campervans with a mind to continue our travels around Europe, starting this year.

We kicked some tires at the Birmingham motor-home, campervan and caravan, etc, show twice. The first time looking at motor-homes, the second at campervans. After a huge amount of bickering discussion we have circled around to the idea of a Ford Transit based campervan with extra camping gear as the best for for our needs - not too big for Italian roads, reasonably inexpensive to buy and run, and ready at short notice for stopping or moving. (Ford Transit, by the way, as it was the only cab that allowed me vision out the top of the window!)

So the hunt for a van begins...
