Wet drive to Salzburg this morning with the rain not stopping at all after starting last night. Originally planned to go on a luge this morning but the weather closed the site so decided to make a bigger day than planned in Salzburg. Arrived at the Camping Sud Nord site, parked the van and got…

Today we  stayed on site all day to catch up abit on things before moving on to Salzburg tomorrow. We don’t really stop until we reach Florence next Friday with Vienna, Venice and Verona trips planned. Robert and I took the bus into town this morning to do the food shop while Hannah and Tonya…

Debated alot about whether it was worth the 3 hour train ride to Munich and very glad we did go in the end. We got a Bayern ticket which gives the family unlimited travel on trains, buses, subways and trams in the region for one day for 30€. We arrived in Munich just before midday…

Today we had an early start because we had to catch a bus to this spectacular castle!  It looks like Hogwarts! Neuschwanstein Castle was never finished, what a shame as there was so much more to do. It was built in 1869 by King Ludwig II, what he did accomplish was amazing, however  he died…

A travelling day to the next campsite where we will be for the next 4 nights. Really rough drive down with lots of roadworks and holiday traffic. Seems the area is popular with the Dutch with many NL plates. Stopped on the way just to restock at Aldi this time rather than any sightseeing but…

We headed into the park again on Sunday only 9 hours after leaving. Alot quieter and cooler today but the kids were absolutely relentless in jumping from ride to ride. The park beats Disneyland Paris for rides and their brilliant attention to detail. So much cleaner and cheaper than Disney too. The shower block was…

We are having dinner tonight via  tubes! You order in a screen and I am having spaghetti with meatballs We have been in the park for 12 hours. It closes at midnight!  We have been on loads of roller coasters and my favourite is a really fast wooden one. I loved getting wet on the…

Just a quick note to say that after 21 hours of travelling we have arrived! One long drive through the night to Frankfurt, a shuttle bus, 2 trains and a taxi and we have got the camper van parked up for the night The kids are loving the wide open back seats. Really great little…

Last year we were struggling to decide on where to go for our summer holiday and so started a list that grew and grew into what has now turned out to be our first month long road trip around Europe. We are starting by driving our car via the Eurotunnel to Mannheim in Germany to pick up…
