Home to the pied piper, we found this by default. Conversation one evening, it was raining, again. Keith, isn’t Hamlin in Germany? Jan, not sure. Keith was studying the map looking for places to visit, low and behold, Hamlin, not too far away. So we visited. Related posts No related posts.
Like a lot of large cities it is a mix of ancient and modern where history rubs shoulder with modernity. There is a very relaxed and vibrant street cafe culture and expensive stylish shops. We did the tourist bit but, suspect that with a little more time we could have found some hidden gems. Tivoli gardens, [...]
We are currently on a site at Bad Segeberg, about 25 K from Lubeck. We visited Lubeck on Thursday, the weather was not in our favour. A canal cruise was on the cards, the boats were unable to sail because the water was to high. The naughty shop. It has lots of nice, allegedly, sweets, [...]
€12 a night, this is the best site yet. For that price we get a warm welcome from a helpful owner, electric, the use of an excellent shower, a toilet, a washing up area all well appointed, clean, and a massive pitch. . We have to pay extra to using the washing machine, shame. Related posts No [...]

The site is semi natural, well kept and peaceful. Surounded by woodland and open farmland it can be very relaxing with pleasant walks, popular with dog walkers. We both enjoy laying [...]
We decided to visit Bristol zoo since we were only an hours drive away. It was a trip down memory lane, our last visit was nearly 40 years ago. We both have reservations about keeping wild animals in cages which does not allow them to behave in a natural way. It pleased us to see that [...]

Today, January the 5 th, we left Conil de la Frontera, with some difficulty. Whilst northern Europe as been suffering with ice and snow parts of Spain have been deluged with heavy rain and floods. Thunder storms and rain during the night. The site has terraced pitches of bare earth making them slippery when wet. Tried to drive [...]
