We did not conclude with Off-road- Motorhome services near Frankfurt on Tuesday as expected in my last blog post, as one of the devices we needed for ongoing support had not arrived by courier as expected. We arranged therefore to stay locally at Aschaffenburg until Thursday when it should arrive. The handy stellplatz in AschaffenburgContinue reading “Champagne celebrations – Germany, France”

We left the relatively small Luxembourg City easily enough, straight out to the countryside and made our way east. An unusual blue sky made the fabulous autumn colours in first French Alsace, then Germany even more beautiful. Our first ever day of visiting three countries in one day, passing through the seamless borders of Europe.Continue reading “The road to Austria – France, Germany, Austria”
Krug Off-Road Weekend – Biberach, Germany
We have for 2 years been investigating our future in terms of overlanding travel. We swapped our large and luxurious Niesmann Bischoff Flair 920 for our current Hymer MLT 580 just over a year ago to enable us to get off-road and to move places in mainland Europe. Although we were hoping it could takeContinue reading “Krug Off-Road Weekend – Biberach, Germany”

Monday morning saw us driving further north toward Strasbourg. We had a choice from Colmar, to either go via Strasbourg or the Black Forest.

So, we decided toContinue reading “Into Germany – Strasbourg (France) and Ulm, Germany”
Visiting Hellgeth and taking a Spa – Bad Lobenstein, Germany
We had a leisurely start to the day in Kronach, as we were not due at Hellgeth Engineering for our Unimog tour until 1pm in Wurzbach only 30mins away.

It was my first time “canicrossing”Continue reading “Visiting Hellgeth and taking a Spa – Bad Lobenstein, Germany”

And relax – Schweinfurt, Germany

Lunch eaten unbelievably outdoorsContinue reading “And relax – Schweinfurt, Germany”

Today it started raining as we took Lizzy and Lola out for a walk first thing and has not stopped all day.
