We retired early from a professional job. We are living the dream in our caravan going where the road and the sunshine takes us. We work part time for the caravan club leading European tours and inspecting overseas sites. We have been to some amazing places and met some amazing people. We have camped in 30 Countries in the past twelve months-we are running out of Europe! Roll on the next 30 Countries!

Caravan Club Transylvanian Tour- the end!
Well after 43 days and a total of eleven countries we a re finally on our own! Exhausted.com but what an experience! The final night of the Tour was spent at a lovely site Le Quatre Vents just outside Paris. The Club surprised us all yet again and provided us all with a bottle of champagne and a surprise meal in a typical French restaurant. The weather was chilly and there was a lovely log fire burning. The atmosphere was great. I did an end of tour little poem that was very well received and we all had a great night.
The following day people started leaving early. We saw most of them off and headed for Clemont Ferrand. We stayed one night there and moved the following day to LA Nautique at Narbonne. Its a handy little campsite just off the motorway. Its quirky in as much as each pitch has its own toilet block. Unfortunately we didn't have a good nights sleep there as a person in the next caravan decided to drop dead! Poor soul. There for the grace of god..and all that!
Tuesday saw us arriving at good old Vilanova Park near Barcelona. There's something about this site that I really love. We met up with Dave Watson and his lovely wife Anne Marie. Initially they offered me tea but then we thought the better of it....oh dear wine all the way! Lol
We have been allocated a lovely pitch. Through the trees as I was looking at the Med in the distance. The sun continues to shine..,ahh bliuss until the Dutch came along! I think that there is a competition going on between the Spanish and the Dutch as to who can be the most inconsiderate campers! Her sh*t happens! Lol
We also were joined by some Brits opposite and they are causing us great amusement-if they are plum I want to be a sugar plumb fairy! More tomorrow -sun bathing time with the laundry!lol
