Trollhattan 28 July

-
Well it was finally time to leave the beach it had been a lovely place to stay and swim and laze about.

We decided against Gothenburg as there were lots of reports of motorhome break ins at the camps there.

So instead we headed inland and it was so different to Denmark. There are masses of massive rocks, hills , lakes and lots of trees. It just confirmed how flat Denmark is.

We stopped at a ruined castle and checked out the great view they must have had although three castles/ Schoss had been built there and all burnt down.

We had lunch by a lake then headed to Trollhattan, the first camp we tried was full so we moved on.


This one had space and is great it is  very disorderly due to the huge rocks every where, basically you find a site but within the trees and not on the rocks and move in.

Had a very long walk to the hydrodam that we will visit tomorrow , apparently at 3pm they let the water go and 300000 ft of water flow per second, quite a sight apparently, so photos tomorrow.

  In NZ it is the 19th August so happy birthday dad. We cycled to Mont st Michel this morning but the tide was still out so didnt take any more photos. 10km cycle ride later we filled the van with water and headed away.  We are now in Bouzouges in a really nice spot with plants all around and only 3 of us here. We went for a walk about the town classes as a Petite ville de France  which I guess means its a cute little village , and it is. We went to the information centre and a really helpful chap gave us guides for Brittany ( where are there now ) and a walking tour of the town. Which we did.   amazing amount of public planting  a rather nice painting putting all the oldest houses in the same street, there are tomatoes and aubergines growing in the garden rather odd things hanging on the side of the church quite an arty town the tour book said these are death masks of men executed in the town an interesting use of old drink bottles, each one has a plant in...

Hi all We are now ready to move. we had planned to settle here and buy a house but have now decided to retire in NZ in a couple of year but before then to do a lot more travel. On our last trip our car blew a head gasket on the autostrada in Italy and we had to scrap it over there, we have had no vehicle for 10 months but really haven't missed it. we commute on the train to work. and take a taxi home from the station if it rains. We have looked at a car staying in hotels, or using our tent or buying a campervan or a motorhome. We looked at every option and went to two camper/motorhome shows. what we  found was that P is too tall to see out the windscreen and too long for the beds...... Until we came across the Hymer, the bed is always made up and drops down from above the drivers seats and the view from the windscreen is panoramic. It looks big but is only 6m long so the same as a long wheel base van and doesn't add extra cost for ferries and the chunnel. It had th...
