Caravan Decision Made

Well, after our adventure in Iceland and the Faroes we have decided what to do about our travelling vehicles;

1. We loved the freedom to roam that the the 4x4 Touareg gave us
2. We managed to put the single axle caravan in most places a motorhome could go
3. The new Swift Elegance we tested in Iceland is a tough van, has no wood in its construction

So we won't go down the motorhome route, at least for a few years yet, and the decision is:

1. Keep the Touareg
2. Trade in our Searcher for a new Sterling Continental 580 (sister van to the Swift Elegance 580)

So there we have it - we're still caravanners. 

Where to next?

Preparing for Africa

As I sit here watching Chambao on You Tube while I type this, I realise how much we are missing Nerja and our Spanish life...and we won't manage to be there until January. Having said that, after recovering from our Iceland adventure, we've had a great summer reuniting with our three daughters and also managed to get a lot of work done on our house here in the UK.

It's quite dreadful watching Scotland pulling itself apart over the referendum and contemplating the ramifications of either outcome for all of us in the current UK. It's also quite fascinating seeing the power of bluster and passion over reason being played out on TV. How did we get here? (best not share my thoughts on that...) Let's hope that this is not repeated in Spain anytime soon, for Espana has achieved too much in recent years to turn it upside down.

Anyway, preparations for Africa are almost done and we are pumped full of boosters for all kinds of evil diseases so if you want to see what we're up to, it's HERE
