Motorhome ramblings......

Some of you may wonder what it's like to be away in a Motorhome for such a long time (our trip is 8 weeks), the most common misconception is that we are missing the comforts of home, well generally that is not true we have everything we need in our snug little home - we are never cold, in fact it's so much easier to heat the smaller living space and if we put the heating on it's often a bit too much! We have hot and cold water, toilet, a hot shower and a small but fully equipped kitchen area including microwave. In the evenings after dark and when it's too chilly to sit outside we watch DVD's on our TV, we have brought with us the complete box set of Breaking Bad (Yo Dude!) Our bed is very comfortable but we do get a bit fed up having to make it up every night! Some motorhomes have fixed beds but they are bigger and often you lose a fair amount of your living space. We have a reasonable amount of storage space and we try to keep fairly tidy otherwise you end up living in chaos.
We use the shower block on campsites for our ablutions and they are usually spotlessly clean and I haven't seen a continental toilet for years! I'm not sure about some of the campsite rules and regulations.....

We stay on a site for as long as we can find new places to walk and cycle, often about 3 to 5 nights and we don't spend too much time sitting about on site
We enjoy meeting and talking to the people we meet on the campsites although on this trip we have hardly seen any other English people - where are all the Brits?!
The Croatians are friendly and most speak some English. Over time we've got better at
communicating with people when we don't speak their language and no, I don't just raise my voice in English until they understand me!!! You know what I mean.....
We do miss our friends and family whilst we are away but we try to keep in touch by email, text and WhatsApp, I'm looking forward to getting back for my Knit & Natter group!
Fortunately Keith and I get on well while we're away, probably better than when we're at home, maybe it's because we're away from the day to day stress of life.
We often find things to laugh about, for example, the sharp eyed of you may have noticed that we have a small pop up tent which we use for storage, well the other day when we got home and opened it to get out our loungers, out came a sleepy cat who we had inadvertently trapped in the tent when we went out earlier!!!
We also spend a fair amount of time people watching and I tell you there are some strange ones out there!
What we really enjoy most while we are away is just exploring the local area,wherever we are, on our bikes or on foot, avoiding the tourist 'traps' and seeing how the locals live.

The best moments are finding a good place for a coffee (and hopefully a cake or croissant)

and watch the world go by or having a picnic somewhere out in the countryside....

And finally for a quiz (sorry no prizes for the winner!).........
What flavour yogurt have I just eaten? (It was delicious by the way!)
