If Carlsberg did roads !
A tourist built road high in the Alps, we made it in our 4,100 kg motorhome without having to buy the Go Box and lied when we paid the 33 eurosish to use this toll road. It is slightly more for over 3,500 kgs than under but they didnt check so a money saving lie was...
Entered at this stage as the 3rd of 3 castles paid for, but cant locate photos at the moment.
You could stay here overnight in dedicated motorhome park but think you had to pay. The gardens were superb here and it was less busy than the others making it a lot more relaxing looking round. Will...
One of the 3 castles I paid for and the first one we went to see.
We stayed at the south side of the lake in what appears on a map to be right next to the autobahn but neither of us recollect great noise. The site appeared to be run by a family and it was only 6 euros in 2018. It must have been...
Take a seat, sit down and relax, I am fine, the wife has recovered, put your feet up and please do not repeat this, I have a reputation to hold up.
There are 3 castles that you can buy a multi ticket for so that you can enter and walk round and I paid for them. Not only that but I paid for the...
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, pushbikes existed. We actually had pushbikes, not electric, once and we must have taken them on holiday. Nordlingen is the home of the now deceased Gerd Muller, Der Bomber, the anti hero of 1970 quarter final of the world cup and saw the stadium named...
Big field in a park where you want/can attitude in a wine growing town. They have the biggest wine barrel in the world which could hold 1,700,000 litres of wine but actually hosted a restaurant. It would be 100 litres for every person in the town which is on the wine route. It was not a great...
We were fortunate to stay at Trier during the World Cup when Germany were playing really badly. There was a huge music festival and the town square had a mahoosive tv screen and the festival stopped whilst (from memory) Germany needed a point against Sweden to stay in the competition and were...
If you popped onto this page to see photos of the Technik museum at Speyer which is by all accounts a wonder to behold for engineers and those that like that sort of thing, you will be disappointed because you had to pay to go in, and I dont do that sort of thing !
Nice town with nice cathedral...
This place is in the middle of nowhere and then take the back lane from there.
Big car park that double up as an unofficial aire and there are some full timers in their own self made motorhomes and a whiff of the Nabis might come across occasionally but they were good company and most welcoming...
Its free. It does swing a little bit and the wife is scared of Big Wheels and things like that but no issues here. It does get busy so an early morning job and its a bit of a trek from the village. We went on our bike form Cochem and I rememebr something about Motorhome parking like you have to...
I m going to include Gaggenau here as they are close.
We have stayed at Gaggenau a few times, and I am trying to remember why we didnt on this occasion. It may be they wanted some money for the privilege of having me park in their car park which is a dedicated motorhome stellplatz with access to...
The day before we bought our E bikes !
We were "saddled" with what was meant to be an inspirational purchase of a folding electric tandem.
Brilliant idea as we both went to the same place, it had electric, it folded in half, so we could put it into the garage with the motorbike. What on earth...
Bacharach has an aire right on the river and was not anywhere near full when we arrived and we actually stayed there 3 nights at 9 euros a night.
The town is peaceful enough with sufficient enough shops to keep you happy but we used it as a base for our motorbike to tour round locally.
One of...
Schiltach, free aire with space for about 10 from memory. The town would most certainly be a beau village in france full of half timber houses on a hill and a river confluence to dip in (just about swimmable for depth) where one river was cold and the other warm.
An aire that is well attended. it is full service aire and 11 euros in about 2020.
But there is a therme where you can have a mudbath. Or you can decide not to pay the amount of money they wanted (which was obviously well above the suavecarve budget) and you can do the kids walk in barefoot...
Landy Andy was our informant on this one. He did well.
It was covid times and we were sharing lots of information.
It is 10 euros, however I paid for 2 nights so it must have something about it !!!
The parking is best described as crammed if you go up to the parking area, however we stopped on...
Emmendingen is a "Go to Aire" for us. It was free until Covid and now they charge 7.50 via a machine, but we have never paid so couldnt tell you if it was cash or card as we were there last during covid when they never checked (or if they did come knock on the van you just started coughing til...
The aire at Dorf is up the hill and absolutely blissful and well worthy of getting out of Todtnau area for the P and Q for the night but down to the lake and the Rodenbahl for daytime adrenalin rush.
The aire/stell was full service and I think you filled out an envelope and left your money in a...
Another free aire (from memory) within a park and cycle route along the Danube/Donau with a Fursteiner brewery.
There was an overflow as well and still free.
First photos are of the pleasant flat walk towards the town through a park
The town
Musical statues ?
This is (if i remember...
We got the e tandem out today from Tutlingen and cycled the wrong way down the Danube. Worked it out by flow of river and went in right direction to the sinkhole. 155 days a year the water level means the Danube (or Donau) disappears down this hole. Today was one if the 210 days. It was jus a...

It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...

Intending to travel from around l'Orient down to as far as Ile de Re leaving on the overnight ferry from Newhaven on the night of 27th August.
In my signature you will find a couple of journals from this year, Bavaria and Languedoc, and some previous places I have added retrospectively under...
A collection of noteworthy previous stopovers and/or places we have visited worthy of consideration within France.
Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better sounding than a Jouread which might make me sound a bit...
We havent done a lot of Italy and I am unsure of how many photos we took but created for when we return. We had a friend there and left our van at her place while I flew back for a couple of weeks work
I have already posted about these and created a journal, but the journal was created incorrectly and the map part of things didnt work so Jim destroyed them at my request and am slowly but surely adding them up. Apologies if you have seen them before.

There is a thread of all the disused railway lines we have cycled on our travels on ebikes.

Having done a journal "Languedoc 28 days"

Photos guaranteed, cycling highly likely and highly likely on a voie...
