Hi there,
My name is Paul Smith. I am a fifty five year old motorhome newbie. We picked our Hymer B754 up in March and spent a month exploring Devon and Cornwall on our maiden voyage.
We live full time on a narrowboat on England's inland waterways. I've lived afloat for six years now. I love the lifestyle, but I don't particularly enjoy short, cold days and towpaths hidden under inches of liquid mud. Our plan is to cruise the waterways in the summer and continue to run the training days which pay the day to day bills. We will join the masses to head to southern Europe for the winter months.
Our second motorhome adventure begins this coming Friday. My fiance is American. She has just spent six months with me but, due to a delay with my divorce paperwork (it's taken six years so far), she had to leave before we could marry. Cynthia is now sunning herself in Avignon. She will catch a train to Calais Frethun. I will arrive in Calais at the Eurotunnel terminal and Friday. I will then try to find her. Is there an easy way for either of us to reach the other?
We are then going to stop briefly in Rotterdam to meet Cynthia's brother. I don't know how motorhome friendly Rotterdam is. Any suggestions where we can park for a night?
After that, we'll drive through Germany to Denmark where we will marry. I'm not familiar with the likely tolls or the system for paying them. Can one of you kind folk enlighten me?
I look forward to the wealth of information which I know will be heading my way shortly.
Paul
