The Westys are off to Scandinavia👍👍

[WESTY66]

Spain

It’s friendly, diverse, lovely weather, great food, very very good value, nice n sunny, no ferries to pay for, your insured fully comp and no extra to pay.

It’s nearer than Morocco so less mileage, fuel, ferries and I know that’s important to you, no dog shooting or maltreatment of them.

Inland has spectacular villages and scenery, welcoming locals who serve tapas/food and great wine.

Fantastic walks if you’re into that and an absolute brilliant health system if needed.

Woolly hats n big coats not needed lol.

Morroco

Sand and Islam, can’t comment on the food.

Never been to Morocco as it’s a ferry crossing and Val doesn’t do ferries so it’s a never ever country to visit for us, but why would we.

Loads of friends have been and 99% of them go to extend the 90days which doesn’t interest us.

Oh! And it’s full of tight arsed French as well so another reason not to go

So Spain is, for me, the go to country to visit over the winter months.

Ok if you’ve never been I get it Ade, but don’t right Spain off, or Portugal for that matter .

You have very valid points and we are looking forward to Spain and some sun next year
Just need somewhere to book for a few weeks when I know I’m going

It is all that and I agree Al, but… 10 weeks is just not long enough to get away for the full winter, if I could stay in Spain for 6 months then that’s where I’d be….

It is a balls up Gary I agree for those who want to stay longer than 90 days, one of those “things” that didn’t come up when we had the doodah vote back in the day.

We did get the French visa 3 years ago but tbh 90 days is enough so it’s no hardship for us mate to just do the 3mths.

We’re here until early December and already booked the tunnel again for next March so plenty to get our teeth into.

Christmas and New Year with family is a tradition we cannot break, then we can look forward to 2 more March and September 90 day departures again in 2027.

I get it though that 90 is not enough for some and do wish the EU or Brussels or whoever would get this sorted soon, and scrap this new EES crap until it’s sorted properly

I’ll pop in and see you when I go down or come back next spring…

 

[WESTY66]

Well we’ve had a great day today, stayed on a cracking little quirky aire last night close to today’s activities

So today’s activities we’re going to Virum Algpark to see the Moose’s

And to top it off tonight we’re on a free aire at Alde HQ here in Sweden

With free ehu (but I don’t need it)

 

[WESTY66]

So as I’m due a fluid change I thought I’d pop in and ask if they could do it? “Yes we can do it after dinner” so it’s having a fluid change and inspection today at the Alde factory

 

[Riverbankannie]

You say Mrs WESTY66 is looking forward to a warm bath but it looks like she missed the perfect opportunity when you were in Vimmerby!

Yes, it’s great just a pity it’s not hot in winter

 

[Andy1954]

How far did you travel to see sat here in Chouilly France and one turns up - who would have thought

 

[WESTY66]

Well after completing the Alde boiler fluid change and inspection we left Alde at around 3.45pm and headed to Denmark across the Øresund bridge

So we just found a marina to park in, went to pay and the machine is out of order so I’m chancing a free night

 

[Flairy]

Add was it windy evert time we’ve been up there I was glad I wasn’t riding my bike I had to hang on to the wheel as though my life depended on it .

Well blow me down, I forgot to update y’all on yesterdays travels! Yesterday found us in the town of Ringstead Denmark. A nice 6 Moho free aire with free 16a ehu! I didn’t even take a picture of the aire but here are a few of the town.

 

[WESTY66]

So another small travel day today, 81 mls finds us in Faaborg. Lovely quaint little town, in fact it’s probably the nicest town so far on the whole trip, I think we must be getting close to Germany

 

[Fat Albert]

Wow, you have definitely worked on how to remove unwanted Danish citizens from their town. I bow to your impressive computer skills. Enjoying your travels as you post them
