Yesterday we went into London to see the VE day celebrations. We had a front row view on the Mall of the parade, and after, we walked up the the Mall to the palace to watch the flyby and saw the King on the balcony

Thanks. The train to Budapest was €34 return and €18 return to Bratislava. We saved on petrol and tolls and miles on the van! and we got this food and 2 drinks for only €7 on the train

Bulb fields around Noordwjck

We carried on north to the Netherlands where we stayed in Edam for €30. We walked to the pretty fishing village of Volerdam. We also visited the windmills of Zaanse Schans and then stayed by the bulb fields for €22. We hired bikes, the tulips were only just coming out, but the hyacinths were amazing

Vienna

Budapest

Budapest

Bratislava

We travelled on from Salzburg to a site just outside Vienna. We ended up staying there for 5 nights at €34. We visited Vienna and the next day decided to catch a train to Budapest, rather than drive. We booked a cheap hotel there and stayed the night. Another day, we took the train to Bratislava

We've come to the end of our week in Mayrhofen. The snow has not been the best, due to lots of sun & high temps before we got there, but we had a great time. We are heading further east today, but the weather is not good for the next few days.

We drove into Austria yesterday and are staying Mayrhofen. It was the warmest day so far. I hope the snow is still OK! Austrian campsites are not cheap, but we have not had to pay any motorway tolls to get here

Yesterday we drove down the romantic road to Rothenburg ob der Tauber - a very picturesque walled town. Luckily it's only March and so not busy. This was also the location for the village in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

On Tuesday, we stayed in Würzburg, at the start of the Romantiche Straße. It is customary to enjoy a glass of wine on the old bridge with the locals.

After leaving Cochem on the Mosel, we drove to Burg Eltz, a beautiful castle hidden in a wooded hollow. The castle is not open at the moment. In season, they operate a shuttle bus down to it - we didn't walk all the way as it was a bit of a hill

After crossing over to France yesterday, we drove nearly 300 miles to Cochem in Germany on the river Mosel. The sun was just setting as we arrived, but we've been out for a brisk walk this morning. It's a lovely place

Thanks, the weather looks good all this week - but will have to see after that

We got on the early crossing to Dunkirk this morning. It's a bit foggy, but should be a nice day if it clears. We are now heading to Germany

We've been up to York this week using our free night voucher. It stayed dry, but it's been cold and cloudy. We've got a big trip coming up in a couple of weeks to Austria, so need to get used to the cold

I've been away quite a lot in January. We did a cruise round the Canaries with Marella followed by a family ski holiday in Alpe d'Huez. I'm now at home for a while, so I'm decorating the kitchen

I've quit work and am in Bournemouth ready for a flight to the Canaries tomorrow where we will board the Marella Discovery 2 for a cruise around the Canaries and Madeira

These are the magnets from our travels this year. I have just 3 shifts left to work before I retire and we are busy planning our travels for next year
