Wednesday 14th October

Yesterday we spent the day in a cool and cloudy Bernkastel-Kues. Been here a few times now so done it to bits. Main reason to come was to take Jonesy to his favourite vets, El Loco. Christian Mark's who didnt fail to deliver with his politely incorrect material about the French, Parker Bowels and some aspects of the German nation hood. Very cheap, 80 euros for worming, booster and rabies vaccines. We didnt have cash but trusted us to return today, which we did. New one for us, set off for Eauzone in Hotton,Belgium. Great campsite, lovely town and temperatures back up to 21c.

Monday 12th October 2026

Nice and snug last night, with the unmetred electric we kept the heating on al night. Woke to temps of 8c but beautiful blue sky's. Great showers with plenty of hot water. Really rate this stellplatz. Not cheap at 34 euros but well positioned for shops and they did offer us a free bus pass. Eventually hit the road just after 9 and got to the stellplatz in Ladenberg just after 1pm. Price 19 euros with metered electric. Been here before, very popular ,was full at 4pm. Temperature rocketed to 17c so walked the 800 metres into town. Really varied with old and new parts. pics of Fussen and Ladenberg stellplatz.

Sunday 11th October

We left peschiera at 8am , we were going nicely until we hit some bad traffic just short of the austrian border. Eventually we got to Fussen around 1.30. A lot colder at around 11c . Walked into Fussen , had a nice coffee and decided to buy a wooly hat. Been here a few times this time we used the motorhome camper stop directly opposite the lidl, the middle one. Really nice 34 euros with 2 shower permits and unmetererd electric. Our wandering around town took us to a few different areas of town

Saturday 10th October. Last day in italy.

Leaving Peschiera del Garda tomorrow and hopefully heading to Germany. The last few days have been a bit overcast at times, temperatures still around 22 to 24c. Lots of sunny spells but we've noticed it getting a lot cooler at nights. Most of the time has been spent cycling, stocking up with wine, relaxing and walking Jonesy. Hoping to get a swim in today. We still eat out overlooking the lake and we got some good shots of the sunset last night. Campsite starting to empty out.

Tuesday 6th October. Happy Birthday Jonesy.

Well it was the big buys 11th birthday today. This last week I've really noticed that he's putting an extra zip into his walks. He's frequently running out in front , does 80 minutes and never seems to want to come back to the motorhome. So today we decided to walk into Peschiera del Garda,60 mins there 60 back. No problem for Jonesy. It was quite hot about 24c As we were returning Jonesy really did think it was his birthday as we bumped into a German couple with a gorgeous Welsh Terrier bitch that they'd acquired from Hungary. They sniffed and kissed and like all good romance stories they soon had to part. Later he took himself into the lake for a paddle.

Saturday 3rd October Pesciera del Garda

Yesterday, Friday 2nd we arrived in Lake Garda and Returned to one of our favourite sites Le Palma. Booked ahead for 6 nights on ACSI. Before the site we went to Aldi and bought 22 bottles of decent quality wine for £45. Temperature 28c. Today Saturday we walked Jonesy for 80 minutes, nice coffee and on return gave Jonesy a treat in the dog shower room. Last night,Friday, we went to watch the sunset and had a drink watching it go slowly down. its livened up on the front with a few new bars each advertising the best location to watch the sunset. The older bars have had facelifts with most offering a good selection of food at good prices. Most now stay open until 2am.

Wednesday 30th Spotorno

Again Spotorno looked quite a decent place .We've now visited about 8 towns along this stretch of coastline and our favourite has got to be Alassio. But here's Spotorno...
