On the road again

We’re back off on our travels again. This time with our four legged friend Yala (a three year old Romanian rescue).

We’re planning to travel around Scandanavia, but as we’ve given up flying (we had our fair share on our last trip) we’ve driven to Hamburg to pick up the camper.

The camper is called a Couple Cottage from a large hire company called Roadsurfer. It’s quite roomy compared to some we’ve stayed in, but you need that with a dog in tow.

On our way to Hamburg we stopped off in Bruges.

Bruges is a beautiful city with lots of canals and some lovely old architecture.

We stopped in one of the squares for some lunch. Gareth tried the Belgian style rabbit stew and Claire had a very substantial salad.

Gareth also tried a couple of the local beers to help fortify him after a long driving stint and some refreshment from the hot sun.

We stayed the night at a very arty AirBnB in the small town of Tongeren near the Dutch border.
