Hi, I am new to this forum (obviously!) I bought a small van, Nissan delivery, that has been converted into the smallest MH in the world. My daughter (15) and I will be travelling to the szegit festival in budapest. Arriving in Cherbourg on the 14 July and back to Ireland on the 24 August.
So far we have the loosest of itineraries, mostly we have just decided what countries we plan to travel through...france, switzerland, austria, italy, slovenia, croatia and then back to Budapest, the festival is the 8-16 of August and then we have about a week to drive home. Any advice anyone has to offer for us newbies, would be greatfully received. I am hoping to combine a bit of wilding, aires (just learned about them today from reading this website!) and regular campsites.
I am a lecturer by profession, so it makes things a lot easier in terms of holidays, plenty of time to meander through europe, we are going to stay off motorways as much as we can and take the back roads, see the little villages, we are not worried about ticking off all the big tourist sites, we just want to get a feel for the country, meet some of the people and sit in the sun and watch the world go by.
If any of you are likely to be on the road, look out for our van, its a little white one with a winged heart tattooed on the front, she is called rosita the wonder van...nothing like a bit of whimsy to make me smile..there is a little detail about her here.. my tiny exterior/interior decorating project, smallest RV in the world - HOME SWEET HOME (hope its Ok to post a link to another forum)
as you can see..small!..but big enough to have an extra cuppa for you, should you meet us on the way.
