Sheila
and Paul:
It is
now 5 years since we took early retirement from busy careers respectively as a
Clinical Biochemist and Health Management Consultant.
Our intention was to spend from
early Spring to late
Autumn
each year exploring wider Europe in our VW Camper. By
devoting a concerted 3 months period to each chosen destination,
our objective was to learn all we could about the country and
its people. Travel has
given us the opportunity to pursue our interests: Sheila to study
each country's wild-life and flora, Paul to
understand its history, culture and language, and for us both to
enjoy the pleasures and challenge of living a straightforward
lifestyle in our campervan. Since beginning our peripatetic
lifestyle, we have now completed nine such trips, covering Greece
(twice),
Slovenia, the Pyrenees, Hungary, Alsace-Lorraine, Sicily, Denmark
and Croatia; and the list of potential future venues for our travels
continues to grow.
During our
ventures, we maintain this travelogue web site with regular
on-the-road updates of news and photos, a prime aim being to
share our experiences with fellow-travellers; maintaining
self-imposed editorial deadlines and finding the means of
uploading new material gives further challenges to an already busy schedule.
We hope you will enjoy sharing our ventures via the web site. |
