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.
