After a pre-departure Sebo clean-up and filling-up or freshwater tanks, Team Sebo hit the road once again. Having consulted Google Maps for the least twisting way back down (something we should have done before we climbed up here - Roy is still suffering from a single track, windy road, type PTSD condition, I fear!), we … Continue reading Mamma Mia, Team Sebo Hits Italia! Ciao!
Provence To The Riviera – Poles Apart!
We had, possibly, THE most relaxing three days we've had this trip so far at Le Devancon, Peynier. We slept like logs - until quite late in the day, we have to admit, even by our standards-then spent our days walking in the hills and generally lazing around in our deckchairs, making the most of … Continue reading Provence To The Riviera – Poles Apart!

Peace And Tranquillity Reigns In Provence
After all the furore of the previous evening, neither of us had a particularly restful night's sleep - more due to the traffic rumbling over the bridge beside us than from the evening's events. Nonetheless, we arose, breakfasted and set-off for Aix-en-Provence to locate a supermarket and have a spot of lunch. Well, THAT was … Continue reading Peace And Tranquillity Reigns In Provence

From A Low In Zaragoza To A High In The Pyrenees
Our peaceful sleepy spot in Soria proved to be exactly that -yup, we slept like three babies! When we did, finally, awaken, it was to a chilly but sunny day so we decided to take a morning stroll downriver with the intention of then hitting the high viewpoint above the town.

Torrential Rain, Fab Sunset Then Sweltering in 27C…..All In Two Days!
As we sat eating our dinner in our free, L’Hospitalet Pres D’Andorre sleepy spot, raindrops were falling on our head or, rather, on Harley’s head!! Yup, Sebo’s rooflight had sprung a leak! Fortunately, for us, not him, it was falling on him rather than our soft furnishings so he was promptly moved to a place … Continue reading Torrential Rain, Fab Sunset Then Sweltering in 27C…..All In Two Days!

Long sections on top … Continue reading Three Days Of Pleasant High Plains Drifting From Salamanca To Soria
