France / Spain / Portugal / Spain / France 2023 - in pictures.

In the beginning........................

Many hours later, our first ever trip in our newly-acquired motorhome saw us settled in the car park of the Royal Oak pub just outside Folkestone. Pricey, but needs must. Food was very good though. Not so the selection of real ales

Next morning, after an AHC scare, time to relax on the train.

First stop in France at Merlimont-Plage. Place was a ghost town.

We did manage to find the only bar that was open though

Paris, anyone? Spot the Champs Elysees? Beginners mistake.....................

A long drive, in foul weather, to the campsite at Bourges, where we stopped for a couple of days.

Thread says 2023? Were you delayed?

Anyway, great pictures, thank you. Enjoy your trip.

I don't do "live" posts of our trips - too busy enjoying myself. Not too hot at on-line dialogue either.
I was cataloguing the pics from our inaugural trip and thought I would post them on here for others to see - there may be places we have been that appeal to others. Thanks for the + comment

Next stop was a very sombre one. Those who have been will know the feeling.................

We had to visit it separately as the kids dogs weren't allowed in. That allowed me to shed a tear or two in private.

Rocamadour.

Cordes-sur-Ciel

Campsite at Albi

Albi - in and around. Albi has 3 Aldi stores. Fact.

This is where we had lunch. Very nice too. Note the "brick" waste bins!

On to Millau for the night.

Lucky for us, it was market day in Millau, so we stocked up with cheap fresh fruit and veg.

Just had to buy something from here............imagine this as a motorhome!

As it was Easter weekend in France, we headed for a campsite outside Toulouse and booked in for 3 nights. A short bus and metro ride later, we were in the city centre.

It's been a long, hot day...........

That’s jogged the memory banks a bit as we have visited most of those places over the years. Thanks for posting.
