And what a fantastic, highly recommended thread by the ‘travel gurus’ - a great story and adventure with some beautiful photos.

Nice one @cliffandger

It is a brilliant layout, but an all too rare van. I think they got the layout and build just right, then stopped building them!

Hope you find a good one soon.

I have...
2 cups of tea and read the blog in one hit.
What a fantastic blog Gerri, really enjoyed reading it and love your writing style. Your pen is mighty talented, perhaps you should write a ‘travel’ book ??
Shame all the washing displays in Croatia spoilt your photos!!
Oh and ‘stuffed frogs’ how very weird but I have added it to my bucket list of things to see!

Hope you are both well and enjoying your travels in the big beast.

Hi Wendy, glad you enjoyed that one - there are others - one of our Italian Trip and a couple we shared with the @Mousy s, which are equally informative.....

We are off to Beni this Friday, the first trip away in The Beast, (if you don't count a hair raising trip to Van Bitz in Taunton where we got massively lost and Cliff was reversing up single track country lanes in the dark - 'ee was not appy'!)

Looking forward to your travel blogs too!

Hi Geraldine, have I missed the unveiling of your new van...? What did you get..?

 

[cliffanger]

It was a very stressful transaction, so we haven't felt much like celebrating Gary, but we are now loading the van and setting off for Beni on Friday. This is The Beast......

A Starline B690 - bigger than our 564 but with considerably less inside storage space..... I have yet to find a space for the 10 towels, 2 spare sets of bedding, 5 coats, 6 pairs of jeans, 8 jumpers, 6 pairs of shoes/ flip flops/walking boots, not to mention the 10 shower gels, 15 deodorants, 4 washing up liquids, and assorted atlases, walking maps, CDs, iPod c/w speakers, etc etc etc, that I took out of the 564 .... Happy Packing @In the Pink Wendy!

OMG
Consider changing your plans and divert to a nudist colony, you won’t need any clothes and that will save on packing !!!
Keep calm and enjoy your trip @ cliffandger
Look forward to your next blog
‘cliff and Gerri go naked’ !!!

Same front as mine which i consider ugly but I’m very happy with my b544 although I’d like it to be a merc like yours..
But again, I’m beginning to love it..

My last trip this autumn for 3mths in Portugal and Spain I really cut down on clothes but still didn’t use them all ....

I took loads of deodorants too but for the rest they do have shops and laundry’s out there...

I could at least cut down by half again and still probably be ok but now Sue is coming back it’ll all fill up again..

We’re looking at Poland for our next big trip but after she’s settled back in again at the end of the month we may pop down to Altea for a month..

Hope your trip goes well.... how long are you out for..?

I never wear half of what I pack either, but you never know do you - and while I had the wardrobe space, I filled it!

So happy for you and Sue - may you have many many happy times together. Never thought of Poland as a destination so would be interested to hear of your experiences. We are in Beni until 1st March, after which we will probably take a slow meander home.

That blog will never appear Wendy! Naturists we ain't!

I'm the person doing contortions on the beach trying to get changed under the beach towel whilst gripping the two ends with my teeth!

What about Cliffs stuff Geraldine.
One question, did Cliff put the extra locks on the locker doors?

 

[cliffanger]

@daveandsan His stuff could fit into the cubby hole under the step!

No the extra locks (on every hatch, locker door and both hab and passenger doors) were already fitted when we bought it.

Hope you’re both well and look forward to catching up in 2019 - don’t you fancy joining us in Beni ...?

Just caught up with this thread, congratulations on the van change, does look a bit bigger and a garage, Cliff must be made up.

Enjoy Beni, we popped in briefly in Nov our first time there.
