After a long campaign, I finally ground down the other half and we bought our first camper van! We've been cycle tourists for a long time, carrying everything (including a small tent) on the bikes - so this is total luxury. Now that we are both retired and lump sums were burning a hole in our pockets, we decided to take the plunge. I've been avidly researching different models and specs for the last two years so I knew exactly what was at the top of the shortlist. Or at least I thought I did..... When we went to the caravan show, we did the usual trekking for miles, lying in every bed etc etc and then finally Diarmid said, "What about this one?" It wasn't on the list so I was a bit dubious. And hey presto - that was the van for us! A bit galling that he did no research whatsoever and then was the one to find the perfect van....
We picked up the van on Friday and are heading off for a couple of days to the Rhinos of Galloway and then on Sunday we head south to pick up the Chunnel on Monday. Let the adventures begin!!!!
