The ancient city of Roskilde.

We really liked Roskilde - it's our kind of city. We found a near-empty carpark in the shadow of the Cathedral and pitched up for the night there. First port of call was the Irish pub where Liam could watch the football and have a few pints (not nearly as expensive as people told us …

A Great British breakdown.

The day started out normally enough - we woke up on saturday the 15th of June and decided we had gone long enough without a shower and were gross enough to warrant paying for one. We headed into Odense, found a public pool, paid the grand total of around £7.50, were supplied with a cool …

The sun has shown his face!

Finally, as we are coming to our last few days in Denmark, the sun has decided to come out and make out lives that little bit easier. We've been racing around since Friday doing and seeing all sorts. On Friday, after a depressing morning in Ikea learning that Britain voted out of the EU we …

Denmark – into the wilderness.

We're finally enjoying being out in the countryside and not trailing round cities for the first time in a while- it's safe to say that we're definitely more suited to the outdoors life. I think the van is enjoying it too - it looks stunning in the great outdoors. We're really getting into the wild camping …

Oh Britain, what have we done?

Woke up this morning and dashed to Ikea for the free wifi to be greeted by the very sad news that Britain has voted to leave the EU - a very sad day for my generation. We can only cross our fingers that the outcome isn't as awful as has been predicted. As a country …

It’s grim up north!

Our last night/days in Germany was a bit of an odd one. We woke up at our nice little free camp in Sittensen to beautiful blue skies and sunshine - had breakfast outside for what felt like the first time in forever then packed up and headed for a day seeing the sights in Hamburg …

Germany – lots & lots of rain

We're not actually in Germany any more - we had to get out for fear of being washed away one night with all the torrential rain - we've driven up into Denmark today - But even through the rain we enjoyed the little bit of Northern Germany we visited and will certainly be back after …

Venice of the north…

Back in Ikea again today taking advantage of cheap coffee and free wifi but in Germany this time - we've made it across yet another border. Although I do love Ikea that's not what this post is about, it's about a little village we visited in Holland yesterday called Giethoorn. The jist of this post …

Leiden & Amsterdam

We made it to Amsterdam! A busy day started with getting up and getting showered (all these showers, we're living in luxury again!) and heading into a town called Leiden which is around 25 miles from Amsterdam for a look about. The town is home to the oldest uni in the Netherlands and played a …

First ever trip to Ikea!

Since the weather hasn't been doing its best for us in Holland we needed to find some rainy day activities - it just so happens that I'd never been to Ikea before and as we were heading into the town of Delft we drove past a HUGE one. Can I just say, if it's miserable …
