We did manage to pull ourselves away from the house for a two day trip into London....a very interesting city. Historic buildings everywhere, tons of pubs, and lots of tourists.

Now that we found the van that will be our home for the next four months we're ready to take off and explore again. Tonight we'll take the Channel tunnel from England to France and start our European adventure.

We will be in Europe Sept. 4-17 - who knows maybe we will run in to each other! We are going to France, Germany, Austria.

Woo hoo! The S wagon! I like it. Now all it needs is a little flower power...and/or maybe some horns on the grill ;0)
We may be in Austria or Germany around the 4th-17th...you should let us know your itinerary.
We will be staying in Ruette, Austria at the Hotel Emberg on Sept 9 & 10 and at the Grunenberg in Menzenschwand, Germany (Black Forest area) Sept. 11-13. the nights before those we will be somewhere in Germany and the nights after will probably be somewhere in Austria (maybe Halstatt). We are staying at the Marriott in Munich Sept. 16 and flying home Sept. 17. If you are anywhere close it would be great to meet - but don't change plans for us. We were wondering, since you bought the van in England, which side is the steering wheel on?

That van looks a little too new for you guys, maybe you should reconsider.

John and Connie - We're not sure of our plans yet, but if we're in the area we'll definitely look you up.
Certainly looks quite a step up from your transport in NZ!!
We are heading to Europe on 19th Sept. I'll send you an e-mail with a rough itinerary to see if there is any chance of meeting up. Dee
i was thinking the same thing about the van! it's positively modern and luxurious. next step is 5 star hotels every night!
