After France we had a few days out to get our Motorhome serviced in The UK. We got to stay in a lovely hotel in Durham with an enormous bed and a bath, things that are absolute luxuries when you've been travelling for 5 months in a Motorhome. As Elddis is at the top of…

Our Last European Hurrah.
The drive from Spain was long but when we reached the Spanish border, we realised we were the lucky ones because lined up waiting to cross the border into France were hundreds upon hundreds of trucks held up due to the petrol strikes.
