About Me

Ive had camper vans since 2020 (yup, lockdown). Travelled mainly in Scotland although a couple of trips to Europe. After getting cancer end of 2023 I decided to retire and travel more. I got my current VW Cali Coast in May 2025 and love it. After some serious MH issues I decided to get away on a long Euro road trip and thats when I thought about starting this blog. Hope you like it. I will hopefully write up here about all of my trips from now on.

One of those days (13/11)

 Up early today to get ready to head to Alicante, nope…nope, my legs were ouchie, this is after my hike up that mountain the other day.  As my various plans included lots of walking up steps etc I decided another rest day was required.

Got up and put on the coffee anyway, made myself some breakfast and then got a visitor…

He was a little cutie, very young and inquisitive.  I gave him a few little bits of ham, he was very pleased but thankfully dint come up into the van (im allergic to cats).  Seemed to work out he was getting nowt else and off he went, probably to the next person with food.

Felt I was going to through the motions a bit and realised this is the first day ive really not been too good since I got to Spain.  I had an assessment appointment for some physiological therapy yesterday, it took a very deep dive into things that impact me.  I thought I was fine after it but probably it just took a while to sink in.
So today has been a drag, i even contemplated coming home but that wouldn’t fix this.  Want to the local shop (on site) and got some nice bread and made a big baguette sandwich, with another coffee, then listened to the rest of my current audible book, was a good ending overall, but unfortunately one id kinda thought was going to happen from about 1/2 way in (I wasnt completely right but not far off), id rather have been completely wrong and been really surprised.

So to try and get myself out of the dead space of oblivion that my head is being I booked myself on a cycling tour of Alicante tomorrow.  Ive never done a cycling tour as I think they look shit but thought WTH, give it a try then you’ve done it.

Thinking an early night, escape this mood and hopefully things have improved by tomorrow.

*I really shouldn’t be complaining, im having a great time and am incredibly lucky.
