Well we made it to England despite a few setbacks, like delayed planes, trains and automobiles. We stayed our first two nights in Kings Cross, where it looks like the area is being made into a trendy upbeat place. It certainly was buzzing while we were there.
We met up with our niece Lauren in London and spent the day at the Bricklaying markets and tried a variety of scrumptious food which was great. What a glorious sunny day.
On Monday we took the train up to Bridlington and met up with the motorhome owners who had been incredibly kind and trusting to keep it until we arrived here. The motorhome was everything we had expected and is absolutely perfect for our travels. The owners have left in all bedding, crockery, cookware, camp chairs, table etc which is a godsend with us not having to worry about buying everything. We are staying in a b&b in Bridlington at the moment and tomorrow (16/4 Thursday) we are taking our hire car back to Hull and coming back up to Bridlington and picking the campervan up to start our true adventure.
We had hoped to be over in France for Anzac day, but we now think it would be wise to stay in England for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the van as it has a lot of different things that we didn’t learn about when we hired the campervan in NZ last year. Plus we are thinking we want to do a couple of things to the van like a bike rack etc and talk to a Puegot expert about some of the things in the van. I have posted some photos of the van. Next blog once we are officially on the road.
Wow, guys, the van looks awesome, great that you got there safe. Look forwards to being a voyeur on your travels.

Massive. Will enjoy reading out your trip. It’s off to a great start.
Vivki Von and Scot, good to hear from you both. Glad things are working out with the van. It’s still hard to believe that you have actually started this long planned break. We look forward to hearing about your journey when you get moving.

So exited for you both, what a fantastic adventure…..if you are hitting Holland…I have family there …not all can park up a campervan, but some could I think……also have a friend in Prague and Marseille…if you’re in those cities.
