The eastbound trip has been very different from heading west. I am now wondering if the camping areas then were full of CMCA members heading for the rallies and working in a limited time frame.
The free camps have been almost deserted this week. I say 'almost deserted' with relief as I was pleased to have a few blokes around to help start my van yesterday. I am not sure what was wrong but, after trying to jump start my battery which didn't need a jump start, some serious 'man talk' and a heavy foot on the accelerator did the job and I was underway. My rescuers escorted me for a couple of hours, one in front and one behind. I was careful to ask my neighbour last night to check that I got started. No problems, so hopefully all is well.
There is not much free camping around here so I am spending the night at a caravan park. I met up with a solo traveller (but not a Solo) and had dinner together at the bistro just around from the caravan park, and talked until we were the last in the dining room. As we are heading in the same direction, we may coordinate our travel tomorrow.
Welcome to my travel blog
Hello. My name is Monica and I am a silver gypsy, which sounds classier and more interesting than being a grey nomad.This is an ongoing blog which I usually restart when I hit the road again. It is partly a record of my journeys and partly reflections on issues which arise as I travel.
In 2015 my grandson Cory spent a couple of months travelling with me. The link to his blog is in a sidebar. In 2016 Hudson was my travelling companion. Cooper travelled at the end of 2016. They would love feedback on their blogs. Also in the sidebar is a link to my poetry blog.
Please feel free to read all or any of the blogs. I have discovered that some readers have not been able to Follow or Comment. I would still love to hear from you. You can email feedback to silvergypsy1944@gmail.com.
