We woke up in good time and said goodbye to Le Mans on a dull, damp and overcast morning. At least the road South was fairly traffic free which was just as well because it soon started to rain which just got heavier and heavier. I was looking for fuel and at the services said…
Monday 4 June 2018 and we actually managed to be packed and ready to go on time, this is unusual. Quite a nice day for a gentle drive down to the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone, in fact we got there in such good time we were able to catch a Shuttle an hour ahead of…
Thursday 8 March 2018 A bit of culture and a lot of food… Firstly my apologies for the delay in getting this posted but our journey home was a nightmare (see next post) and there’s been a lot of rugby that needed to be watched since we got home. Anyway… Second full day had been…
Wednesday 7 March 2018 We wake up to our first day in Lisbon and the sun is shining as we look out from the Hotel Marquês de Pombal and we get our first sight of the city waking up and it looks like it’s going to be a nice day. After a perfectly acceptable breakfast…
Tuesday 6 March 2018 On easyJet and things… After a number of years suggesting it I have finally persuaded Mrs Sixwheeler to take a short trip to Lisbon. I’ve always heard good things about the city but had never even been to Portugal. Anyway today’s the day. Bristol Airport is a nice enough place of…
When I looked out of the window overnight it had stopped raining and when we woke up this morning it was still dry so we nipped into town for breakfast. We’ve been doing this because the otherwise excellent Hotel Kregenn has the brass neck to demand €13 per person for breakfast, so they know where…
As it’s been raining steadily since about one-thirty this morning we indulged in a late breakfast in the hotel. And as it was showing no sign of letting up we decided to go for a drive. We headed towards the town of Crozon which sits on a peninsula opposite the port of Brest and our…
It’s a gorgeous hot and sunny day so we’re off to discover some of the delights if southern Finisterre. After breakfast obviously which today was enjoyed in the sunshine if Cathedral Square. Our first port of call is just that, the port town of Concarneau which is the third most important fishing port in France.…
Mrs. Sixwheeler and I are on holiday. Some of you may recognise this classic sunset photograph of the Venice lagoon, but it is actually Portsmouth harbour as we sit on the Brittany Ferries ship Bretagne waiting for our overnight crossing to St Malo… …which went very well apart from my forgetting the hour difference between…
We begin our journey home. Collected from The Tigress Hotel at 06h15 we bumped our way down the dirt track for the last time, at least this time in a car with working lights so we could see the potholes. We have a short drive from Ranthambore to the railway station at Sawai Madhopur where…
