Off again on our travels in a couple of days... Got the camper packed and just a few things to get for the journey. Living in N.Scotland it isn't easy to get to Europe, so we drive to Newcastle upon Tyne and catch the overnight ferry to Ijmuiden (Amsterdam) and then head south. No firm ideas of where we'll go, but first stop will probably be Dinant in Belgium. This small town was the birthplace of Adolphe Sax who invented the Saxophone. There is a magnificent citadel overlooking the town, and across the river Meuse is the Leffe beer museum. Then probably through Luxembourg and down the Mosel valley into Germany.
We don't pre-book (other than ferry) or bother with Satnavs, 'smart' phones or any technology other than a map. As Mrs.L points out, we've travelled all round the UK, bits of Europe and even across the northern USA using nothing more than a map, so this will be a piece of cake.
Every day a new adventure. Back at end of September.
