Must see places on our route
Today I decided that a European road trip would not be complete without a visit to the Giger museum and bar based in the small Swiss town of Gruyères.

130 Days till departure day
OK so we have an unofficial countdown, today is 130 days until July and that is when all hands are on deck to quit our jobs and finalise the plans for our European adventure.
We aim to set off on the 15th July with just each other, our motorhome, a minimal amount of clothes and a rough guide of which towns, festivals and beeches to visit.
There is still so much to do in just four months. We currently have a half completed van conversion that seems to throw new challenges our way every day, our most recent worry is that Tron, our LDV, had decided not to turn on.
We are a bit stressed to say the least, with things not running as smoothly as planned, but the thought of having nothing to worry about apart from which beech to wake up next to, makes me so happy.
Andy is such a trooper, his latest task is 'project electrics' which seems to be consuming most of his thoughts, although if he electrocutes himself one more time he may not have any braincells left.
I am ICO travel arrangements and cleaning, so to keep myself busy I decided to burden myself with the important task of testing the strength of the roof rack... by sunbathing on it.
