Wonderful! Glad to see your blog linked here so we can follow your Sherpa-mounted adventures, BikerWaser.

I've already enjoyed your photos to date and look forward to more of them and the prose to follow.

Happy, safe travels!

Best,

Hi All

just updated my blog if anyone is interested.

Great fotos -- thanks!  Hope your tendon recovers, but if you have to rest and wait, a friend's place in Barca is a pretty good spot to do so. Reminded by your blog, too, that camping in Europe can be very good value.  From your ride around Poole harbour -- loved the photo of Corfe Castle, looming in the mist n all.

Great blog and adventure, reminds me of my own travels except I was managing to stay in cheap hotels in Spain for some of the campsite charges you're encountering - 20 euros!!!  Hope the tendon clears up for you!

Thanks Fred!
yes, i found in France that when i shared an emplacement with a fellow tourer it only cost another 50 cents because of the "tourist tax" so in some places it would be 12 euros 80 for 2 people but for one it was 12 euros 30.
crazy really.

i´ve also found that the star rating means very little. i´ve been in 2 star sites that were great at a 1/4 of the price.
another thing with the 4 star sites is they tended to attract a different sort of person. (i´m trying to be polite).
