B Dobson Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 If anyones motor homing down the Mosel now or any time soon one would imagine the mood might not be too good https://news.sky.com/story/germany-knocked-out-of-world-cup-in-qatar-after-failing-to-qualify-from-group-e-12759796 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtravel Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Nice consolation. Germany has four cup wins, four second and four third places. Apart from the stolen cup you at most wooden medals. And even if some English brands are now German-owned, they continue to have the best motorhomes in the world which it is no coincidence that you too buy.

I don't, some English maybe yes. n 1966 I had just become a teenager, since then I have had a satisfying and quite adventurous life, think I spent time in Muskogee, not far from Tulsa and I remember his RV Park. Then I had to wait 20 years before becoming a motorhomer, which allowed me to travel almost all of Europe and not just France and sunny Spain.

Have you ever thought of putting your travels down in writing, publish a book maybe as you're travels sound fascinating and would be a Motorhome inspiration to many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtravel Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Since 2000 I have written more than forty travel reports. Five Scandinavians, three in Great Britain, two in Ireland, I don't remember how many in Germany, France and Spain. I didn't miss Portugal, the Baltic republics or even Romania. Obviously all in Italian, if someone has no problems with the language I can send them. Obviously for free. Actually, for friends on another forum I made an English version of my last trip to Germany (2020). Anyone interested? Ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware though nude beach travel shots might get the thread moved My reports, at least the last ones, are from 40 to 60 pages and almost all of them are over 12 Megabytes. Translating them is a decidedly tiring and time consuming task. Not much less writing daily minireports. Ask Keith/Daniel for the possibility of attaching a file other than simple pictures and I could publish the German one of which I already have my (poor) English Pdf version.

That's what they'd do on here🤣 Given that as you yourself pointed out, this is a forum for motorhomers, campers and caravans so Brexit should be off topic. . My approach to the UK leaving the European Union has always been neutral. I only asked to understand what benefits this operation has brought to the people of the United Kingdom. You must have missed the question since I haven't gotten any answers so far. Maybe because there aren't any, but I'm confident that sooner or later someone will respond. Returning to the purpose of the forum, I will continue to travel the length and breadth of Europe regardless of the 90/180 day rule. That doesn't even touch me beyond the Channel, I've already seen what I wanted to visit. When the identity card of a European citizen was enough and the ETIAS was not yet in the minds of the respective governments.

At best border controls will just fine and deport you with a marker on your passport. But none of that would dissuade any genuine traveller from posting photos of their recent tour (like Robinhoods excellent mini blog in MM)......assuming they made one of course. When Brian asked where you had been in France your reply was an evasive, "we went to Spain then made our way slowly back through France...".

I guess it depends how you enjoy your holidays, some of us like mtravel need to take pictures to enjoy his holiday, some of us even enjoy taking pictures of Eastern block cop cars. I just enjoy being on holiday, but hey we're all different🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
