The Curious Adventures of the Cat in the Camper Van
Our motorhome travelling adventures around the world with a cat called Jigsaw
Heading away from The Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway we headed South West, waterfall hunting, passing some unusual roadside Americana. Rather than breaking ourselves in gently, we arrived at Tallulah Gorge State Park. There are over 1000 State Parks all over the US as well as 61 National Parks. We've always found them to… Continue reading My Name is Tallulah
We had some luck with such good flights to get here but we had even better luck when the weather was against SpaceX. Our first day in Florida and we were able to drive up to Titusville and watch the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket launch, with four astronauts onboard, to the International Space Station. Not… Continue reading Spaceship to Savannah
So having returned from the Nordics mid September we thought we should blog before heading off this time. Sitting at The Ranch, in between trips, watching the coming’s and going’s, we set about making a list of what we’ve been up to and it wasn’t that long so this may be a rare short one!… Continue reading The Inbetweeners, Tytherington, Dallas
We don't have anything against Germany but we didn't have enough time to stay longer than an overnight as we were heading towards Hollands Hook. Primarily a autobahn drive we had the pleasure of the "woosh-mobiles" again, more or less flying past us at ridiculous speeds, for company. It got us talking about how we… Continue reading Daft in Delft, Giddy in Gouda
Meow, Jigsaw here! I’ve had a look at the blogs from the humans Nordic trip and as usual I am not the centre of attention in their writing so I’m feeline the need to correct it. To be honest, it’s not been a bad one for me either. They did a very good job of… Continue reading The Mouse Trap – tails of a travelling cat!
Denmark sits quietly between Sweden, Norway and Germany and to be honest, when we thought about Denmark's identity, we were limited in our terminology. We weren't using the same descriptive words that we had done about its neighbours but having spent a second stint here, (Charismatic Copenhagen) this time in the Jutland region, we realise… Continue reading Denmark, so much more than butter and bacon!
Meandering our way back down to Oslo from Lofoten Islands was a treat for the eyes, even if it was a very long way! We've a load of photos but tried to select some that evoke the vast and diverse array of landscapes, high and low, warm and cold that we travelled through. Different to… Continue reading Norway – North to South
Before the alert that we’d be ok to travel into Norway (must have been the email I sent to their PM) we had continued south to and spent a few hours in Osterund. They have their own Loch monster here, Birger. Based up a series of children’s books written by a local, they have their… Continue reading Welcome to Norway
After the gorgeous time in the wilderness we beatled our way up the long and winding road to the Arctic Circle. It’s a very long drive, it’s currently at 66°33′48.7″ north of the equator, it changes dependent on the earths tilt. I doubt they move the sign though or the gift shop/info centre/cafe! Jigsaw left… Continue reading The Arctic Circle and The Computer Says No
We set off on The Wilderness Road and pretty soon wondered why we’d bothered…. There were hardly any people to watch, no tea rooms with naff souvenirs, no lakeside bistro’s full of noise….. Seriously, it was sublime for the opposite reason. The Wilderness Road is an aptly named 370km loop with numerous places to see… Continue reading The Wilderness Road
