Hi Patrick and Susanna, read your discussion on pros and cons of tenting with interest. This year, after a 2023 trip sans tent, we got back into the groove, sort of, doing a bit of a mix. But your points re touring life in a tent are well made and true. I think one other issue with tenting centres on the availability of campgrounds- some countries are not as well endowed as France with their Camping Municipal, which leaves wild tenting, something we haven’t yet been courageous enough to try. Enjoying the journal. Happy touring, Michael.
1 week agoHi Steve. Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot as I really enjoy your writing. Looking forward to your next adventure. It is so soon after you're recent return. Where next?
2 years agoHi Rachel. Thanks. I'm sure you are looking forward to less lumpy terrain. Sue and I remember Wales and England being very punchy.
2 years agoBeautifully written last page. We really enjoyed reading it here on VI, as we finish our plans to take off to Europe again, September 8, so soon after returning!
2 years agoGreat journal ! I look forward to your next one!
2 years agoHi David. Thanks for following along. I'll try to give myself another couple of weeks before the inevitable mental shift into school mode. One day soon, I'll be sad not to experience it. But, not that sad.😉
2 years agoReally enjoyed following your journal and especially loved your photos in the Dolomites. Enjoy the rest of your summer break and don't start thinking about school too soon 😱
2 years agoSure hope so.
2 years agoHi Keith. Thanks for following along. I'm glad I got the tick thing dealt with too. Where's next for you both?
2 years agoReally enjoyed following your ride and reliving some of our memories of that beautiful part of the world. Glad you got that tic dealt with! And what a great idea - a photo for each day in your reflections.
2 years agoHi Kathleen. I would have definitely done the same in Canada, but seeing as we were in Italy, I wouldn't have known where to bring the tick to. Squashing it to smithereens seemed to be best course of action at the time. LOL!
2 years agoHi Mike. Thanks for following along. I'm glad I chose to take antibiotics, even if I may not have needed them.
2 years agoHi Hannah. Thanks for following along. Maybe one day you'll share your cycle adventure with me?

Hi Michael. You're right. You can't beat France for camping availability. I imagine that once we're on a fixed income, the tent will make a comeback. We do miss camping, but staying in hotels is kind of nice too;) Thanks for reading.
