While I'm writing up our latest tour round Europe, Tommy has been busy putting together this fab film of our trip. So many great memories! This was such a great day out that it deserved a post of its own. The Keltenblitz is an alpine coaster outside Salzburg, where you hurtle down a narrow rail on a plastic sledge for over a kilometre. I went first and flew down. The girls went next then Tommy brought up the rear with his GoPro in hand. The girls were understandably rather cautious, some of the turns are quite tight and it's very unnerving when you can't see the rail ahead, so the video below isn't the fastest version you'll see. But it still gives a great view of this must-do attraction. Enjoy! Salzburg was a city that Tommy and I were really looking forward to seeing. We had been blown away by Innsbruck last year and we expected Salzburg to be just as good.
Once again we find ourselves at the docks in North Shields, awaiting our sailing to the Netherlands. Thankfully there seem to be no delays this time and we've even been upgraded with our cabin - so now we have a window!
Next stop, Europe! I'm still working on the blog for our tour, it's a massive task with loads of photos so you'll need to bear with me. In the meantime, here's a film Tommy made using GoPro footage of our adventures. On Thursday morning, we packed up Hans, settled in the house sitters and set off for Newcastle and our ferry to the Netherlands.
After months of planning, we were finally in heading off on our European tour - 5 weeks of touring and travelling around the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and France. As you can imagine, the level of excitement in the air was high! My biggest worry was that we would be delayed on the road and be late for the ferry, but our journey was problem free and we arrived in plenty time - we were one of the first vehicles to check in. We lined up on the Tarmac and waited our turn to board. Slowly but surely, the campsites are getting booked. Our map is looking a little something like this:
Since the New Year, we have been finalising and tweaking our summer European tour plans. It's blinking hard work! There are so many variables to think about and we're finding that it's best to do our planning little and often.
