We had thought about it for so long and now we were actually doing it.
It was exciting, to say the least, to drive off in this luxury vehicle!
The first few days we were learning how everything worked. We also had to learn to slow down, but also to work in harmony, to organise who does what.
For example, Jacco would put out the chairs and table and I would prepare the wine/beer and glasses.
He would set up the outside, the electricity, the awning and the floor mat and I would prepare a light meal or a cup of tea.
Laughing together, accepting each other and having patience are really important and made life in the camper van fun.
We stopped for the night at campsites near the motorway but also chose them for the surrounding beauty.
We would arrive around 4pm.
We would then decide to walk the dog or set up the tables and chairs for a nice glass of chilled wine or a cold beer from our fridge.
We always found ourselves sitting in the sun watching the sun go down, either by the sea or over a vineyard.
We slept like babies in the fresh country air or by the sea and always woke up the next day feeling refreshed and happy, ready for the next adventure.
Our mornings consisted of a leisurely breakfast, sometimes it was possible to have coffee by the sea, watching the waves and the sun rise.
Sometimes breakfast in bed and always with a sense of calm and the sweetness of life.
It took us about 45 minutes to pack up and move on.
Driving in a motorhome is very relaxing for both the driver and the passenger.
You have the feeling of being elevated.
It gives you an excellent view of the beautiful landscape around you.
It is a truly wonderful experience.
