After a month at home after our return from USA we took off for London. A trip where we had nothing booked ahead, just an idea of what we wanted to see. No time frame, just take it as it comes. (You have to when you rely on standby air travel.) We had decided we would hire a "Wicked Van" in the UK. The most economical way to travel, and the right size for us as we wanted to stay on the the country lanes and keep away from the freeways.We realize now that we would never have travelled the lanes we did, had we gone for any campervan that was bigger than the Wicked. People give these vans a hard time, but for us, we enjoyed it immensely. Must say that this sort of travel would not suit everybody. It's definitely not a "luxury" way of travelling but we had a fantastic time and for what money we paid and to think that we had seven weeks away and when you consider the cost of English hotels and B&Bs we came out way on top. Lucky too that we had reasonably good weather.
Two over sixties in a Wicked!!! Daughter tells us they are only for the long-haired and the unwashed but we had a great time,would even consider hiring one to travel Europe.
Naturally, The White Cliffs of Dover were on the list, as last time I was there they were shrouded in mist But not this time.
Stonehenge
Don't you just love the English Country Lanes
Oh so English
