Western Europe

With a week of family visitors in Germany, we stayed nearby Lake Starnberg and had a series of day trips to Salzburg, Munich, Neuschwanstein and Berchtesgarten. With the departure of our visitors we continued westwards via Stuttgart and Luxembourg to pass New Years in the Belgian city of Bruges. From Bruges we’ll follow the French coast south to Mont St Michel and cross to the UK at Cherbourg.

England & Scotland

Landing at Poole, we travelled via Portsmouth to London to complete visa submissions for the US. From here we stayed with family nearby Bristol before heading north to Scotland via Derbyshire and the Lakes District. On return from Ireland we toured the national parks at Snowdon and the Brecon Beacons before delivering Disco to Southampton for transit to the US.

Northern Ireland & Ireland

Having lost a few days due to car issues in Scotland, we crossed from Stanraer to Belfast, and headed west to the Atlantic coast at Donegal before turning south for Oranmore in Galway and then the Dingle Peninsula and Ring of Kerry in the far southwest. From there we ferried back to the UK departing Dublin (via Tiperary) for Holyhead in Wales.
