I think the more we travel, the more comfortable we are with teh journey, rather than the destination … A good example was two years ago as we headed north in Norway .. the goal (North Star) was Lofoten … and I was just about to point us on the faster toll roads when someone told me about the coastal road (Kystriksveien) and soon we were on a near 3-week odyssey with some of the most incredible views all around. We also used the opportunity to do a spot of island hopping … As for parking, it;s interesting you say if you see another van you drive on .. perhaps in the wilds we do this, but if we are thinking about parking in a more built up area, we actually perhaps a few more vans around. ‘Sure it’s not 100% failsafe for avoiding a break in .. but we do feel a little more comfortable. Italy was probably the county we felt least safe in from a van perspective (and that;s not even mentioning the drivers) so we often parked in a secure facility, which will costing a bit extra, did give us peace of mind …
You take some pretty pictures too, van friend! I'm jealous of your time in Spain! ❤️
Aw thank you!! I’ll definitely take that, esp considering that I don’t even post my best pics on here .. haha
