Today we have reached South-England by using the Eurotunnel. The Eurotunnel was expensive but the entry to the train with our truck was exciting. We have chosen campsite for our overnight stay in Lydd.

 

A great experience to travel with the Eurotunnel within our truck.

After leaving Lydd we spend a long time close to the beach of Hastings within our truck because of a traffic jam. In the afternoon we made a break at the Beachy Head Cliffs by Eastbourne. 

 

A great family day at the coast of South-England.

Today we have to bypass the big cities Portsmouth and Southampton by using the motorway. Our lunch break was in Romsey with a beautiful historic centre. We have parked in the front of the hospital directly beside the War memorial park.

 

We felt the mystery because our overnight stop in Salisbury Hillside is very close to Stonehenge.

Stonehenge is due to the road A303 with an amazing view to the standing stones leading normally to a traffic jam. We found a great spot to visiting Stonehenge with our truck. In the west of Stonehenge there was a country road allowing to pass with our truck. This country road lead directly to Stonehenge and we took our lunch with a view to the standing stones. Next stop was Bristol but we was not able to find an parking place because during the summer time the city was full therefore we took an overnight spot outside in Almondsbury.

 

After stonehenge we visited many spots with standing stone across Europe and everytime it is mystic.

Today we still crossed Wales from the South-East to the coast in the West. Again the landscape of Wales is amazing. Everywhere there is wonderful silence. Our lunch break was in Aberystwyth. We spent the most time around the castle. In the front of the castle there was a playground allowing us to discover the castle. In the evening we enjoyed the sunset at the beach of Harlech.

 

An amazing day in the nature of Wales.
