Apart from the amazing scenery and interesting cultures we observe and enjoy on our Aussie Bruce Adventures, it is the special friendships we have made along the way that enrich our experiences.
Our first week in the Netherlands has been full of special reunions.
Leaving Bruce in Camping de Weidevogel in Boekel, we cycle into the small town of Erp.
Motoring along, we drive through old villages like Castropol & past evidence of recent bushfires too.
Bev’s phone made this happy video highlights of our day.
Excitedly, we cross the border into the far north of Portugal and Bruce is exhausted after the long drive and happily nestles amongst the trees beside the lush riverside!
We have some exciting news to share with you! After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to announce that Aussie Bruce is coming out of storage for an unforgettable European adventure. Continue reading Get Ready to Travel: Join Aussie Bruce on Our European Adventure
Fast forward three years!
Mark visited Bruce in June 2022, spent two weeks “sprucing Bruce” at Mike and Pinkie’s. Three years of Covid left him feeling unloved. An MOT, service, TLC and all was well again.
Looking forward to starting our 2023 adventure in May. 
We can’t believe it has been ten years since our last visit, celebrating Bev’s big 50th!!! Honfleur is still beautiful and it has to be one of the prettiest tourist destinations / ports. . . . . . where the Seine River (of Paris fame) meets the English Channel. The Vieux Bassin (old Harbour) is lined with 16th – 18th century town houses which have captured the eye of many artists including Monet and Boudin.
They must have heard that we had arrived in Bayeux as the shop windows are colourfully adorned with wonderful messages for us?! . . . . Coincidentally it’s the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy! It was heartwarming to see so many messages of thanks from the French to the Allied Forces for their freedom in 1944.
Another spectacular sunset tonight in Dinard, our last evening here. . . .
Join us on this perfect sunny day as we explore Saint Malo!
