Ep 17 - 3 Countries, 5 Days, 3 Campsites and 530 Miles - Chasing the Sun

Hello! In this episode we're nearing the final stretch of our six-month European road trip, heading from Lucca via three short stops to reach Spain. We’re constrained by time and weather now and want to grab the last few sunny weeks in Spain before heading home for Christmas. There are some very tight campsite get-ins – bridges, hills, steep inclines – all sent to test our skills but we prevail – even when our motor movers refuse to play ball at one point! All three places we choose to stop are way more interesting than we thought they’d be – Finale Legure – a beautiful beach on the Italian Riviera, Aix en Provence, an elegant city with beautiful architecture, a relaxed vibe (and a wonderful local cake to try, of course!), and finally, Carcassonne, another stunning walled city (we can’t resist). We’ve been past it on several occasions and never managed to get there so this is a special treat that doesn’t disappoint. Hope you enjoy the episode – we’re loving bringing our adventures to you.
