IT'S TIME TO LEAVE

  • In this video, we'll tell you about our crazy escape from the worst floods in 100 years in Italy in our motorhome.
    We had no idea when we arrived by ferry Italy that the weather would turn so bad. But when the rains started pouring and the flooding started, we knew we had to get out of there as quickly as possible.
    Our motorhome was our best friend during our escape - it was able to navigate the dangerous flooded roads and get us to safety quickly. We're so glad we were able to get out in time - and we can't wait to go back and explore all of Italy in style though!

    The free power in Italy is amazing. We found a lot of sostas with free power. We were very impressed with the Italian sostas. Great video... thanks!

    Wow the floods were devastating! Such a shame for the people 😢. Uk really needs to start doing more the same as Europe. We said this while we were in France. No wonder people go overseas. Thanks for sharing 👍

    Great to see you're ok in the floods, we didn't know you needed a plate on the back box so thanks for that, we'll get one for Europe next year 💕 Aires are brilliant, I said to Gary "I'd be worried about splashback on that black waste emptier" and he goes "oh would you babe...sitting in the front seat" 😂😂 never emptying that 🤢 Looking forward to Austria or Germany, lots of love Julia and Gary Xx

    Try a place called Livigno on the Switzerland /Italian border, think the place is called camping pergamont or something. One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in a Motorhome but you have to pay € 20 to get in the place as it’s a tax free haven, derv is well cheaper than the rest of Europe. Regards nick

    We have just traveled over to Crete (holiday home)with our dog & motor home first time ever to travel in motor home
    It took the best part of 6 days
    It was a love/hate experience
    We are wet behind the ears with motor home travel
    I only did because I didn’t want our dog to go into boarding kennels while we are out in Crete
    This is the route we took
    Folkestone to Calais
    Then into Belgium
    Then Luxembourg
    Then back into France (Alsace)
    Across over to Switzerland
    Then drove down the east coast of Italy to get ferry at Brindisi over to Igourenitsa
    Then drove thro Greece to get to Athens for ferry to Heraklion (Crete)
    On both ferries we booked the pet cabin rooms to sleep 4 family members
    The ferries were quite expensive, €900 in total for both
    Has anybody GOT. A better route to take going back from Crete to Folkestone
    I would very much appreciate
    Thanks

      Thank you for your reply
      I do enjoy watching your uploads
      You could say, you both Inspired me to travel with my dog
      I didn't want to put her in broading kennels
      I'm still undecided with my love affair with motor homing
      Flying is much convenient to get to our holiday home in Crete
