Oh no, is it that bad again? I always hated it when we went camping. People are disgusting. I have the feeling that its even worse here in Portugal. Sometimes you really have to be careful to not step into a big fat .... 🤢

Oh that's horrible. They sure don't tell you that in the travel blogs do they? Yeah now everyone is travelling again... The wilder places are better but that's coz there's hardly anyone there.
The Van-Life industry is absolutely booming in europe, I guess thats the main reason why it looks like this in countries like portugal. my brother recently was on the cmt, a outdoor and camping fair in germany and it was massive and crowded...so my guess is its only started
anyway...enjoy your time on beautiful tassie
Oh it makes me laugh. Twenty years ago when you livwd in a vehicle society totally shunned you and thought you were crazy. I suppose we will be joining them when we drive Europe in that T4 VW we did up last time , do you recall? It's still t my mother in law's. Would rather a Defender but cheaper for us this way...
haha true. times changed. now you´re rich if you can afford one of these new vans that easily cost you 6 figures.
Yes, I remember your posts from back then. wasn´t it during peak covid crazyness?
So you planning on doing this still this year? Portugal, Spain, France...? You guys will love it, especially the coast lines and the surf. Try to avoid the summer months in Portugal as it gets crazy...at least down here at the Algarve.
Yeah planning next year, avoiding summer. Picking up where we left due to lockdowns!!! Iceland, Ipsouane in Morocco, Greece are the 3 must do.. we were going to ship Defender but cheaper if we use the van. In the end Jamie's Mum had bought it for us... It was only about 1500 euros at time but she's paid a lot for MOT, fixing rust etc. It'll do. Can't be fussy when we don't have a lot of cash! I don't want to be classed as a vanlifer but that'll be what we will be I suppose. I'm a bit snobby about that 😂😂 as I hate how everyone has been sold and packaged a dream rather than finding it for themselves like we did back in the day. But that's old person talk I suppose. We will find somewhere to hang out for summer rather than travel.
Sounds like a good plan. Watched a surf documentary yesterday, two aussie guys in morocco...the waves there 🤤
I hate it as well and fully agree but it is like it is. I think the worst are the rental ones, they are everywhere...its the same with surf business, it reaches a point where its not fun anymore.
Greece sounds like a perfect spot to hang out in summer.
