Aussies do europe

[RStark]

Hi, me and my wife have just shipped our dormobile over from australia for a touring holiday of western europe. Just picked up the bus from southhampton and will be making our way around the uk before heading accross the channel for the bug show and further travels. So if you see a white dormobile with australian plates give us a wave.

If your heading for South Wales I will keep an eye out

Brilliant, keep us posted what you're up to and roughly where you are and don't be shy about asking if you need help with the bus or directions or where is great to go and where to maybe keep going, you can't beat local knowledge I'm off to West Wales from Bristol next week end and it's looking like a peach weather wise. Good luck.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,. And have fun, lots of it. N :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Lots a luck.

Thanks guys, sitting at Holyhead at the moment waiting for the ferry to Dublin. We'll be heading from Dublin to Belfast then across to Scotland - looking at cruising down to the channel tunnel to France then on up to La Bug show.

Very nice looking bus.

Keep us posted with plenty of pics and if you are in need of help you have picked the best place to find it.

That is one sharp looking Dormy you have there. We got a few from Melbourne on here, some living in and around Melbourne and a few living over here. I`m a Broady boy and I think Chris (Aspro) was Hawthorn or maybe Toorak. Keep posting and make us all melt with jealousy.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Enjoy, it just sounds so great!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Wow - fantastic adventure and a fantastic looking bus too - very crisp looking - love the details like the side stripes too. Enjoy!

If you have time take in Donegal and the west coast of Ireland for rugged coastal scenery, or into Antrim to Giant's Causeway, great calling point in N.I.!

Loving the stripes

Out of interest, roughly how much was it to have the van shipped over - and could you leave it full of your stuff?
