Not so Wicked

Newton Mill Campground, Bath

Newton Mill Campground, Bath

So we have had our campervan for 3 days now.  It is  a Toyota Lucida (Tarago) that has been converted.  It is diesel and has 150,000 on the clock (miles, that is!)  I think we’ll get about 400 miles to a tank, and at ₤50 a tank, that’s not too bad.  The bad is it uses a pint of water a day for the radiator :/ and we’re currently in Bath waiting for a mechanic to change the brake pads and discs.  They had been making some noise since we picked the car up.  We didn’t expect  too much from the vehicle, as it  was fairly cheap to hire, but I think it should be mechanically sound and safe before being hired out.  Probably bad news for Wicked that they hired this campervan, the Monty Python, to a lawyer…

    Hi Guys,
    Sounds like a typical trip overseas. Lots to see and lots of adventure. Your Wicked van sounds just like a boat hahaha. Have a safe trip and be careful in Ireland. Sounds like some people want the “Troubles” to continue.
    By the way, your blog is fantastic and the photos are great. It is being viewed all over the world. Gina loves it and is extremely envious.
    Love Dad and Gina

    Hey Dad,
    Glad you and Gina are enjoying the blog. We’ll be sure to take plenty of photos of Venice especially for Gina! The van is fixed now, and we’ve been touring around the Cotswolds, which are beautiful,and will be even more beautiful in a few weeks time when spring fully hits! Hope your boat is going well, and that Medicare have gotten their act together!
    Lots of love, Leah + Julian
