planning on going to Norway. nothing concrete yet.

[The Swedish guy]

Just be easy on the gazz or you get a big deep hole in the wallet for speeding besides that, a wonderful landscape but a bit expensive ( damn that oil :lol: ) i just wonder why we set them free back in 1905??

[etc]

bah whats that poll? everyone goes to the mediterranean for the summer! 8)

[mrtn]

mediterranean in summer? normal people go there in september-october, when the temperature is tolerable. :twisted:

[The Swedish guy]

Nah too many oily greek beach playboys trying to score with the blonde babes :lol:
and as Mrtn says: hotter then hell so april-may or sept for me too, besides it takes way toomuch time and money to bring the V to Malta or Cyprus ( and they are stuck in that old english habit of driving on the wrong side of the road :roll: ....)

[etc]

april, may, september - thats all summer, but you dont know that way up north :P

[AoS]

Just coming back from 2 weeks in Italy (Toscana) ... was very nice 8)

[Belar]

We will go (by my Campingcar) to Denmark for a few weeks in beg. July. Think we will do a (very) short trip to Germany also on our way home...

[mrtn]

okay, seems like 20th of July is the date. will go check out Nordkapp.

[dutch-crv]

We will be going to the Czech Republic in August for the first time, after spending the last few holidays in the south of France. Never been there before but looks very nice. (and not as expensive as France)

[mrtn]

it's a great country to go for a holiday (exceptional beer if you are into this). i can also recommend Montenegro (been there) and Croatia (friends go there every now and then).

[The Swedish guy]

Think we will do a (very) short trip to Germany also on our way home..0.

Wonder why?? :lol: :lol: :lol: but you gotta load up the camper HEAVILY to get even on the ferry ticket :twisted: Bare in mind that the Swedish police often WEIGHT heavily loaded cars from germany and i bet you wife would NOT like to be left at Lernacken while you drive home with the beer....

Also most countries (accept sweden strangely..) Mobile handfree is MANDATORY or youll end up paying alot of teh beer money there..

[Belar]

and i bet you wife would NOT like to be left at Lernacken while you drive home with the beer....

Because of the weight I think we skip the beer and take a number of "bag-in-box-wines" instead..

[popwud]

We are staying in England or Scotland......not plucked up the courage to go abroad with the dog yet....although he has his passport and anti-rabies.

[The Swedish guy]

Popwud: So does it count as "going abroad" going to Wales Scotland or NI?? :),

[etc]

buhahaha this poll is ridiculous - most people spending their summer in scandinavia? :shock: :lol:
hey where do you spend your winter then? :wink:

[mrtn]

in scandinavia, of course :)

[popwud]

Popwud: So does it count as "going abroad" going to Wales Scotland or NI?? :),

I think I should have put stay at home.....but we like going up into Scotland.....the thing is we have not been over the sea to anywhere since having the dog....we rarely go to Wales and always Southern Ireland. :)

[etc]

in scandinavia, of course :)
boy did that global warming got you or what :lol:

[mrtn]

[The Swedish guy]
