Dit bericht valt samen met mijn bericht van 26 November "5 Soulmates"


Around 11 am a youngish guy turned up in an old Hanimag camper. 

Michael who is 34 bought the camper 10 years ago. 
It was first registered in 1974 and converted into a camper by its original owner in 1975. 
The man kept the vehicle for 29½ years before selling it to Michael who has travelled to 34 countries in it so far, including the USA & Canada. Michael, who was a furniture maker by trade, had to stop working in 2010 due to illness, joint and muscular problems, and receives a small insurance payout each month, but this allows him to travel, which he has been doing allmost full time for the past 4 years. 
We talked for ages about our travels. 
One of the local fishermen gave Marion two large fish for nothing so we decided to cook and share them. 
It was an enjoyable early evening meal which went down well, sitting all together with some red wine and enjoying the pleasant conversation. 
We had cooked an eaten outside, but by 7:30 it was turning cold so we packed up and returned to our vans to warm up. 
I really enjoyed the day, talking to like minded and experienced full time van dwellers.
Waking up this morning I opened the curtains to a lovely blue sky and sunshine, it wasn't to last as the weather seemed to change by the hour. 
Michael left this morning in his old Hanimag, intending to drive for an hour south, to find a cheap campsite so he could empty his waste tanks and have a shower etc. 
It was nice to have meet him and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.
