Once again we are out and about traveling! A family wedding has provided the inspiration for a U.K. expedition. Our plan will be to buy a campervan in the three weeks before the date of Chris’s nephew’s wedding, which will take place in Falmouth, Cornwall. If all goes to plan, we’ll live out of the campervan for an additional three months while exploring England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland!
After landing in London, we set about trying to overcome our jet lag. We managed to explore a bit of the area around where we were staying, before moving on to Cardiff. There we searched for a campervan to buy and took in a few local sights as well. Here’s a gallery of pics …
