Cruising and RVing - C'est La Vie!

Our 3rd time cruising the Atlantic Ocean Europe bound was from April 14 to 29, 2012.  Total number of times we crossed the Atlantic was 5 times including the ones USA bound.  This might indicate how much we enjoy cruising, but actually, the last one in April seemed boring already.  We were aboard Navigator of the Seas of the Royal Caribbean International fleet.  We boarded in Fort Lauderdale with several ports of call and got off at Civitavecchia (Rome Port), Italy.

Our home base in Italy is at Gazoldo degli Ippolitti, Mantova, where my niece has built her huge home.  This is also where we left our Fiat Ducato Camper which we bought last year in April, used RVing several countries in Europe for six months and parked to hibernate in autumn and winter last year.

Brenda the Camper is what we call her.  She had been burglarized in hibernation and when we came in April 29, repairs and maintenance routine was done in preparation for our RVing 2012.

So in May 11, 2012 we kicked off with day 1 of our 3rd time RVing in Europe.   We've been to Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and now we are in Romania.  More stories later.
