Rusty White, a van on tour

Over the next three days we explored Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. To start things off, my human went on a walking tour trough the city with Robin Hood. Or so he says. His other Alias is Ezekiel Bone and when he let's his guard down, he simply is Ade. From Scotland. So much for an English folk hero...                                                                           Carmelo was a bit star-struck Underneath a pub for rockers and bikers Underneath the city lies a network of more than 500 man-made caves, carved into the soft sandstone over centuries, starting as early as the 12th Century.

After having done some exercise, house keeping and breakfasting, we left our wonderful spot at the Karma Eco Camp to head over to Ely, just some 20km down the road. Ely used to be one of the largest Opium producing centers in the UK in the middle ages. Today it is more known for itˋs grand Cathedral from the 12th Century.

Never mind that she had been married twice by that time, she was still canonized after her death.  My human went to check out the Cathedral, the town and the waterways. Which is where she met Wendy. This young 82-year-old lady was out walking her dog and after some talk about the weather invited her back to her home for a cup of tea. After confirming that she was actually serious, quite so, they walked a few minutes to her cottage where indeed they had tea - and cake.
