The sad view of a car parked in the sea at island Hvar, Croatia.
The part of the street is very dangerous, you come to the city and, if you are not alert, you can end in the sea.

The family with small kids was saved from the car, luckily the water was not deep.

*Our Cali can be seen parked behind the crowd (so I am not to much off topic).

What an awful thing to see. Glad everyone was ok. Weathers looks lovely.
 
Made this a couple of years ago, original photo was from our second camping trip in the van :)

Merry Christmas, peace, love and happy travels.

It was in the summer, the water was warm and luckily not deep.
The exact location, if you enter it in Googlemaps, is:

Hi Rippers, are they the Sportline VW Alloys? 18"? I'm changing my 20" Inovit's to those, and as mine is a white sportline, this picture is what mine will look like :thumb
 
image.jpeg Here is a picture of mine in the car park by the ski lift near Chatel. The perfect height for getting ski boots on and the internal ski holder under the bench seat held 3 sets of skis with ease :)
 
image.jpeg image.jpeg This was the view we had the last two mornings in Oberstdorf weather a bit mixed with rain and snow but the scenery is always great.
 
Herself went to her mothers today leaving me alone with the Cali :D

Shame to waste it! I tootled off to Llyn Brening and found some sun, snow, a lake, RAF jets and the Moon ...

Well, there's the moon anyway :)

and again ...

Llyn Brenig is a great place to visit if you're ever in the area. Walking, cycling, fishing are all catered for; and there is a super cafe in the visitor centre, overlooking the lake view.

Ahh - there's the RAF. I missed the best pic when he flew over the lake upside down.

Great day to have a Cali. It draw quite a few curious looks too, one couple peering in while I was still inside having lunch; they got a shock when they realised someone was inside!

Great pictures looks a lovely place to visit, Cali looks good too.
 
Couldn't get anything as spectacular as the earlier pictures, but this is the best I could do. Tried to get some snowy pictures from Snowdonia this week, but it rained rather than snowed as forecast. This was from just outside Beddgelert. Most of the snow had melted.

And this was from the Cobb last year.

Nice pictures Simon you are obviously enjoying your machine and getting out and about.

Thanks BeachyBird. We have owned the Cali since the end of October, just about when the Indian Summer ended and the monsoons began.
Have spent a week each month in Snowdonia since then. I think it is probably the best vehicle I have ever owned. Even with the tail end of the storm that hit the Lake District rocking the van and the rain lashing down, I was warm and comfortable.
I'm up there again for another week in February, perhaps some snowy pictures this time.

Yes we met you at the lower load meet when you had only just aquired the Cali we had the yellow beach, we try to do at least one trip every month and are throughly enjoying every minute. Look forward to seeing your pics from up and coming trips and keep having fun.
