Short introduce-myself 

Hello Steemers  

My name is Marco Cortesi. I'm born in Glarus - Switzerland. I'm 38 years old and lives in the tropical Phuket Iseland in Thailand. Here I share with you an unforgettable trip in 2010 with a luxury Mobilehome  through Eupopa. Sorry about my Bad english. I hope you enjoy...  

The trip started in Flums, Switzerland

 

We did not know where we go into the holiday.A friend we had experienced that in Benidorm the sea should be especially beautiful. we craved sun sand and sea. Gabi my father Roberto and I decided to take a trip with the camper. From Flums in Switzerland, we started our journey towards Spain.  

To the French border, we stay on the highway. we slept on the go at a rest stop somewhere on the Spanish highway. well that we always had everything with us. The Motor-home can endure five days easily without electricity and water. 

The ATV were us always a great help to find a suitable place to sleep. 

Our strategy. 1. Parking Mobile Home 2. ATV down from the trailer 3. Search for Camping pitch 4. Get Camper and build a camp for the night.

This strategy was just right for a vehicle in this length and wide   

Arrived in Benidorm

We had delicious food and a perfect Camp - were more than happy.

We are now delighted to making a tour whit the ATVs -  shopping and exploring the region.  

Safari Park Altana 

On one of our tours to the mountains in Benidorm, we found a safari park.. We had great luck. The park was actually closed but had a staff compassionate with us and made us a private tour. Loads of animals roaming freely - great place and an unforgettable experience. https://www.animalsafari.com

No toilet on the way

The Park-Ranger - Joseph

Impressive as the tiger roared. We just hoped that holds the mesh fence.

In Monaco, it was very difficult to find a parking space. we found next to the car park for the Formula 1 Trucks a place for a night. 

Roberto never lost his humour

narrow streets, I recommend only good riders with this kind of vehicle.

We could go with the ATVs  on the Complete race trek but whit normal street rules .
