This week we continue our journey Southwards through the Atlas Mountains, leaving behind the beautiful blue city of Chefchaouen and the monkeys in Azrou Forest. Our next stop... The Sahara Desert, some 650km away.

Our trusty bus handled the Moroccan roads with ease and after arriving safely in Merzouga, we parked up at a beautiful spot by The Sahara Hotel and hung out in the sand dunes.

We decided to take Atlas on a camel trek to visit some Berbers and spend a night sleeping in the desert... this was one of the highlights of our trip and after some great food, drumming circles around the fire and a bit of stargazing we settled into our desert camp for the night.

We woke in the desert to a beautiful sunrise, before returning to our bus... and some interesting news. Morocco had closed its borders...

In this episode we cross the Spanish border for a day trip into Gibraltar... we climb to the top of "The Rock" which has beautiful views in all directions.

From here it's possible to see Gibraltar town, mainland Spain and Morocco... Our next destination.

After a few days relaxing in Spain we take our bus on a short ferry crossing to the North African country of Morocco. We don't have long in Africa (this time) as we have to be back in the UK by April, so the race is on to get to the Sahara Desert...

However we make time to visit Chefchaouen, the "Blue City" on our drive south... and we're glad we did.

In this weeks family travel vlog, we share some of our favourite moments whilst travelling in the Algarve (Southern Portugal).

A highlight of the week was visiting the world famous Benagil Cave... We paddled there early in the morning and experienced the cave all to ourselves... We hired a SUP board to get there, which we felt was totally safe even with our toddler onboard.

Atlas, who is only 3, really enjoyed the adventure... Would you take your three year old paddle-boarding in the sea? Let us know by getting in touch on instagram:

In this episode, we continue our journey South, crossing the Pico de Europa mountains as we make our way down through Spain. The mountain views were stunning and our bus loved every minute of those steep and winding roads.

After an epic 28 hour ferry crossing we got our bus to Spain. It definitely wasn't smooth sailing and we encountered a few problems along the way including sea sickness and almost not being allowed to board.

Living on the bus we've had to downsize our clothes massively. In this video we show you Atlas' minimal winter wardrobe. We're not big on consumerism so are very mindful when buying clothes and tend to buy either handmade, from small independent shops, markets or second hand. Some of the items in this video have been gifted but are marked accordingly. The majority has all been purchased ourselves.

Please do go and check out and support the local businesses we mentioned:

We've had a lot of questions on Instagram (links below) about staying warm this winter whilst living on our bus, so we made a video explaining our heating system.

It got pretty cold whilst we were staying in France for Christmas and New Year (...like below freezing), but thankfully our bus' heating and hot water system kept us feeling cosy the whole time.

We are really grateful to Truma who kindly gifted us some items for our bus renovation - This video focuses on staying warm using the Truma Combi 4e Boiler and iNet control system.

The boiler produces hot water and air blown central heating using gas and electricity, and can be controlled by the on-board controller or via the mobile phone app.

We're looking forward to sharing the rest of our journey with you all soon.
Love Holly, Skinner and Atlas

We wanted to share some of the special moments from our first Christmas living on a bus. We decided to get away from it all and have a minimal, laid back Christmas.

We stayed near "The Elephant" in Fontainebleau Forest, France. Woke up slowly, opened presents, played games, had a lovely Christmas dinner and them went for a walk.

We all had lovely day and hope you did too.

As always, thank you for following our journey - Sending lots of love for the New Year.
