Canals, boats, travel, Oo-La-La....."Living the Dream"

Follow the Travels of Rob and Marlane aboard their Boat Oo-La-La

Welcome, this website aims to document our travels through words and pictures, the idea being that you can follow our adventures (Rob and Marlane) as we cruise the canals and waterways of England and Europe aboard our narrow boat Oo-La-La. After years of research and investigation of the many canal destinations in England, France, Holland and Belgium we finally decided to start our trip in England, UK. You can see a map of our current area of travels here.

We began our search for the perfect boat to carry us on our journey in August 2001, starting with the aid of the internet and finally hiring a car to visit most of the popular marinas until we found the right boat for us. After sifting through the many types and styles of boats, as well as all the adverts promising canal nervana, we finally found the narrowboat of our dreams, the OO-LA-LA, moved aboard and so began our canal adventure. Fast forward one year and you will find us on the motor boat below...

You can read our entire story as well as view photographs that we have taken to document our travels. Please feel free to drop us an email or sign our guestbook. Don't forget to bookmark this site, our news page will list all the latest additions to the site when you next visit us!
