Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom Well, we are back in England – no more problems with not being able to understand what people are saying… oh wait, yes there will – because of all those different accents! But at least we will understand road signs and shopping will be easier! Our first night in the UK…
Calais, France Are you wondering why we caught the ferry from Greece to Italy? I will explain… Our original plan was to drive through Albania and some of the ex-Yugoslav countries to Germany, but because of the snow and cold weather that we had encountered in Greece, and because we had a ferry booked from…
Misano Adriatico, Italy Our first couple of nights in Greece were spent in a place called Alexandroupolis where we had found a campground that was open, which turned out to be a bit of a wonder in Greece, but it gave us the time to have an admin day, catch up on emails, blogs and…
Alexandroúpolis, Greece Well, we managed to get out of Istanbul in one piece, and that was certainly a feat! We are having the usual arguments with the GPS and sadly, that means that MJ has to stay awake to double-check the navigation! For those who know MJ’s habit of sleeping in moving vehicles (car, bus,…
Bursa, Turkey Well, crossing into Turkey was our first border crossing for a while, since leaving UK in fact. We had forgotten how tiresome border crossings could be. When entering Turkey, we had to organise insurance for Oscar, as well as a Vignette for the Motorways, but they are sneaky because when leaving Bulgaria, you…
Harmanli, Bulgaria Originally, we were going to include Romania in the previous Blog, but after spending 6 nights in Romania, we decided that it warranted its own Blog entry. So here goes… When we crossed the border into Romania from Hungary, we were in the north-western corner, which is an incredibly poor agricultural area. We…
Tarnaveni, Romania Until November 1918, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary and parts of Romania were all part of the one entity – the Austro-Hungarian Empire. So, in the Centenary anniversary of the start of the First World War, it seems quite fitting that we had the chance to explore some of these countries – though admittedly, we…
Deutsch Jahrndorf, Austria After looking at the map, we decided to stop overnight on the way to Warsaw and picked the town of Lubawka, just over the Czech-Polish border as our first Polish stop for this leg. In our Stellplatz book, we found a place to stay just outside a town called Lubawka, that was…
Lubawka, Poland We have finally left the countries we are comfortable in and visited our first new country for a while – the Czech Republic. Whilst it isn’t a first visit for MJ, who caused havoc in a drinking tour with Di Sinden in 2008, it was Nick’s first visit. And again, we had the…
Berlin, Germany One of the things that we have enjoyed whilst travelling has been meeting people along the way. Sometimes we only meet them for a short time, like when we are staying in a campground and sometimes, they invite us to visit them as we continue our travels. When we were in Norway, visiting…
