Quite a big drive today. We set off before 9 and landed just after 3 at Château Marquis de Vauban as suggested by a internet friend. We’ve got a great pitch looking directly onto the vineyard. There are two other brits and a handful of Germans and French here for Christmas Day. One of the…

After a couple of days we got the call that Jones had been dried out, re-sealed and made good. if we’d known it was going to be so quick we’d probably have stayed in Hull. As we hadn’t I set off, solo in the little Citroen loaner. Travelling solo meant no navigator and the loaner…

We left Mikulov heading towards the Slavonic Driftwood Museum. To be honest Driftwood wasn’t our first choice, it was our only choice. There are very few touristing offers in this bit of Czechia. As we drove towards the driftwood centre of inland eastern europe we noticed strange symbols on the Garmin map. 1/1052/A-1 Jane soon…
