Another long drive today. Slightly shorter distance but a lot of traffic, roadworks and accidents causing delays. Our goal was Ypres – initially we planned to stay at the aire but it’s miles out of town so we took the very last spot at Urban Camping, 15 minutes from the Menin Gate. The main purpose…

Today was an olde worlde travel daye like they had in the past. We did dome shopping (more new boots!) and some eating but apart from that not much. Except driving. First though was a walk for Flynn around the tree museum we’d parked in Lunch was at Nord See – I think the best…

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…

Travel (and shopping) day – even possibly our first zero touristing day since leaving home. That’s if you don’t count a walk up the opposite side of the valley to get the view back towards the watch tower. At the small lake we’re parked by there are more of the wooden statues. Let’s hope this…

Our second attempt to leave Gursanda Park was slightly more successful. We were on the road before 9am and with one minor exception, nothing was left behind. We made good progress towards Orada our planned stopping place. As we pulled up to a roundabout a massive stone kicked up by a flail at the side…

Sunday stared out very rainy indeed it was quite cold too. Autumn has finally arrived. We decided to make the most of the bad weather by getting some shopping done: booze and dinner successful, green for the bog: unsuccessful. Then drive through the rain. It feels (and is obvious from the map) like we’re on…

We were up and off early today. After I’d had a minor meltdown thinking Garmin were going to get us stuck in a narrow road and then being just abandoned by Apple Maps yesterday, I wanted to be off before the traffic started. I walked Flynn at 6am through the dark streets as traffic whizzed around…
