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…

We left Kalimantsi Han early enough to get to the world famous Madara Horseman in time to walk up the hill to it, look at it, walk back down and then get to a supermarket (BILLA in Shumen) in time to buy lunch. Apple promised an hour’s drive but Garmin had a more radical route…

We all slept in, even Flynn which is very unusual. I woke first just in time to miss dawn. Same photo, different hour. And Day. We took Flynn for another walk up the beach, using seek to identify the barrel jellyfish strewn across the beach and several new (to us) species of costal flowers. Rhizostoma…
