Unfortunately I woke still feeling rubbish, so after a slow start we caught a train into Monaco. The station was very flash looking and it was quite clear walking around the town there was a lot of wealth. We even played a game of “spot the Ferrari”... Read more >

Week 20
The drive to Florence was extremely windy and quite narrow considering we were on the A1. We arrived at camping Michelangelo in Florence at about 11am. At the campground we were treated to a great view of Florence especially the old town (although ... Read more >

We crossed the border into Slovenia and are back in the EU again. We firstly found our campground before driving into town to buy an oil heater and then back to the campground to set up and crank the heater. It was great to have a warm van and we stayed ... Read more >

The next day we crossed the border into Croatia. It was a bit of a nerve wrecking crossing as for the first time we were asked if we had anything to declare. Stating only fruit and vegetables we realised afterwards that we actually were over our alcohol ... Read more >

Finding decent tyres for Dusty proved to be hard work. The first place offered us retreads that James saw cracks in! Then we spent half an hour driving around only to find smaller tyre shops either had no parking space, or only did scooter ... Read more >

BULGARIA | Wednesday, 26 Sep 2012 | Views [484]
Crossing the Bulgarian boarder went fairly smoothly,
