A day of contrasts. There was no sleep me last night. When fitting the new idler pulley at the roadside yesterday, the bolt provided holding the pulley to its aluminium mounting point was really not long enough. It went into the housing only a few threads. I guess with all…
4th of July. 250 years since Independence for Americans. Nothing more positive to be said. No, you can’t say that, as there are millions of amazing Americans, but there are some not so amazing ones too..:) You’ll know what I mean. This morning, after a great sleep, we had the…
Another early departure. 9.15am but made so much easier having breakfast made for us and with no need to pack up the tent and all the bedding. Staying in a hotel has some benefits. The staff though were, dour and humourless. You can certainly feel the Soviet influence even though…
Our journey through Romania has been very interesting. We see modernity growing, beside a historic way of life. The brand new Mercedes Benz passing a horse drawn cart that is unique to Romania and has been its transport since time immemorial. The log houses giving away to more modern and…
Our departure time this morning 9.10am. Must be some sort of record for us. Have conceded that the sun beating on the side of Poki was the motivating factor. While the campsite has beautifully presented and immaculate facilities, it’s close to a main road plus, a wedding was being celebrated…
Another very different day. On the road earlier, by 9.30am would you believe..:) We have a dilemma, of sorts. Take the shortest route to Romania, and we go via Ukraine. I’d love to do that, even if to show a tiny bit of support. But her-indoors has other very different…
This morning we slipped quickly back into our old habitats of getting up late. Waking at 4.30am, chatting for a bit then crashing asleep again till 8.15am with the sun heating up the cabin. On the road bright and early by 10.15am..:) Another day of motorway driving and passing some…
It’s 4.45am on Tuesday 23rd. We retreated to bed by 9pm and sleep for me, is done for the night. Dawn is just breaking through the vents above our heads. Jen is fast asleep still, well she was..:) It’s been another muggy night. The journey so far has been boring.…
A little over a week ago we had temperatures in the mid 30’s and much of our days were spent inside out of the heat. Fast foward and we have 13deg at 4pm on Saturday. Central heating on and watching England play Germany in a colourised replay of the 1966…
Jen has covered the visit to Angkor Wat judged the most popular tourist destination in Asia for 2026. Later in the day, a walk from the hotel down into the local village. We’re looking for a barber for me to get a haircut. It didn’t take long in the chair,…
