Wow…what a blast this last month has been – I don’t know where time has gone. We have just had an amazing four weeks in the absolutely gorgeous Croatia, island hopping our way from top to bottom…and will have to write these up in installments. I am so far behind on blogs ….sorry about that…but …

I know we said we loved Budapest – but on departure from Szentendre, one missed turn on the satnav saw us plough head long into Central Budapest, traffic and all. I loved having one last look at the beautiful buildings – though the commentary from the driver was slightly different to that on the tourist …
We have just spent a lovely five nights in and around Budapest and have officially declared it our favourite city to date, with Hungary rating very highly as a country overall too! Of course – Budapest is stunningly beautiful with endless architectural delights, thermal baths galore and the delightful Danube, but it also has a …
Leaving the lovely Czech Republic behind, we headed back to Austria for a couple of days, and in the cheesiest of entries, we drove into Vienna with Ultravox blaring ‘ahhh….Vienna’ on the stereo. Made us giggle at least. After popping into a camping store to buy some new levelling chocks (our current chocks cracked under …
We are not quite sure how it happened, but we managed to spend almost all our two weeks in the Czech Republic in the company of Dutch folk. We had a workaway arranged on a Dutch run campsite in South Bohemia (where we had decided to focus all our visit), but we hadn’t appreciated that …
And so are we. We were on a literal high with ten wonderful days up in the Alps – Swiss Alps, Austrian Alps and the German Bavarian Alps. All gorgeous! Let’s start with Heidi’s homeland – Switzerland….the land of milk and honey chocolate….. Given that Switzerland is world famous for producing such high quality chocolate …
Leaving Spain, we flew (in a chitty chitty bang bang way) through France en-route to Switzerland and the Alps. We will be back in France for a little longer in September so this was merely a transit trip. Despite the pace, we managed a few good times, starting with a lovely afternoon / evening in …
The Spanish spice of life just exudes from Barcelona – what a fun city to spend a few days in! Even with Gaudi’s remarkable architecture aside, the bustling city boulevards are lined with beautiful balconied buildings and a walk up La Rambla with its myriad of street artists and vendors is a joy. Add to …
Long time no see……it feels like we have been off line for ages…..and we have. Thanks to some pesky internet thieves hacking our system, nicking one of our email domains, pinching some money and trying very hard to get into every other account we have, we decided to keep a very low profile for a …
After the heraldry of Semana Santa in Seville, it was hard to know if we would be able to top it culturally, but Cordoba and Granada thought they would give it a go – dishing up a superb mix of tight winding alleyways, sun filled squares, terraces for tapas and of course the gorgeous Cordoba …
