Waiting in Athens!! Europe » Greece » Attica » Athens
Just a short one before we pick up Vic from the airport and see Greece!! So after Skopje we headed south to Stobi an ancient Roman city which is still being excavated unfortunately all the mosaics where covered with feet of sand to protect them from the winter weather, Caroline waited in the Duk and pissed and moaned about the rain. (Raining for about 4 days now without stopping). Had to pay extortainate toll road prices of a euro!! As we drove Through the Pelister nature park looking for more churches!! Lake Prespa was fantastic with almost coastal views and the [View Full Entry]

Hi guys - me back. I had to let Scott send the last one as I was in bed poorly sick (Otherwise know as being pathetic). Not with a hangover but with flu...............not man flu but proper flu. I'm still not great,or anywhere near great but I got some tablets today and feel I am on the mend. I think what Scott put sums up the last few weeks. He did fail to mention the ice on the inside of the windows (prob where the flu came from!). Galipoli was amazing, interesting and very moving. I did enjoy Turkey but really [View Full Entry]

Bloody borders Europe » Bulgaria » West » Sofia
Well umm dont know where Caroline left the last one!! Think we just left 2 days of glorious sunshine on the med and headed north (getting sick of Turkey) We first went to see the calcium pools at Pamukkale and so old ruined city the pools could have been fantastic but as water wasnt flowing over the edges it was quite dull. From there to Ephesus another ruined city from way back when Jesus played fullback for Jerusalem....way over priced being a tourist destination and alittle concrete than one would have like and coach parties coming out our ass. So a [View Full Entry]

G'day all, Well we left Lada heaven (Yeravan - every white lada in the world ends up in Yerevan!) we headed to a greek temple that had been restored but was very nice and a monestry complex carved into the mountain in very good condition. We then headed down Debed Gourge which is classed as little Switzerland - which I guess when it is not thick fog it may well ressemble it!. Also the driving in fog is not improved - a gravel road tunnel, thick fog, people still over taking on blind corners!! idiots. (Like being back at work for [View Full Entry]

Hi guys, As you can see we got carried away heading East!......... I also have a correction to make - on the last blog I was spelling Bizaar wrong so I stand corrected - I realised as I looged out. Since my last update we carried on in Turkey. We did a section of the black sea coast and it was amazing (The western half, the eastern half was shit). Mountains, private bays, little villages and forests. The sea looked lovely (although we didnt swim). We stopped at a little town and stayed in a hotel as the campsites are few [View Full Entry]

Hello all. Before I forget again I have to tell you about an incident that happened in Romania - pouring rain and bad roads = big puddles. Scott was driving along having fun splashing water about (Washing dukky), splashing a line of parked cars. He didnt see the poor lady in white trouses stood between the cars until it was too late. I dont know whos face was funnier Scotts, mine or the ladies. We did feel bad!(Once we stopped laughing) Well back to where we left you. After the last update we spent two days up a mountian looking for [View Full Entry]

Sorry it is been a while since the last update and we have had a few adventures. Firstly we went to Bucharest which is really dull. The second largest building in the world is there and worth missing. Also we had a typical travel inccident! I will let Scott tell you the story (please dont laugh at him too much!)... .......Scott is to embarrased. Some guy, an egyptian asked if they use euros here. Scott explained about the Leve and gets his wallet out to show a few notes. At that the guy grabs hold of the money "to look at [View Full Entry]

Hi guys, Well we are still in Romania and getting over a tummy bug. About 5 days ago I started with the squits and tummy cramps and the day after Scott started too. We are still suffering and it is not great when we are wild camping!. We are slowly getting better and can only put it down to the green slim in the water container - so we have got new bottles(scott....I personally think its the beer, so am switching to spirts for abit, will making drivung difficult but caroline will have to learn to pour while moving). Well since [View Full Entry]

Hi All, We have had a great time since I last updated. We left Lake Balaton we went to Budapest (Would have stayed longer but the English bloke we met had cabin fever and wouldnt piss off). Budapest was lovely and easy to get around......in bare feet!. Just got into town and in the old section i.e miles from the shops and my flipflops (thongs to any aussies) broke. Luckily Scott was wearing my shoes - (make of that what you will!)--(Well they are hiking sandals actually)) so he gave me those and he walked in bare feet across the hot [View Full Entry]

Hi guys, I know it has not been long since the last update but as we have free wifi I thought I would offer an update. Well after Vicky left we finally left Brataslavia and went to Vienna again (so Scott can see it sober!). We ate grasshoppers - no we are not on that tight a budget just thought it would be fun to try them at an aussie bar!. After that we travelled along the Danube valley ( a bit like the Rhine but not as steap and not as busy). It is lovely apricot growing country and it [View Full Entry]
