Yes,the flag is a bit ordinary and didn't see it flying in many places although the Romanian is very obvious and even have a photo coming up.We do feel very fortunate to have a summer that never ends.Another warm one today around 30C while we suss out a trip on the Danube Delta,floods haven't got this far yet.Off to Bucharest tomorrow with the second highest road in Romania on the cards early next week as long as there is no fog!90km of twist and turns,hairpins but a dotted line down the middle and crash barriers too !

European Shower Problems!
Do you have a little Kathmandu travel washing line with you? I seem to recall Cormac fashioning a device for the shower out of the washing line and the suction cups it comes with to hold up the showerhead for a proper shower....

Yes we do have the washing line and yes Gretchen does remember how Cormac had fashioned something as a shower head that hangs but she can't remember how to do it.So instructions please in case we run into them again.

Masters Games Olympics perhaps?
What a great pose brother...must have been the 60+ race at the Olympia Masters Games 2013. Makes for great reading and viewing seeing these famous places from little old NZ!

Yes,it wasn't the best of poses but there were too many people around for a shy Kiwi not to embarrass himself.Was really worth the visit and glad we trekked a bit further south than we intended to.

You use the term 'bridge' very loosely by the looks of that photo there!

Border crossing into Croatia
Obviously the Croatians aren't that particular about who leaves their country, it's all about who is coming in. We spent about 30 minutes in the queue to enter Croatia at the Bihac crossing and a further 20 minutes at the passport control while they examined our wonderful multi-ligual pasport. We believe that once they had differentiated between English and Maori they got the computer working and we were through. The same happened at the Croatian-Hungarian border. This time the Hungarians had a problem. Best crossing was the Slovenian-Croatian crossing heading for Rijeka. We were welcomed with open arms - "Ah Kiwis, Welcome, enjoy your stay".

Bringing back memories
Two years ago we travelled down that aerial roadway on our way to Krk. On the motorway leading to the "off ramp" we spent some considerable time in a traffic jam with outside temperatures in the low 40's and numerous cars parked up with radiators boiling. Seemed like everyone was heading for their holiday accommodation on Krk. What it must have been like before the bridge was build connecting the island to the mainland one can only wonder.

Keep flying the flag!
Well down with Portugal and up with Albania in the flag stakes today-just need a good breeze to get it unfurled now....southerly due later today which should help. Enjoying the read but wondering about the cats question in my last post.

Parents!
I am glad that I am very behind on the blog as it would have made me too worried about you if I had been reading it at the time of posting! Be careful you two! And can you please ditch Vicky and get Serena out? Aside from that, Montenegro looks stunning and have you checked out the road you took on google maps?

Yes,it was the scariest moment of the BBA V1 and 2.We wondered had we plunged with the car over the edge whether we would have ever been found.Vicky is OK 99% of the time but just has theses little problems from time to time.Of course she is there right bang in front of us and easy to see and read whereas Serena needs to be attached to a very sloping windscreen and is a much smaller screen.Don't worry your parents don't take any undue risks.

Cats in Pula
Has Gareth ever visited Pula? Perhaps he could add it to his next motorcycle tour. Sounds like a great place to visit. Should have kept it on our original tour plan.

Oh for a competition A D MDCCLXII R
Good to see you are having lots of exitement in your travels and that your on the hoof planning is going a treat. Those ships and summer sure seem like they are half a world away to us down here as well. Nights are definitely a tad cooler. Now for the Quiz. I am not sure what the R stands for but it looks like the stone was laid during the year 1762 AD. What about a bottle of Niksicko for a prize. Keep on having fun The Goodricks

Romania flag time
Didn't have a Bulgarian flag to fly but it is quite a boring looking one by the look of it. However will now hoist the Romanian one which we have from Rugby World Cup days-red, yellow and blue from memory! Grey weather and dark by 5pm here though not so cold. It is lovely to see sunshine and read about the tropical temperatures and drawn out evenings...
