Ronnie and Eunice

Well thats been a quick six months, left Didim today as our visa run out on the 8th November and the car shortly after. Its a long drive to the Turkish border at Ipsala it took us twelve hours until we arrived at the same hotel we had used six months ago. We shortened the route again by taking the ferry from Canakkale to Eceabat. The area around here has a lot of history right up to the ANZAC campaign. Long and not so interesting journey to get here as we were on a mission so we didnt get held at the border due to it being the last day on our visa. Passed through border with not a lot of trouble. Into Greece checked into our hotel in Alexandroupoli knackered. We have done so much ... read more

Hi Folks Set off for Komarna, a small fishing village, 70km north of Dubrovnik in Croatia, where we had booked an apartment for the week startýng 8 May. Left the hotel in Noventa di Piave, outside Venice about 11am and headed for Split for the nýght via Slovenia. Booked a guesthouse with parking for the Kangoo one night. The satnav has given up completely with no maps for Eastern Europe at all. Bought the vignette required for drivýng on Slovenian roads at the border with Italy.

Eventually arrýved at our choosen accommodatýon whých was located ýn Owners house very close to old town Split. This is a very ... read more

Hi folks Finshed of our camping and packed away all the gear, made bringing it all that way worth it. Booked an apartment in Tuscany for a week looks great on web site, based on an Organic farm estate. Owners as part of deal has agreed to supply some of there products for our stay. When we arrived through the biggest thunder storm that we had ever witnessed. Glad we were not camping here as it rained all day. True to their word we were presented with free range eggs, Organic olive oil, Organic wine, home made pasta, Local Honey and home made bread. All were sampled and tasted really great. During our time here we visited Pisa, Florence and Volterra. All were great for different reasons. But my highlight was Volterra. An ancient fully walled ... read more

Hi Folks as you can see back in france weather dry and nice, decided to look at staying in area called Petit Camargue stunning area full of waterways and little islands, cycle routes golf course and all the things that we look for on our travels, perfect. Or so it would seem full of anticipation we even decided to try our hand at camping, bearing in mind we have only ever camped once in the recent past and this left a scar on Eunice and her friend Susan remember the toilets girls. We found a marvelous site and Eunice gave her seal of approval to the toilets as I reflected on life with a beer waiting on her return. Deal was quickly struck, staying for 4 days all in the garden was rosie. Nice man showed ... read more

Hi Folks been missing putting regular updates as internet connections have not been great and also been having to much fun. But here goes hope the memory holds out. Granada was a major disapointment to Eunice and I, we drove from the wonderfull Priego de Cordoba to visit the much hyped Granada full of anticipation. I even got the hotel and destination correct too result. Local transport via Bus to city centre great, As we normally do decided to take the city bus tour paid out tickets and as we would normally do use as transport to visit highlighted points along the way, the only thing that sticks out is the Alhambra. Which is where further disapointment followed we could not get in as we had not pre booked tickets. Tour companies were offering tickets at ... read more
