Decision made, we’re off again. Sometimes, like here in Lychnos, when we are having a wonderful time, it’s difficult to tear ourselves away. But there are still so many things to do and see that we need to push on. When we tell people that we will be travelling...

Day 74-78 : Lychnos, Greece
Talk about a gorgeous drive…..as we made our way to the coastal town of Lychnos from Ioannina, we were treated to these views descending from the top of the mountains. We’re about halfway down our very own mini Transfaragasan in Greece! But finally we were at the bottom and...
Day 73 : Ioannina, Greece
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that count and all it takes is a cup of Greek coffee to make you feel grounded and happy. It has been a bit of a drive around Ioannina today looking for somewhere to lay our heads down for a rest so...
Day 72 : Montenegro & Albania
Have I mentioned that we don’t have any insurance cover for Kaya for these countries? As they’re not in the EU, our existing insurance isn’t valid for them. We’ve debated the issue over a couple of weeks and the choices are (1) backtrack the l-o-n-g way round through Croatia...
Day 69-71 : Dubrovnik, Croatia
I could only describe the weather, as we took our leave from Lovište, as moody. Still beautiful though. We slowly wound our way down to the foot of the peninsular and back onto mainland Croatia with Kaya’s nose pointing ever further south to Dubrovnik. And as we parked up...

Day 56-59 : Šibenik, Croatia
We’re starting to slow down now as we relax into holiday mode. Each stay is becoming a little longer and just that little bit harder to tear ourselves away. We’ve come to the conclusion that we don’t see ourselves as fulltiming in our motorhome (even just for 6 month...
Day 54-55 : Senj, Croatia
Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia have all been in the tight grip of a drought with the last rains seen in May 2017 over 4 months ago whilst at the same time seeing record highs in the summer temperatures. Whilst wonderful for us holidaymakers visiting them, with this double...
Day 51-53 : Klimni, Otok Krk, Croatia
2 reasons to move on today: No more spots available for camping Weather has turned miserable As you know we have been keeping a keen eye on weather and managing to just (only just!) stay ahead of the not-so-great weather. With the clouds closing in and the wind howling,...
