Hurray! We’re going back to Croatia. Back to the sea! However… I have to admit it is with more than a slight tinge of sadness that I leave the Czech Republic. This beautiful little country has captured my heart, and let’s just say that if the Oldies ever consider coming here again, I won’t object so strongly next time. In fact, I won’t object at all.

We hit the road again and talk about the blind leading the blind! Her Ladyship, fiddling around with sunglasses, reading glasses and a road map, failed to spot a crucial road sign at a crucial point in the journey.

It’s amazing – every time it rains heavily, the local river turns to chocolate! The Wingless Wonders have finally got their wheels sorted and we’re away!
