Outings from Pogradec It was time to move on from Fushë-Krujë. This involved driving via Tirana with the caravan in tow, yikes! His Lordship did a great job though, keeping his eyes firmly on the road. And using the eyes in the back of his head to pick up on any mad manoeuvres from other drivers. Needless to say, I kept my own eyes tightly shut! Later on though, as the road rose high above Lake Ohrid, I kept my…
A visit to Ulcinj, Montenegro I was totally engrossed in the magnificent scenery on our way from Dubrovnik to Montenegro. It became even more stunning as we progressed southward. What a coastline! I vaguely remember the border crossing, and I did sit up and take notice when, according to Google Maps, we appeared to be in the middle of the Bay of Kotor. Oh, we were on a ferry. Cool! Otherwise, I have a hazy recollection of Her Ladyship freaking…
Outings to Omiš and Makarska The trials and tribulations of our journey are soon forgotten as we settle into our base in Stobreč, just south of Split.

Sure, it’s as…
Plomin and Rabac, Istria, Croatia It was hilarious watching Her Ladyship trying to figure out which shower block was the ladies’ in the campsite in Bojnice in Slovakia. The signage there was hilarious too… I wouldn’t be surprised if our current Croatian campsite has showers for bicycles. It has miniature bathrooms for kids. It even has dog showers, for goodness sake. I wonder if it has seagull showers? What am I saying? Who cares anyway? The main thing is, we…
Podlesok and Levoca, Slovakia We are moving westwards, our next stop being in Podlesok in the High Tatra region. This campsite has got to have one of the best views ever! I feel like I should rechristen the High Tatras the ‘High Hatras’. They wear a hat of clouds each morning, but when they finally peek (or should that be peak?) out from under their wispy headgear, they display their full magnificence to the world. The campsite is located in…
