Kaliméra Igoumenitsa and Komotini
It didn’t look exactly sunny as we docked in Greece at 8am this morning. As we hadn’t done this part of the journey before, today was the traveling day I […]

Ciao Bologna, Buongiorno Ancona, Ciao Italia
Today marks a step change in our routine. This is the first morning we haven’t needed to lift the beds and prize the cats from their hiding places; claws firmly […]
Au Reviour Strasbourg, Buonasera Bologna
It’s the end of day 2, and we are in a soulless Holiday Inn Express outside Bologna. The novelty of driving endless kilometres with two cats and one husband is […]
Mist and Macchiato in San Marino
Sometimes the main event is not what you suspect. It’s time for another Ryanair weekend. It’s been a while my Budget Carrier friend; how I’ve missed you. This time the […]
10 Days to Go…
10 days to go, and I’ll be in Malta! I’ve booked flights and accommodation in two different parts of the island, and will be there from Saturday to Thursday. A […]
Birthday Travel Planning
I had thought long and hard about being away for my birthday. In the months leading up to N going away, I had been absolutely adamant that I didn’t want […]
Zadar
The day started just like yesterday. The journey is beginning to feel a little like Groundhog Day. Go to sleep, get up, pack, walk to bus station, buy ticket, sit […]
Split
Leaving Dubrovnik was a little sad. It had been the longest time we have stayed in a place on this trip, and been home for four whole nights. However, aeroplanes […]

Dubrovnik
How lovely waking up this morning knowing that we’re not doing anything or going anywhere for the next couple of days. I can’t get over just how beautiful Dubrovnik is, […]
Albania – a long day
Having arrived in Dubrovnik just yesterday by bus from Montenegro, we were about to leave it for Albania through the port by catamaran. We had to meet the bus outside […]
How Fresh* are Your Sheets?
The hostel in Dubrovnik is FAB! Fresh* Sheets ROCKS! The town is another walled city and this time, the hostel is right inside – in the small residential area on […]
Marvellous Montenegro
The hostel in Kotor is costing just €30. For both of us, in a private room. It’s the cheapest of the trip, and is in an annex of someone’s house; […]
Belgrade for a Day
Just 24 little hours in Belgrade. Rubbish planning. We took one of those City Bus Tour things – you know the ones – bright red bus without a lid, ear […]
Serbian Nights
So, Serbia. We flew out of Ljubljana in the evening on the world’s smallest aircraft (I’m sure future travels will prove that this isn’t really so, but it sure felt […]
