Thought the day may go badly when it began with an incident in the toilet in Stalag 11 (our campsite) in Bratislava. I went to pull the door closed and the handle and all the other door handle bits fell off. Now I was locked in the toilet. I shouted for my wife to help but, as per normal, she was too busy putting on her make up to hear my cries for help. Fortunately, I was able to reach under the toilet door and grab the spindle thing and escape to freedom. ...

Thanks for all the comments so far. Its good to hear from everyone at home. After Prague we stopped overnight in Gmund in Lower Austria, right on the border with Czech Republic. It was just a breather stop and to split our journey between Prague & Bratislava. Arrived at our Bratislavan campsite which resembled more of a concentration camp. However, all was ok and we immediately caught the tram into the town. Essentially Bratislava is a small historic...

The city has become a complete tourist centre (except for the fact that 'Tourist Information' centres shut at weekends?????). Everywhere are souvenirs, art, trinket...

First two notes: 1. This is the first campsite we have had WiFi on (and they only got it 2 weeks ago) so the blogs will be a little spread. 2. It would appear (having taken ages to upload them) that this site does not like portrait style pics and just cuts them off, so apologies. Anyway trip to ramsgate was ok. Stopped off at Canterbury o "kill a priest" (no this is not an euphemism) but it would have cost us £20 to get into the cathedral so we gave it a miss...
