Hey Czech it out!Just arrived in our 7th country and been out for a bang on Czech meal, complete with stuffed baby deer in the window. Strange.....We loved Slovenia, beautiful little country. Lake Bled was the most picturesque lake and sooo clear and warm to swim in. Then visited a gorge and a huge cave. It was proper touristy but impressive none the less, it included a 2km train ride under the ground. The capital, Ljubljana was very small but a lovely old town w...

How do everyone. Covered a fair bit of ground since the last update. We're in Slovenia at the moment, listening to the whoops and klaxons of some very excited Dutch holidaymakers. World cup final and all that, I've never seen so much orange!Since Italy we circumnavigated Sicily which was no mean feat. The sat nav kept losing it and the drivers were EVEN WORSE THAN ITALY. Hard to believe but true. There were some nice places but we were a bit disappointed after ...

Went to Pompeii on the first day here, which is suitably impressive but resulted in a very sleepless night. There was the loudest thunder I've ever heard and we w...

Rome sweet Rome! Hehe, when it comes to Rome cheesy quotes are the order of the day (Rome wasn't built in a day you know..). First impressions of Rome were not good, crazy station, dodgy characters, mad roads, massive and busy and seemed like more hassle than it was worth. How wrong we were! It grew on us from day to day. It was the hottest yet, mid 30's most days which did make it harder work but so much good stuff to see. Did The Colliseum, the Forum (best bit ...

So there we were happily driving (well, as happy as driving can be in Italy) through the Tuscan countryside and entering the small town of Montecatini Terme when the clutch stops working. Managed to roll to a parking space and that's where we had to stay because nothing is open on a Sunday. As luck would have it there was a local bar right around the corner selling cheap beer so we buried our heads in the sand and got leathered. Awoke early and started making...
