October 05, 2007 GMT - All good things...
Ahhh, the delights of a villa in the Tuscan countryside, friends, food, wine, beer, a pool, a BBQ, and of course a wedding. A week was spent enjoying the high life and the wedding was beautiful in its simplicity and...
October 05, 2007 GMT - The Fatherland and beyond
From leaving the harrowing Auschwitz and Birkenau, we hit country no. 21 1/2 (thanks Republika Sprska for that one!) and the Czech Republic. Rain, rain and more rain meant fairly miserable riding and a trip to a bike shop for...
September 03, 2007 GMT - Up the Balkans (pics now up!)
Since our last blog we've been having a great time in the Balkans and Central Europe. Bulgaria was very interesting with a lot more horse and carts on the roads, no shops (where do they buy food?!) and of course,...
August 15, 2007 GMT - Turkish Delight (groan)
The Turkish border is quite a thing... jaunty waves abounded from the armed 'kids' on the bridge but then we hit the big guns. Hut 1: Greek farewell dude and a photo of the bike number plate; Hut 2: Friendly...
July 26, 2007 GMT - Tirana tearaways
After a brief spell in Croatia (expensive!) we legged it to the more hardcore countries of Bosnia and Albania. The borders for both were suprisingly easy, the Bosnian one took a few of our hard earned sheckels for (needed!) insurance...
July 09, 2007 GMT - Trouble with tribbles
Phew, what an effort finding internet cafes here! We˙ve been island hopping and volcano watching (yes, we did see smoke coming out of Etna!), firstly to Corsica, a bikers paradise with fantasic scenery, great roads (but a tad `rustic`) and...
June 12, 2007 GMT - A bientot Maroc, bienvenue Europe (encore)
This latest offering sees us out of Morocco and back in the land of supermarkets and toilet roll.... The Atlantic coast is quite different from the rest of Morocco and, to be honest, not that exciting, other than the world's...
June 12, 2007 GMT - OOPS, forgot to put this one up! Please read kids!

May 19, 2007 GMT - Beaucoup de gas
Arrived at the great Erg Chebbi, which is as amazing as everyone says. Needless to say, James and his pal Gunter (on a DR400) did the 40km circuit around the dune on piste (and off, when the bike got dropped!)...
May 06, 2007 GMT - Kif in the Rif
Still heading south to try for the warmth of more Mediterranian climes...First stop Donana for another birding spot and LOTS of sand. Spotted some purple chickens (one for Paul and Jane there), short-toed eagle, glossy ibis (even Imogen thought they...
April 24, 2007 GMT - Camino de Santiago da Compostela
Yes, for some reason we found ourselves on the Camino de Santiago da Compostela, so made that our destination for northern Spain. Yet again, there were snow covered mountains (normally near our campsite!) and one memorable day there was a...
April 11, 2007 GMT - Pie-rats on the run
fleeing owners of our free camping spot and now chillling in the mountains in northern Espana...

Poisson d' avril
April 02, 2007 GMT - In France
Yes, this is our arrival in France …… next move, south!...
March 28, 2007 GMT - On the move
OK, so we managed to finish sorting the house and loaded up the bike. All our smug ideas on how little we have seem to have not quite materialised and the panniers are full to bursting. A wave off from...
March 11, 2007 GMT - It'll be fine...
Our stock reply to any question regarding our trip has been "It'll be fine..."
