Thanks again for al the advice. I have been doing euro trips since 2008 and Steph since 2010.
So far we have done most of western Europe and I have done Poland , Slovakia and Hungry on a bike, together we have done Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, some of Holland, Austria, Top part of Italy, Slovenia ( which we love been there 5 times ) and we fancy going a little further.
Rough Plan is ferry to Spain and Portugal ( as you suggest, did you read our minds), setting off in March2019 and slowly working our way upto the Nordkap end of June beginning of July, from there into Russia the stans and possibly China, our aim is to make it to Japan, its a country we have always wanted to visit.
After that its all a bit vague, Thailand and Vietnam and then Australia.
If that sounds like a wish list to the more well travelled, well we suppose it is.
I will be 50 and Steph 49 when we leave and if we don't go then we never will.
Thanks again for all the tips and help so far.
