Kutna Hora

Uh, yeah. This is what you think it is. We are soooo strange when we turn tourist for a day. We used to live here in Czech Republic before so we knew what Kutna Hora was. With TJs bone fascination we couldn’t just drive past the bone church without dropping in. We got in the […]

Gabi’s Budapest

Arrived in Budapest. Hanging with our friend Gabi. We LOVE Gabi. She gave us  the “Gabi Tour” of Budapest which includes all the best Jewish sites and history. We paused at the entrance to the Synagogue entrance where the 60,000 Jews were gathered before being sent to Auschwitz. We walked thru the streets that were […]

Hungary

We tried to stop in Serbia, honestly we did. We tried to stop in Nis and see the “skull tower” but couldn’t find the city. Really! We tried to stop at the new, modern campground in Belgrade but….. We tried to stop in Novi Sad but missed another big city next to the freeway. We […]

Serbia

We needed to remember all those words of wisdom about patience and pace of the culture when we went into Serbia. The Macedonians were all cheery and friendly as we left. When we got to Serbia the people were less than friendly. We needed insurance. This is expected as no outside insurance company that we […]

Hanging with Fellow Travellers

Had a great last nite at the campground. After spending a couple of days with Scott from the conference and Mark & Lorna, from England, who we met for the first time in Morocco, outside of Gouillmime. Can you believe it! We were so surprised when they drove into the campground. Andrew spent some time […]

Party at the Truck in Ohrid

After 3 days of being away Andrew came back to the truck this morning with 3 dozen eggs, milk and 25 of his closest friends from the conference. It was a great day of eating crepes, hanging about chatting and boating. Hannah had the great idea of renting one of the slide boats for an […]

Spring Cleaning and Conference

Normal day today. Andrew in town for a 3 day conference. Kids working in their schoolbooks. Followed by extensive time in the lake with their tyre tubes. Just like what I used to spend days doing when I was a kid, so long ago. Amazing how a bit of old black rubber can make water […]

Macedonia – take 2

We ended up behind a bus at the Macedonian border. The bus was having problems getting through and angry bus passengers were everywhere. We showed our updated car documents in a fancy plastic folder. Andrew noted before that the truckers show a plastic sleeve with insurance documents, listing the names of the countries, showing on […]

Greece – take 1

So, we were now ready for another attempt to go into Macedonia but we had to go the long way around and try to get into Greece first. Greece was so easy to get into.  The man looks into the front of the truck and sees all these faces looking, including the dog who was […]
