Ukraine

Ukraine consists mostly of

&

The main methods of transportation are

&

There are also a few police cars about. But we found that they were all quite nice. We were only strip searched for narcotics once, and all went well, after the initial supicion over some OXO cubes.

Prague - Bratislava - Budapest

We drove to Prague:

and camped in a lovely field/campsite:

Then Chris C didn’t want to go to Poland so we decided  head south instead. We drove to Slovakia:

And just wen we start thinking we’re in a Soviet Bloc country

Something will come along to remind us we’re not that far from home:

What’s this beast?

We had lunch in Bratislava near a castle:

…and camped in the moutainside outside of Budapest for two nights.  It was raining too much to get the EOS out, but ook some pics of the aswesome campsite. Steps lead up the montainside to plateaus made for tent pitching:

And now we’re off to Ukraine!

the Road to Nurnberg - views from the Autobahn

Greetings from Amsterdam!

A slight detour, not entirely sure how we decided to go here, but it envovled being tired, cranky and exhaused after trying, unsuccessfully, to sleep in the car somewhere in Donquerque. The decision was made to get the hell out of France as soon as possible, and after having some very sweet waffles with banana, chocolate and cream in Brussles for breakfast, we headed towards the Netherlands. A sign said Amsterdam and the rest is history!

We drove around the ringroad until I spotted a camping sign. 2 hours later we found the place by foot, and paid a small fee for staying 2 days, plus an extortionate amount in tax.

Internet cafes here seem non-existant but we eventually found wifi in a mcdonalds, which justifies me carying this brick all day, kinda!

Next we’re heading to Nuremburg for the night, about 420 miles or 6 hours continous driving, it won’t be long before we’ll be doing less than half of that on a good day!

Launch Day!

The time has finally come - at 10pm tonight we shall be boarding the ferry to France and our adventure shall begin. Final preparations have been frantic - at least for Chris our chief mechanic, but we’re keen to go.

Pictures and updates from the road soon!
