We've visited Lake Garda several times in the past few years, but we've never visited Sirmione. We stopped last night at Camping Tiglio just a few kilometres along the road. We had intended to carry on towards Croatia today, but it seemed daft not to visit the old city while we were here. So this morning we set off on our…
http://wannabepikey.blogspot.co.uk/ Well, we've heard nowt from The Rozzers about our uninvited guests in the last two weeks, but our time has been filled with other things. Herself has been nagging me for some time to allow her a puppy, and last week I could take no more and caved in. Meet "Gwawr", a tri coloured border…
The penultimate day has arrived! And for once, we’re ready before Wozza! Quite a long day today but we’re edging back into civilisation now so it’s pretty much tarmac all the way for us now! We start driving through big towns and even hit the motorway today. What a difference in driving conditions compared with a couple of…
It’s early, not even the sun is up just yet and we’re packing up ready to go! 6am comes round and we’re on the road and we’ll be mostly on tarmac today, what a treat indeed! Our main stop today will be in Birdsville around 200km away where we’ll have brekkie and drop Simon, Gina and Adrian off at the airport ready for…
It’s our last full day with the gang and I can’t help feeling a little sad today! Not only does this mean we’ll be without 3 of our fabulous team, it also means we’re on the home stretch now. What an experience we’ve had so far, I can’t believe I’ve been in this wonderful country for 2 whole weeks already and this time…
The sunshine this morning is exquisite so I’ve taken myself of to the most sunny spot of Tobermorey Station Roadhouse to write my blog this morning. There’s no mobile reception here and we haven’t had any contact with the rest of the world for over 24 hours so traditional pen and paper is my weapon of choice for most of my…
Last night at Gemtree was an absolute blast – the best evening with the gang and our new friends! Kate and her team provide us with a breakfast of epic proportions – the best bacon and egg sandwich so far, and we’ve had a few! It’s another glorious morning and it finally dawns on Simon that he’s without his Kangaroo hide…
Beyond Austria, the River Danube led us to Passau. This handsome Bavarian city, at the confluence of the Danube and River Inn, has a compact Altstadt, with St Stephen’s Cathedral dominant, and the Rathaus by the Danube, overlooked by the Veste Oberhaus fortress. Chiemsee was next, where we stayed at busy Panorama Camping,…
It’s such a shame to leave Yulara – there’s so much history, I could spend a whole week here! But we’re off early as usual and heading for Gemtree via Alice Springs. We’ve also recruited some newbies for the second half of our journey! Two more Bailey Australia team members will be with us for the remainder of the trip –…
Hungary started off rather like Romania did - very flat. The southern plain features Hungary’s largest national park, Hortobágyi, famous for birdwatching, water buffalo and blue-skirted cowboys. At Tiszafüred on the country’s second longest river, the Tisza, we stayed at the popular Dieters Camping. The river is dammed…
