  • Day 39 – Corfu Town

    Day 39 – Corfu Town

    Today has been a bit of a bonus day. We hadn’t mentally got an extra day on Corfu so we decided to make the most of it and headed into Corfu Town. We also had an airport pickup to do at 14:30 as Sue’s brother Phil, and wife Linda were flying in from Naples for…

  • Day 38 – Corfu

    Day 38 – Corfu

    After that bit of a scare yesterday, that we’d got our dates mixed up, we were up early and packed away for the ferry to Corfu. Got a great piccie of the sea and campsite last night… Elena’s Camping was fine for the night. Options for getting around would have been limited if we’d stayed…

  • Day 37 – Igoumenitsa

    Day 37 – Igoumenitsa

    Well, we thought it would be a bit of a quiet day today, arriving in Igoumenitsa and setting up camp. But in the end we had a bit of a scramble to avert a disaster. In this next gripping installment of John and Sue do Europe… Over night, having left Ollie on the car deck……

  • Day 36 – Alberobello, Ostuni, Brindisi and Ferry

    Day 36 – Alberobello, Ostuni, Brindisi and Ferry

    Well, we’re either being very lucky with our weather predictions or we’re should apply for a job at the Met. Office! After checking the forecast for today, we decided we didn’t need to pack up the van last night. Apple Weather said 35% chance of rain at 10am, which would give us loads of time…

  • Day 35 – Alberobello

    Day 35 – Alberobello

    5 weeks! Another day in Alberobello before we head south to Brindisi tomorrow for the ferry to Greece. The campsite is next to a tennis club and they were partying until well past 1AM. Elsewhere there were fireworks and dogs barking well into the early hours. It’s not exactly peace and quiet on many of…

  • Day 34 – Bari to Alberobello

    Day 34 – Bari to Alberobello

    Another great day today. A village full of crazy round houses and some retail therapy. The first thing to remark on today though is Sue’s alarm at trying out a bum gun at the B&B last night… the less said about that the better I think! But back to today… We had a leisurely start…

  • Day 33 – Dubrovnik to Barri

    Day 33 – Dubrovnik to Barri

    Well it was a good job we packed last night! As we went to bed last night I could see sheet lightning filling the sky to the north of us. And as I watched it for the next few hours it seemed not to be getting any closer. But… just as I’d fallen asleep Sue…

  • Day 32 – Dubrovnik Walking the Walls

    Day 32 – Dubrovnik Walking the Walls

    Wow! Again! Sue thinks this was the best day of the trip so far, and that was before she got her phone back! It was a reasonably early start again today. We left the campsite just before 8 with no breakfast. The #6 arrived pretty quickly, authenticated our Dubrovnik day pass, and dropped us at…

  • Day 31 – Dubrovnik

    Day 31 – Dubrovnik

    Phew… that was a day in the heat! But wow! – Dubrovnik! We’d decided last night that we wanted to do the Dubrovnik Old Town Historical Tour. So we’d booked for the 10 o’clock tour hoping to keep out of the blistering heat later in the day…. We were partially successful. We had a quickish…

  • Day 30 – Trogir to Dubrovnik

    Day 30 – Trogir to Dubrovnik

    Another travel day today. 250km to cover. We have a space pre-booked at the Solitudo Camp Site in Durbrovnik, the only camp site, that we could see, in the town. There was no particular rush to get packed and on the road, so Sue went for a double whammy… an early morning run, followed by…
