Typically when we visit a new city we head straight for the centre and soak up the atmosphere. In Budapest we took a different approach and took the Zugliget Chairlift to Normafa Park for a fun steep ride up the hillside and a lovely view over the city. Once back at the van, I got …

159 – The best vistas
Wow the Banská Štiavnica Calvary is stunning! We really hadn’t got a true grasp of what a wonderful position it had. As morning walks go it was a true gem. Mark and I then walked into the main town in search of coffee, but actually found a wonderful tea house, with around 50 different teas …
154 – Autumnal Mountains, Castles and Geysers
Autumn has most definitely arrived, and how beautiful it is! This morning we drove into Slovakia towards stunning mountain ranges and had a lovely long walk in the Upper Tatras at Tatranska Lomnicka.

124 – Views, caves and yet more sculpture

Day 101 – Vilianous pizza
Journey: Centre of Europe – Vilnius After three months on the road we are finally getting the hang of this city malarky. Rocked up at preknown carpark, parked and 10minutes later we have walked to our first city site The Three Crosses. Wow so that’s what effortless, no argueing or road stress feels like 😂🙏 …
