They say you should do the worst things first and today I had to buckle down and do something I was dreading. As a dog groomer I have a minimum quarterly agreement with my pups that they have a bath (Mabel rolls in poo so has far more). Last time I tried to bath Ernest …

162 – Random Spring Clean
When you are in a beautiful city like Budapest the last thing you expect to be doing is a deep spring clean of your motorhome. But that is what I did, despite the glorious 23 degrees outside. We had a lovely walk with the pups, then I came back and started tidying up and it …
160 – Budapest a majestic city
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 …
158 – A rustic thermal spa
Almost 6 months into our trip and I’m still making daft mistakes. I had planned to climb Krivan mountain this morning. Peeked out the window at 6am and it was still dark and didn’t want to wake anyone so waited, but was conscious it was a 4hr hike, so thought I’d double check the route…its …
157 – Getting to the root of me
You might want to grab a coffee, today’s is a long one. This mornings plans went out the window early on, as I slept through my alarms and woke in a strange and restless mood. Typically Sundays are our reset days where we do little and just relax but I felt today some time to …
156 – Magic happens deep underground
Last night we parked up at Ochtinska Aragonite Cave which is right out in the middle of nowhere and thus gifted us a clear starry sky. Having seen many caves, Mark needed a little persuasion to visit this one, but it is one of only three aragonite caves in the world open to the public. …
155 – Exploring nature on an adrenaline high
We took the pups for their morning walk around Levoca, and it’s true many of the buildings have embraced both colour and patterns. Though we saw even more brightly coloured houses, in electric blues, lime greens and pinks dotted in little villages on our drive to Paradise National Park. One thing that made me giggle …

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. As I was happily kicking my way through the leaves, I realised this is Ernests first Autumn. No wonder he is snuffling …

153 – Thinking of leaving…no you don’t
I love it that my body puts me to sleep when I’m ill. I slept through my alarms, had a monster 10 hours and woke feeling great. The plan was to walk the pups on the park and then head south into the Tatra National Park. Well the first stumbling block was that the places …
