Up bright an early to make the most of our last day in Krakow. I had a lovely 2mile jog around the park then did my exercises and picked up Mark and the pups for a further walk. We have been planning for winter, and our route keeps changing as we find out more about …

150 – Happy Mabel day!
Today we got the news we had been waiting for. Mabels autopsy results came back negative and her lumps are benign. This called for an extra long walk, excess cuddles and a smelly pig trotter as celebration (yep I’m vegan and still feed my pups the most disgusting treats because they go crazy for them). …
Day 147 – Mischief comes in threes
I’m going to do a short summary as I’m typing on an old laptop faster than the snail pace internet can cope with and its driving me crazy 😂 Up stupidly early, waited for mechanic to call and say van could be fixed, had nice coffee, long dog walk – some of which spent on …
146 – Brains in flow mode
Sometimes it takes a while for your brain to switch off one thing, declutter and come back refreshed and charged with new ideas. This last couple of days mine has been in full flow mode and I’ve thought of a business idea, travellers scheme and environmental project. With so many options it’s now deciding which …
146 – Auschwitz
The 5am alarm went off and I found myself snuggled between two doggy water bottles, but still felt cold. The temperature has dropped to 1 degree Celsius and although it’s meant to get warmer again it was a shock to the system. We have also found out that our plan to chase the sun to …
143 – Vienna like a tourist
So it’s a strange thing…we both felt like we had unfinished business with Vienna. We had left thinking it was pretty but lacking charm, but in retrospect we treated it like everywhere else and didn’t embrace the wealth of architecture, music and museums. And so we are back to give it a second try. We …
142 – Where does the time go?
My alarm went off at 6:10 and zombie Maria turned it off and fell instantly back asleep. Mark had had a rough night with the pups stealing bed and demanding late night walks for runny tummies. I’m a terrible parent and sleep through barks…totally oblivious (it’s my terrible superpower… and deeply frustrating for Mark). And …
140 – Exploring within and playing Scrabble
Before we set off I watched a travel documentary about a couple who toured Canada in their van…it was a dream trip…but they got tired of always being on the go. That seemed absurd to me, especially when we first set off. True to form, I was always thinking about the next place and in …

136 – Vienna…not what we expected
So I knew my dad was excited to visit Vienna. He loves music, plays in a brass band and used to be an architect, so with the limited knowledge and impression I had, I felt sure he would love it. His feet had survived Bratislava and he’d enjoyed the Secret City Trail, so we opted …
135 – Riddling around Bratislava
When the alarm went off at 6:30am I clocked my pups being extra cute and really didn’t want to leave them. When I finally dragged myself out for a morning run, it was one of my worst but it was still good to be up and out exploring the riverside. As a special treat we …
