At the start of the trip we didn’t know if we would make it to Kosovo but if we managed to have a few days up our sleeve we thought we would go and dip our toes in the water at the capital Pristina. Well we did have a few days before we left soContinue reading “Pristina”

Lake Ohrid
Sitting at about 700m above sea level and stretching to depths of about 300m Lake Ohrid is billed as a “must see” when visiting the Balkans and I have to admit being quite taken with the first impressions of both the lake with the snow capped mountains surrounding it and the town of Ohrid itselfContinue reading “Lake Ohrid”
Berat to Lake Ohrid
Berat was our last stop in Albania before we headed off to North Macedonia. We were using the local bus system again and even though we had an idea of our route and how many buses we needed to take we both decided to get an early start as what we thought was an easyContinue reading “Berat to Lake Ohrid”
Apollonia by bus
I think there is something quite fun about exploring a country by local bus. I am certainly not saying it’s for everyone or that it’s necessarily the best or quickest way to get somewhere but in a lot of the developing countries that we visit it’s the most used and most affordable way of gettingContinue reading “Apollonia by bus”
Berat
We awoke to beautiful sunshine on the morning of our trip to Berat. Considering we took a taxi from Tirana to Durrës as our last mode of transport we decided to go back to our favourite if not slower form of transport being the local bus to get us to Berat. Luckily for us theContinue reading “Berat”
Durrës
Albania is situated just north of Greece and just off the heel of Italy and as such would probably attract more tourists in the summer to come and enjoy the coastline along the Adriatic Sea. Unfortunately for us it was November and while warmer than most of Europe it was still a little cool butContinue reading “Durrës”
Tirana
We always knew that England in November was potentially not going to be a great place to be in the camper but we had the added problem of not wanting to enter any EU countries as we wanted to use our full 90 days skiing in Austria. Tough life we know! 😉 So on aContinue reading “Tirana”
Combe Martin
Our time in England was coming to an end and we still wanted to explore one last area and Mum and Dad decided to join us in a visit to the north Devon coast where the main highlight was hiking the south coast path. The south coast path stretches for over 1000km along the coastContinue reading “Combe Martin”
A Quick tour of family and friends in England
Upon arriving from the ferry from Dublin in Holyhead Wales we were immediately greeted by a serious storm warning with big winds and lots of rain. We bunkered down for the night and then decided the next day to change our plans of spending a couple of days hiking and biking near Snowdonia and insteadContinue reading “A Quick tour of family and friends in England”
Dublin
We had one more stop to go on our Irish adventure and it was Dublin. I have 2 old work friends Pete and Dee who have recently moved there and Pete was kind enough to offer us accomodation at his place so we headed there. The drive in was pretty uneventful as we took theContinue reading “Dublin”
