Cambridge, UK to
Slavonski Brod, Croatia (c.2,000 Km)
Following a couple of days of manic packing (thanks to both
of our sets of parents for last minute assistance!) we are now finally on the
move! We set out in the wee hours from Anna’s
parents’ in Cambridge, and have spent the last 5 days crossing an incredibly
wet Europe. There is limited excitement to report, since we’re putting our foot
down (well, as much as you can in a car weighing nearly 3 tonnes!), to give us
more time in Africa.
However, we have managed to spice up the beginning of our
trip, by detours to see friends living on the continent. We had a great night
out in Paris with Jess and her ‘married friends’, followed by a lovely dinner
with Alex and Steffi near Munich, where we met their very new son Raphael.
Since then it has been hard yards, briefly interrupted by
the stunning scenery of the Austrian Alps, northern Slovenia and Lake Bled; a
wander through the quirky back streets of Ljubljana; and our stop for the night
tonight at a gorgeous vineyard in eastern Croatia.
The roads have been amazing thus far, and the borders
simple, let’s see how things change as we head further into the Balkans over
the next couple of days...
PS for those ski nuts out there, I can confirm it has been
snowing in the Alps
