Hello - this is the final blog post as we have made it to Dobrich in Bulgaria - writing this from an office in the college (one of the places I used to work!) We left Negotin on the 18th June and began a 2 day cycle through steep hills to reach the farm. Having said that I had thought various other cyclists were being over the top about dogs, I started to become afraid of the dogs too and started carrying a big stick on my bike (although never actually hit any!)...

Hello everyone! There are 2 things I forgot to write in the last blog which I wanted to include so I am going to put them here: - Felix (who we stayed with in Vienna) is a unicyclist and goes to unicycle conventions all around the world. The most amazing thing is he unicycled from Montreal (Canada) to Mexico!! He has a special touring unicycle which he can attach 2 paniers to! - On the way through the vineyards in Austria we met a French/French canadian couple...

Hello! It feels like a long time since Mulhouse in France.

We cycled to Basel and exchanged money into swiss francs. Everything i...

However one of the zips for the inner compartment had come off somehow so we had to be careful when zipping up the other one.. but in the rush of packing up in the rain I zipped up the inner comp...

Hello! We have been meaning to write for a few days now but have not had internet or time to sit and write! Now we're staying in a campsite near a town called Radelange in Belgium, near the border with Luxembourg. It's quite cold but luckily it has a bar with a fire so we're keeping warm! We set off on Monday morning from Quesnoy-sur-deule. Denis (Vianney's Dad) came with us for the first part along the canals to the Belgian border. We meant to continue to Mons...
