24/08/2011 Day 15. Split. We set off at 8 this morning but first things first we had to empty the waste water tank. I was driving and managed to reverse it into a bush.. Woops. After that mishap we were away and set off for split. I drove for the first 200km and was ok brown alert because we had less than 100km of diesel left in the tank and didn't know where the merest petrol station was. We managed to get one with about 50km of diesel to spare. I was away then...

15/08/2011 Day 14. Plitvice Work up at 7.30 and headed to the bus at 8. It arrived around 8.10 and my god, it was a total free-for-all. There is no concept of queuing, elbows were everywhere, I was shocked! We waited for the second bus and waded onto that one. After about a 10 minute drive we arrived at the entrance to the national park. 80 kuna admission for students, bargain! Aaron had to pay 110 the sucker. We headed for the shuttlebus inside to take us to t...

22/08/2011 Day 13. Budapest - Plitvice, Croatia Set off around 9 this morning. Nick had a right fight to make the sat nav work but it managed to get us going eventually. The sun was beaming again but it wasn't too bad being early on. We were faced with a 6 hour drive but luckily I got shotgun for the last 3 hours and got a hand in the air con. We stopped after crossing the border for Aaron to swap driving for Nick. I had a little walk around the lay by in the go...

21/08/2011 Day 12. Budapest day 2. As I lay half naked next to Dave in bed I reflect on today's happenings. Woke up about 9 this morning very warm and with one heck of a dry mouth! I had to get out of the van. Even at this time the sun was beaming and the temperature was easily 25 degrees. We hanged around the campsite today until about 3.30 enjoying the sunshine and piecing together last night. I had two showers in this time to cool off. We headed into town ...

20/08/11 Day 11. Krakow- Budapest. We landed in an area called district 9. I'm drunk while i'm writing this so it may be rubbish. We got to budapest on the day of the red bull air race, so we decided to head straight for the town/river. As we left the metro we saw a plane doing stunts so we were excited, we thought we might be in luck and catch the red bull rave. As we got to the bridges the planes stopped.unluckily we must have missed it by an hour or so. gutte...
