Tuesday 16th: We woke up about 5 am and then went and sat out on the deck which was rather nice with the early morning light. While we waiting to dock we met a group from New Zealand. Three of whom were living and working in England and they gave us some suggestions of places to visit for our first few days in the south of Italy. After driving off the ferry we decided to head straight out of town and down the coast towards Monopoli, and after finding a campsite...

We had enough time to speak a little to them and to see th...

Monday 18th May - Budapest We have a large sticker on the front and smaller stickers on the camper windows but the only thing people seem to really notice is the numberplate. They seem to assume we are Dutch. So after noticing a couple of National Flags in front of campers I suggested to Ewout to fly our small Australian flag. It was amazing, a few minutes later a young girl came running up to us and asked us where we were from. She was from Esperance in Perth...
