This trip came about because Michael wanted to see where he was born, Leicester England. Well after a little over four months and 25,000 kilometres we are here and it has been the "experience of a lifetime". I thought I would share some facts with you so that anyone that is interested in planning their own trip will have some idea of what we have endured. Distance: 25,000K Tyres: Three rears, the first did 9,000K and the second did 15,000K Times we dropped the...

We have made it! We are in Poole UK and have met my mother who is over here from Australia. How cool is that? We came from Germany via Luxembourg where we stopped and had a look at Vianden Castle, a castle that dates from Roman times, but has seen lots of changes and renovations over the years, so it is hard to say how old it is, but it was an amazing castle to see in a great setting.

From Oslo we headed to Stockholm hoping that our second visit to Sweden would be more inspiring than our first, and we weren't disappointed, even though we had the now standard rain! We stayed in a caravan park quite away out of Stockholm but the efficient Swedish public transport was great for getting us in and out of the city. Old Stockholm was great with some lovely old streets and buildings which we spent quite a bit of time wondering around, but I think the ...
