The night we arrived in Acropolis, Athens was a massive debacle. We timed the Greece referendum perfectly to arrive in Athens amidst chaos in the main square – Syntagma on the Greek referendum night. We wish we had taken pictures of the government square that night where there was a massive Greek demonstration full of people and music at near 12am. We didn't have our accommodation address written in Greek on us, no mobile internet connection, it was pitch b...

After a good sleep in the fresh country air, we decided to take a walk in the nearby woods in our PJ's and Ros's wellys (Pics attached to show the surreal landscape!). Imagine doing that every morning! TK Max was our first stop (AGAIN!) before heading to the countryside and were recognised by the staff after we returned one item and bought several more. After the first visit, Pol was addicted even after she said she wasn't interested in shopping on this trip. ...

Feel the wind in your hair and the bugs of Britain. Up early.

We shot off early to miss the traffic on our way to Shrewsbury. This was the first real test ride for 'the crossing of' the European border next week. It ended with a slightly sore ass (pol), gravel skids and hunger pains from the 3 hour trip but a big conte...

Up at 5am! Ready for the day! Quick coffee and breakky at the old Michelin Tyre building (good experience minus the black pudding which Pol had on her plate and did not realise). Today we were collecting the vehicle that is going to transport us all around Europe; BMW GS700. First stop; motorcycle shop to buy last minute items for trip (chain lube, jacket, extra luggage etc). From there we grabbed a quick bite at Selfiridges (MASSIVE food hall. Hard to choose w...

Landed. Weary eyed and ready for sleep.Wow. The traffic in London....Chaos! Finally got back to the house to settle in and get some rest. Headed out for a walk around Chelsea and Kings Road - quick bite at the 'Good Life'. That evening we went to an amazing old pub called 'The Nag's Head', right off the beaten track. Had our first real English bitter and pint of Guinness. For dinner we stayed in with a BBQ with the family and some friends, but straight after fo...
