once upon a time there were 2 travellers called rhi and wooda. They decided they needed some guidance in their long and tiring trek. In the dark and shadowy depths of a croatian supermarket they discovered a book - with mercedes benz on the cover and thought this must have been sent to guide them. They gave the sacred book an original name - the mercedes book and set about in decoding its secrets. In the beginning the book was blank, yet to reveal its wisd...

From Lucerne Wooda went back to Interlaken for a few days and Rhi went to Italy. In Florence Rhi met up with her mum and a friend anne did some stuff, shopping I think.

Interl;aken is just stunning and words really cant desc...

On advice from Woodas cousin and a crazy American thought we would pop over to Bratislava, Slovakia as it is about 1 hr from Vienna by bus. Arrived with nowhere to stay so we walked to the only hostel we had an address for, to find they were full. Everywhere was full (or so he said) except for Mr Jurajs hostel. He came to pick us up - dodgiest looking guy ever, got into his dodgy ...
