You’re doing “WHAT “? Exclaimed Pumper!! We tried the soft sell… After all why would Pumper not jump at her own swanky, private storage container in Athens… parked up for five months relaxing and giving her weary joints and moving parts a good rest after the four month 7000 mile adventure around Western and Eastern [...]

Nothing like mixed messages.. last stop in Montenegro parking at the Starigrad, old town, of ‘Bar’, a local oldtimer bustles over with glee at the sight of pumper … as the security lock is attached to the steering wheel protesting furiously with hand motions… “…this was not necessary in his village”.

The language is a concocted mix of each with English thrown in for good measure. With just as rich [...]

“Wha’ d’ya mean we lost a suitcase”??? Never good rolling up at an airport less one piece of luggage, especially when the missing bag is sitting back at the hotel parking lot, where we must have almost driven right over it. ‘Oh bother said Pooh’ as it would go in the classic “Winnie The Pooh” [...]

“Live with intention, walk to the edge, play with abandon, live with no regrets: Dream big and do what you love!!” A new fancy schmancy ‘iPad’ means we are connected on a whole new level and staying “With It”. Getting our life coordinated for the next leg of our odyssey … we watch the cold grotty [...]
