You can track us down, we have employed yet another wonder of the modern world in the form of a Google map that will keep you guys and gals up to date with where we be going and where we be gone.  And yes, that is imperfect english, and no I don’t want to change [...]

So where have we been?
It has been days, if not weeks since I last updated.  I feel like it is an age, and yes – I am going to use the excuse that we simply haven’t been able to find internet, mainly I use that excuse because it is true.
The internet populous land of Estonia [...]

It’s only a matter of a few miles, in fact the country shares a border with it. But, whereas Estonia seems to have broken free and become rather westernized – in its own way – Latvia still seems to have Russia firmly attached to it.
Point number one is the roads.  Now Estonian roads are nothing [...]

The two and a half litre heart of our van never starts first time, it is a precise calculation to get the clutch in, and the gas pedal in the perfect position before the old girl finally roars into life.  It is a practice that Luke and I have been doing since we broke down [...]

After a few more hours sleep and a long shower, our ferry deposited us on the shores of Finalnd.
Although I swear to you it felt as if we had never left land. The Stockholm archipelago, consisting of some 24,000 islands, kept close company to us throughout the first part of the journey, then after a [...]

Yes, travellers always want food.  Any kind of food.  Doesn’t matter what it is  as long as someone else has prepared it and is doing the washing up then we are fine.
So when we were told about a ferry crossing between Sweden and Finland that included an all you can eat breakfast buffet, followed by [...]

After returning the lovely Saab to Sjkovde, picking up the van which is now working (the problem was air in the fuel system).  Oh and a point here, if anyone is ever looking for the diagnostics connection socket for the LDV convoy, it is under the ashtray, you know, the obvious place of course!
So yer [...]
