to Bulgaria

Not much in the mood for blog writing so apologies (or not so many apologies if you can't be arsed reading my posts anyway).

We are here (Russell and Sylvia from Canadialand send a satellite tag out every night).

It's been a bit of a whirlwind trip hoofing it straight down to Bulgaria, camping every night but one and usually having one day driving interspersed with one day pootling around a lovely (or not so lovely) city or somewhere in the so far very pretty countryside.

It's not like I'm not enjoying myself, but I'm really struggling with being with so many other people (not all of whom I would choose) all the bloody time, and having no freedom regarding route etc.  It's all a bit school trip/family holiday and therefore not really my kind of thing. Hopefully in a couple of weeks when we're in more interesting places and have a bit more time I'll have adjusted as it'd be a shame to bail which is what I'm currently considering.

Home for the next 6 months or so, parked up at Dover

Padlock bridge in Cologne.  People lock padlocks and throw the keys in the river to symbolise unbreakable love or some other vomit inducing nonsense.
