    Southern Europe, 43 days of new experiences

    Day 4 Woke up to another grey day weather wise but with the forecast of clearing weather we indulged in the hotel breakfast once again before loading the car, checking out and hitting the highway for Lucerne. It was far easier to get out of Zurich than I expected and literally 10 minutes after...

    Southern Europe, 43 days of new experiences

    Day 3 An early start (Sunday morning) to get some exercise and go for a stroll through the old town part of Zurich before breakfast. I was reminded of my teen years as I passed many night clubbers the worse for wear hitting the streets (some literally) as the sun came up. Back to the hotel...

    Southern Europe, 43 days of new experiences

    My first attempt at a trip report so any feedback appreciated. 18 months ago my wife and a friend discussed going on a trip to Spain for a couple of weeks. We worked hard to convince them that their husbands should be invited too. As these things tend to do for Aussies we thought it was a...

    Pickpockets in Barcelona

    Have just returned from a wonderful 6 weeks of travel through Spain, Portugal and Italy. A friend travelling with us was pickpocketed exiting the rail station in Madrid and then had some cash and personal items stolen from his luggage in his hotel room a week later. Silly mistake not using the...

    RIC can take a gear box without penalty due to the DNF but not an engine. Made sense to retire him following the lap 1 whack in the rear end just in case there was any damage to the gearbox
