So allowing for travel and wee breaks and interrogation by border police x 2 (Serbia then Bulgaria) and getting lost I'll be very disappointed if we're not there by 3pm! I'll report back later.

Day 6 of 19 – Belgrade City tour
It has rained most of today🤦🏻♀️ I don't think I'll be sorry to leave the hotel tomorrow. It's not the best and certainly not 4 * Anyway we had a guided tour and although it was gloomy it was quite nice. Not sure how many photos today! Think this is the Partizan football stadium Think …

Day 4 – evening update
So tonight's evening meal was served in the 15th floor revolving restaurant. I did take food photos however I won't bore you with those. Some photos of us Sue doesn't like her photo being taken! I'll try and explain the handbag photo but it won't sound as funny as it actually was. As some will …

Thought I'd start a new post. Not least because I'm now here.. .... for the next 90 minutes at least! The good news is my passport still works after 3 years of lying idol. Bad news is I only have 18 months left on it. At least I'll get a new fancy smansy one😊 First …
Day 1 of 19 – Reims And I’m off!
So... no one likes to use the 'C' word on day one however after asking Tracey to kindly go out of her way on a Monday morning to take me to Dudley bus station I preceded to come all the way back to junction 2 to get on the motorway🤦🏻♀️ A taxi driver approached me …
