Counting the days.

We are parked up today at home in Bingley.

We've been back home in West Yorkshire for a few weeks now and have been far from idle. Well, only a little bit idle and just now and again.

We've had the van MOT'd and serviced, the leaking roof has also been repaired, hopefully. The engine has been re-mapped which should give us improved performance and fuel consumption. We've fitted a new floor, some LED strip lighting and we're waiting for the new mattress to be delivered. A few new gadgets have been purchased together with some maps and camping guides and a few items that we have never used have been dumped. Oh yes, you may have noticed that we've revamped this blog a bit and added a few features. So now we are counting down until we set off in nine days time to catch the early morning tunnel train from Folkestone on the 30th April.

Our provisional route will take us through France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece. We're also hoping to take the ferry across to Crete. We are in no hurry and anticipate entering Greece at the end of May.

Here's a map showing our route and intended stopping points:

On our last couple of trips we had dates by which we had to be back in the UK. We came home for Christmas, and we had to come home in March to MOT the van but this time we have no return date which we are finding quite liberating. I guess we'll know when it's time to come back.

Just 10 more days!!
