Slovenia

John here again sat in hotel in Bled, Slovinia. Gorgeous country by the way which we didn't expect - well worth a visit especially if you like active holidays,

which is perfect for us obviously. It might look like we are having a lot of fun, and I'm not saying we aren't, but its far from relaxing and very cruelling .... honestly!

Talking of which, big night in Bologne last night and we said farewell to some good friends that sadly couldn't limp home to prague - Sean, Tish, Shorty and Sam - have a good trip home.

One more day to push on to Prague and just short of the 2000 mile mark unfortunatly, we have to report that Britney has developed a worrying rattle, we think it is related to the exhaust so fingers crossed that we can nurse her home. Too be perfectly honest other than one quick blast on the unrestricted autobahn we have been chugging very slowly every where and could potentially be the slowest drivers on the whole rally (though it isn't a race)! Though in true tortoise and hare style, every time the Jag boys roar past us somehow we have popped up in front of them a couple of hours later - thank you Aldi sat nav is all I can say - either that or we must catch them up every time they stop for petrol and with a 4 litre v8 then I can imagine that's quite often!
