Dalaman to Bratislava to Prague 24.5.25 Whilst writing this we’re on the 5am Regiojet train to Prague from Bratislava. We dropped Maisy dog off at 5.30pm yesterday to Maya the dog sitter. Maisy remembered her from last year and trotted off very happily which was lovely. We had dinner at Dalaman Prison, then drove to…

Prague day 2. Hopefully this doesn’t set the tone for our day..
Let’s go exploring! 26.5.25 This morning I could hear drip, drip, drip.. Nothing to see but a tiny mark on the ceiling, which quickly turned into a larger mark. Trying to pack for a week in a small cabin bag was challenging, so I opted for taking less underwear and washing it as I go….

Day 3 in Prague
Island hopping in Prague is a real thing! 27.5.25 Another fabulously peaceful, cosy nights sleep at Villa Jinonice.

Our last day in Prague

It had more of a feeling of being within castle walls, and was more rustic. We didn’t pay for the full…

Getting old. In Prague
Prague to Bratislava. 30.5.25 Another day another ailment. I’ve had a sore throat, headaches, achy hips, a dislocated groin, broken left arm, painful elbow, severe gastric disorder and today after washing my hair upside down in the shower I’ve fractured my spine. We’ve walked our feet down to nubs each day, 16km, 14km and 12km…

Good morning from Bratislava, Slovakia.
What does today in Bratislava have in store? 31.5.25 I’m not sure whether the trams run all night but I’ve been awake pretty much since the first one I heard at 5am, followed not long after by the dustmen. Before setting out for the day John nipped to Tesco for Danish pastries which we had…
