Day 1:
Tickets-check. Passports-check. 1-300 list for daughter and dog left at home- check.
All things on the ‘To-Do’ list accounted for so off to Tulla for yet another ‘Backpacking with Wheels’ adventure with Mr and Ms X. This time the adventure doesn’t involve Eurail or hopefully not lots of steps and stairs as has happened in the past (remember Paris and Barcelona). This time  the adventure involves a car, several planned pit stops along the way and lots of unplanned ‘winging it’ times in between. This time there is a GPS unlike the time in Germany when there was just a map and a lot of yelling and swearing and with someone almost in tears saying that they only did 5 years of German so they could not be held responsible for getting lost! Some of us haven’t quite moved on from then…

And so the adventure begins…
