Diary Entry – 15th January 2024

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!!

Today started just about as bad as bad as any day could start really. I woke up about 6am which is fine i like the morning time as it allows me a bit of me time to get up and just sit in silence and relax. I had the laptop on and was doing my usual Only Vans bits and i was happily plodding away. The internet on the campsite had gone down last night but i am always one step ahead so i was hot spotting on my phone. Then Mum woke up and came to the front and the plan was we were going to do some bits. Then all of a sudden blackout. My phone had obviously ran out of data.

I was looking to start work at 9am and Mum was due to start at 11am. The biggest challenge of all is that the Maroc telecom shop isn’t particularly regimented with what time it opens. So as it was still quite early we decided to go for a walk along the beach front and cut up through the hotels to get onto the main road and walk to the shop. I don’t know why but the queues in these types of shops go slower than a week in the jail and i must have been waiting for gone 20 minutes and there was only 2 people in the queue. TO fix my issue i am in and out in 2 minutes so i dread to think what on earth is going on there

My mind is absolutely fixed on planning mode. One of the places when we first decided we were going to travel to is Bosnia so to think we are going to be going there is so so so so exciting. I must have spent about 90 minutes watching videos on the history of Bosnia and Yugoslavia and everything that has happened there over the last 120 years is very very interesting. Especially the last 30 years even more so. I was lying in bed and was going through P4N and ticking all the places that i wanted to visit. We think that 4 weeks should be enough for Croatia and 4 weeks should be enough for Bosnia then m

In an ideal situation id like 12 months down that part and do the whole lot but like i have said the winters over there are quite bad so it will be Montenegro to Morocco in week to get some sun on our faces. I also need to start planning how we get from Brittany to Croatia and get some things to look at on that route as well. I am really really really looking forward to doing that as that as well. We need to start buying them little stick on flags so we can start listing the countries that the 3 of us have been before. That trip will definitely add some flags to it Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia as a minimum. All very exciting.
