"The Last Post"

A big thank you to all who have sponsored and supported me on what for me has been an epic journey and a terrific experience. 

If you haven't already sponsored me, there is still time!    

Just for the record I completed 2,895 miles over the 9 weeks of the trip.
           Campsite in Germany.
                                         "Sweetheart" says I've lost weight!
                                            The Rhine,  between Mainz and Koblenz
                                                                  Budapest at night
'Sweetheart' with her lunch in great little "Eetkezede" in Budapest, a beautiful city.   We had a lovely time.
Ferry across the Danube in Hungary.  I crossed the river many times.  Every country that the Danube passes through, which includes Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany seem to use a different system of ferry.  The Hungarian system has a small 'tug' which nudges the ferry to manoeuvre it - ingenious!

                                                               Gypsies in Bulgaria
Fish Kebabs in Golupolu (Galipoli) in Turkey.   They were delicious!
