Well the date of leaving draws steadily closer. With it the planning gets more intense. I have started printing maps of the internet and looking at the route on google maps. We still have to source a europe map and also the information about each country we are visiting. Not sure about what we will do in each country yet, just know that we want to see these places, Hopefully we will find some things.
The plans so far are only to see the Frankfurt Baha'i Temple, The Cat Empire, hire bikes and ride around Amsterdam, see The Tour De France, Drive the Stvelio pass in Northern Italy/ Southern Swizterland..
We are also hoping to go canyoning in Slovenia and looking foward to a few days on the beach in Italy. :D..
The car is still not on the road yet, Its still at the mechanics as he needs to get some more parts, also I still havent got a 30 day paper from another car place. This paper tells the police (when I go to register the Calibra) that even though I have owned the car for longer than 30 days without registring it, I haven't changed anything on the car and it is still the way it was when I bought it.
Hopefully I will get the car back and on the road this week.
Once it is on the road, It will get a test drive on the 20-21st June, as we are going to go to Trnava, for a training day for the junior youth camp. The thought is that we might go somewhere friday night in eastern slovakia, to give the car a good run and make sure there isnt anything that we are worried about when we go for the trip. It will definately have new brakes on, which I am happy about considering some of the mountains we will be driving through in Swizterland and Italy.
It also looks like the trip might start on the 26th June, as we may go to Poprad and stay at a friend of Lara & Kati's. This will be a pretty cool thing to spend some time with friends before getting down to the work of Junior Youth camp and then the trip.
It doesnt look like Lara and Ludo will come with us for even part of the trip as they have made some of their own plans. Thats the way it goes, we still have some time so we will see what we can plan, It would be great to meet with some more friends on the trip.
Anyway, going to go look at www.roughguides.com (thanks mum) to get some more information about places.
