And also a change of crew.
Sadly I have to say farewell – and thanks – to my two trusted travel companions, Lauren and Jodie, as we part company in Budapest.
As they fly back to the UK to return to work, I am picking up a rental car for the next stage of the trip. A 1,500 mile drive through 7 countries in 9 days. The petrol-heads amongst you will have noticed that I finally selected a Ford Focus as the most suitable vehicle for this heavy and arduous itinerary – edging out the Porsche, Lamborghini and Range Rover based on overall value for money rather than kerb appeal and 0-60 acceleration.
For the road trip I am pleased to report that I am joined by my new co-pilot and navigator, Nadia.
We had a full working lunch so that departing team could pass on tips for the next part of the journey.

Happy onward travels with Nadia & safe homeward travels for Lauren & Jodie 👍😘.
Sibling travel! What a concept. 😉. Enjoy! Traveling with a sister is the best. 😄
Lovely photo of you all. Safe travels xx
Miss you loads, wishing we were still there!!!
Enjoying your blog. Have fun on the next leg. Despite the Article 50 Notice having been served, there remains insufficient information about
the likely terms of the post-Brexit arrangements between the UK and the EU, as well as about any possible transitional arrangements, to draw any
conclusions about the probable impact. However, I assume you’re devoting sufficient energy on debating how to mitigate risks for a range of Brexit scenarios and will be bringing home plenty of beer 🙂
I have been (a) debating the pros and cons of BREXIT with everyone I meet or (b) drinking copious amounts of local beer.
