Not next, that ends up being more Germany and Balkans, but where I've just been. A few short videos put together to give an idea of the sounds of Mexico -

About a week or so after returning from Mexico I drove back through Croatia, Slovenia and Austria to Germany. Stayed ten days or so and drove back to Sarajevo. Friday sees us going from Sarajevo into Serbia, turning right and into Northern Macedonia then Greece and then circling to the right still, into Albania, Montenegro and back into Bosnia.
A week and a half after getting back we're going to the coast in Croatia for a few days doing nothing then I have a clear couple of weeks back in Bosnia before yet again (due again to family commitments) driving back to Germany and returning to Bosnia. Are you still following me? With luck, upon return, I'll manage to have three weeks in Bosnia before heading back via Germany to Spain for the summer, or at least until the end of August.
The big question I need to think about though is where to go, if anywhere, that is warm next February. I'm inclined to just go back to India, but instead of touring round like I normally do, pick a couple of major cities and explore there.

In a couple of weeks we are visiting my daughter in Brighton. To make it a mini-holiday we are stayin in Arundale for a night at the Norfolk Arms (Note to self: find out why it is called the Norfolk Arms since it is in Sussex)

Because the castle is the "seat" of the Duke of Norfolk . There used to be a super little toy shop in the main street, that rejoiced in the name "thingummy". Just up the hill to the roundabout and down the next left will bring you to the place I spent most of my "country weekends" - which in turn is just up that hill from Fontwell Park. The White Swan used to be a very gourmettish restaurant - DK if it still is. ( Can you tell - my old stomping grounds !)

We are going to Brighton for a couple of days with my daughter and hertwo lads. We are doing a couple of other things to break up the journey. We saw a very old friend in a care home today. On the way home we'll see Mrs Faz's sister. This evening we thought we would make it more of a mini-holiday by having a night to ourselves in a nice old hotel in Arundel. We think we'll always do this.

Halfway home... Albany two noghts and home on Sat !! Dunno what a “noght” is but I like the sound of that. As I have no money to go anywhere I have decided I shall live vicariously through other people’s travels.

My travel timeliness on my phone came up. Bit sad as I've been to two cities this month. One where I live and the other has obviously grown in a month as it had a population of 800 last time I visited and is 18 kms away.

Rest well, Voy! I am on the train… expecting delays since they announced an “accident of person “ may their soul rest in peace.

I came within inches of booking a ticket to Tokyo today, checking hotels and everything. Then I came to my senses, but I'm pretty sure I'll have a relapse before long. The yen is the lowest it's been in years.
