Albania

Albania is full of surprises. Driving through the mountains and relaxing taking in the views with cold beer, fresh lamb and salad from the hills below learning some choice Albanian phrases with our driver Jimmy! The people in Albania are actually some of the friendliest you could hope to meet and definitely don’t live up to their dodgy reputation…………

Montenegro

Click to view slideshow.Montenegro is stunning, black mountains and beautiful coast lines. The water is crystal clean and the old town of Budva is an awesome place to take a stroll!

Kosovo

Kosovo bears the scars of the recent conflict and still seems to be in the recovery stage. Pristina resembles a third world city desperately in need of EU aid.

Macedonia

Lake Ohrid is set against a stunning backdrop on the border betweeen Macedonia and Albania. Bars and clubs on the lake are perfect for evening drinks and are open until 6am! A dip in the icy lake is well worth the trouble despite the initial shock upon entry…….

Liechtenstein

In Liechtenstein its possible to get bright sun, rain and feel cold in the same hour. A tiny mountain principality, only 25km long by 6km wide it doesn’t even have an international airport! The main point of interest is the castle, oh and the fact they sing German lyrics to the tune of God Save the Queen in their national anthem!

Italy

Cervia on the Adriatic coast is a great place to visit and very Italian, away from the hordes of British summer tourists!

San Marino

San Marino is an interesting place to visit. It is a landlocked enclave completely surrounded by Italy and claims to be the oldest sovereign state in the world. The drive up to the castle is stunning and weather unbelievable!

South Africa World Cup 2010

World Cup 2010 in South Africa was fantastic. The transport between the host cities wasn’t great but the actual stadiums themselves were amazing. Johannesburg is still very dangerous and not a great place to hang around but Durban and Cape Town are nice cities with good nightlife! All in all an amazing trip in which we got to see 4 World Cup matches live, the atmosphere was amazing!

Swaziland

Mbabane the capital of Swaziland is a bit of a dump and best worth avoiding! Whilst driving around the country we had to avoid stray animals in the road which made for an interesting road trip!!

Lesotho

The mountain ranges of Lesotho are unbelievable and the scenery at 3000 metres is spectacular. It’s a bit of a shock coming from the tropical climate of Durban to freezing temperatures and snow though! We even managed to have a beer in the highest pub in Africa!
