Amazing things we have seen:

Church of bones in Czech Republic
Buildings with shrapnel and RPG holes in them in Bosnia
Croatian ultranationalist hospitality (note picture of Ante Gotovina in background http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/03/11/europe/hague.php)

I think I will write this all up soon and do a huge page anyway. So much to say and show. It truly blows you away and gives you a very different perspective on the UK! We are VERY lucky to have speed cameras in the UK!! Seriously! Our police are so lazy they let the cameras do the work whilst they eat donuts or whatever. The Bosnian Police and the Croatian police, and Slovenian police, were everywhere! They hide behind bushes with speed guns, all grey and green, no fluorescence or warning signs, and they bust you mercilessly! I saw 4 police cars in about 5 miles once we entered Croatia. In england you have way more freedom!

But we didn't get fined or point on our licence mind! And the police CB250 we saw wouldn't stand a chance if it came to a chace

What an amazing trip. So many countries, roads, people, languages, food. It has blown my mind. There are so many stories to tell, like failing to get into Serbia, dodging minefields in Bosnia, Getting hospitality from a Croatian hardliner who's war hero is in the Hague at the moment . List of best ever biking roads too! Don't know where to start. Here are a few photos Philbut DIDN't want you to see
Its interesting to see the philbut beard growth over the 2 weeks!

Brilliant road pics! Your camera must be pretty good cos my pics look total poo! I don't think 3 mega wotsists cuts it any more!

Regarding the holes in the buildings. I was actually there at the time those holes were being made.

Glad you all had a safe (just about) journey there and back. I do indeed look forward to listening to some of those stories at the camping weekend. Can't think of a better way to get to sleep.

Accidentally reversed a few tanks into buildings, did you?

I was thinking of you when we were there Si. I'd love to hear more about your experiences there, where you were and what happened.
