I&#8217;ll be honest: the eastern countries in Europe don&#8217;t massively excite us, and we&#8217;re having to force ourselves to get in there and see them again.\u00a0There&#8217;s also a bit of travel fatigue kicking in: we&#8217;ve stayed in 600 places now, and have seen seemingly\u00a0every kind of church, mosque, castle, cave, sea, river, forest, mountain, river, desert, cemetery and city Europe has to offer. Or have we? I don&#8217;t know, I guess despite the fact we&#8217;re unemployed nomads, we still get knackered.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21203\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21203\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21203\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00557-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Heading north through Slovenia today\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00557-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00557-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00557-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heading north through Slovenia today<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our eventual conclusion was: we&#8217;d stick to the original plan, but move faster.
