JayKay in Europe

Karen & John managed to pick their way around the floods of Czech republic and Austria and made their way to the somewhat drier Slovenia and Italy. They have seen many beautiful sights in Italy and spent a week in Rome. The nights have been drawing in and some of the campsites are now closed for the season. They plan to fly home from Italy, probably from Napoli around the third week of October. Their equipment continues to be reliable and for the statisticians amongst you their distance travelled is now 9600Km; Cycled 6500Km, Ferries 2000 Km, Trains 800Km, & Car 300Km.Ian S.

You can read more about their journey and see lots of pictures (please be patient while they load up) at http://www.2into4.org.uk/jaykay/
