Calvin Klein body branding (plus the obvious tan line that is no more after buff bathing in Croatia)

Hungary? Don't worry we're near some Turkey!
Now you can appreciate what Bethan has to put up with. I have almost managed to send her insane with my puns (Dobber Dan is Topup Tan, etc).
We're in Hungary at the moment. Arrived at the only campsite in Pecs at about 8pm to find it shut with tumbleweed blowing through the derelict buildings. Another night sleeping with one eye open for either cops or robbers.
Before Pecs we spent some time in Mostar, Bosnia. Walked the most famous bridge in europe and wondered around the turkish quater. We were mainly struck by the war ravaged buildings but the coffee was great. Bethan bought a russian doll and i bought another pipe. Not very Bosnian.
Started setting each other weekly challenges of which mine was to remember the campsites and bethan had to buy something tacky for 1 euro (believe it or not the have "euroland" and "everthing for a euro" shops throughout europe). Anyway we want to broaden this out so if anyone feels sadistic enough to set us a challenge please feel free. Another plea ... we bought a pack of cards with us but can only remember poker or snap. Can someone please help us out and let us know some other card games. The last game of poker (after a bottle of wine and having used up all the matches) led me to gamble everthing i own on one hand (which i've always wanted to do). I lost. But nevermind it was only to Bethan.
We're off to a Hungarian thermal spring.

Is it Gray Mears or Gray Hasselhoff? (read on...)
Gray is a man of many talents. He has perfected the art of predicting the weather... we are the most sorted on the campsites when a 'storms a coming'; Graham is there before the downpour even starts - one look at the sky and it's done. This has come in handy on more than one occasion. The latest was this week on Hvar island, true to form his powers were revealed and in the process became the saviour of the campsite. Gray saved a Danish tent from being storm blasted to the amazement of the onlooking Germans, who, the next day donned him as the 'hero'. So David Hasslehoff now has some competition.
Another talent Graham has found is the art of pipe playing. He has mastered three tunes 1. The Welsh National Anthem 2. Danny Boy and 3. Cockeye's theme (from Once Upon a Time in America). A random but pleasant mix.
And lastly...Gray is starting to show signs of his Nordic ancestory. He has admitted to wanting to buy a pair of Speedos and is well into buff bathing (yes that's nudist to you and me)...
more german exploits soon and maybe a chance for Graham to finally get on the computer to get his own back and tell a few tales of Bethan's exploits. It seems that our relationship has come to this ... threatening each other with putting stuff on the blog. Oh the computer age!
By the way Hvar is utopia and having an amazing time...B&Gx (but more of B than G!)

Bog!
(hi in Croat!). Yes, we've zipped over the border into Croatia, where I promise we are now going to slow down... we've done a country a week for the past 3, but we're going to chill out on the Dalmatia coast.
Pictures are not exactly themed as promised, more pretty random but a pleasant retrospective from Spain and France.
We spent our entire weekly budget on a blow out meal in Venice - went back to ca pisani , a hotel/restuarant we went to about 3 years ago - but it was worth every penny (thanks to visa).
audrey ripped her skirt in a freak thunder storm and had her first leak. Bethan's sewing skills were put to the test, we stitched her up best we could.. but she now has lots of 'natural' air vents.
Forgot to tell you, Gray had his 1st road rage in Monte Carlo... almost got into a fight with a French lorry driver but I managed to pacify him.
We're both still in one piece although Gray has bought himself a hat to hide his bald patch... ( long hair and balding, not a great look!!). All pictures will no doubt feature his hat from here on in.
