So where are you going this time then?


Gail, I have noticed there have a been a lot of 'training rides' lately, and also much fiddling around with your touring bicycle. I surmise you are off again on a trip shortly. Is that so?

Indeed it is Bertie, I'm leaving tomorrow in fact.

And where are you headed this time?

[Bertie looks puzzled at the response].

Are you OK Gail? It sounded like you were being sick? Perhaps you had better stay home with me.

Silly Bertie, I was just listing the places where we'll be staying. Let me try again, more slowly this time. Dubrovnik and Molunat, Croatia; Bilica, Bosnia-Herzogovina; Niksic, Podgorica and Kotor, Montenegro; Shkoder, Albania. Got it?

Er, yes, OK, fine. But what about me?

Well Bertie, you will be just across the road with our neighbours Yvonne and Neil. Won't that be nice?

That's Neil who likes long walks and Yvonne who does lots of cooking and often gives me treats? Oh yes, that would be most acceptable. A big improvement on so-called "camp" for sure. In fact, YIPPEE! No need to hurry back Gail…

See you all in about two weeks.

    Crikey Bertie ... Sounds as if you are well set up. Hope Gail has a great time and it sounds as if you will too, aye? Just don't go getting fat with all those extra treats but I guess the long walks will take care of that. See you in a few weeks, aye?

    Sounds pawfect Bertue, make sure you take lots of treats with you and if Gail leaves an instruction manual makes sure you eat it first and then you can set your own rules!

    Have a good time Gail - take care on those strange roads. I think they drive on right !
    We know you'll have a good time Bertie, and will soon live down the pink dress ! Still, it was all in a very good cause.
    Happy Holidays to you both.

    Bertie, you've lucked out! If you can't accompany Gail through the Balkans....a mistake in our opinion, the neighbours sound perfect. Win-win situation.

    Bertie - Time to go out and buy Rebecca Wests Black Lamb and Grey Falcon. One of the best books ever written and the best guide to the south Slav lands.

      Thanks Angus, I read it last year. Fantastic book, although I failed to absorb all the detailed history. I'm curious to find out if Montenegro is as wild as she describes! Cheers; Gail.

    Hope you're having a great time at the neighbours Bertie! It sounds wonderful!
    Poor Gail, having to do all that cycling in those funny names though. What strange creatures people be. I hope she has a nice time anyway.

    Hi Bertie we hope you are enjoying your holiday and Gail is staying safe in all those places that quite frankly seem more easily pronounced with one's teeth are in back to front.
