Background storey to the trip

As we clearly were not beamed into the middle of Romania, these first entries are to catch up with our journey so far:

"Do you want to come for walk?"
I closed the front door and took the first steps into the rest of my life.

Some years stick in your mind forever, without the need for diaries or calendars, you will always remember the date. 2014 is one of those years.

Having made the monumentous decisions to get married and take six months out, we now had to action these plans. So here we are; not so old and not so grey but definitely - out to play!

"Fay" our much loved little camper van would need some pampering and enhancements before undertaking her big adventure. Her spa days were booked and she enjoyed various oily treatments. Her petite size meant that her fuel tank was in proportion to her frame; she needed elective surgery to enhance that from A cup to D cup. Then Richard treated her to a full set of chunky, black footwear; no use wearing stilettos if you may be covering rough ground. For anyone interested Richard could bore you with all that manly, technical info, for me she's just Fay but better!
