All Points In Between

Is it a travel show? Sort of. Is it a history show? Sort of. Is it poorly recorded on a laptop mic in the back of a van? You bet it is!

Yes, I was going to finish writing the Tomorri episode. But I got distracted.

While listening on headphones I was yelling out @trashfuture.bsky.social quiz answers to try and win the lightning round. Now everybody in Delphi thinks I have a weird British Tourettes.

But I did score 26. Will I be allowed back in?

I'm pleased to see Albania also has Umarells.

Today's trek was up the holy mountain Tomorr. It plays the same role in Albanian folklore as Olympus does in Greek, the home of the Gods.

Unfortunately, Albanian Zeus was unavailable to do a podcast interview.

Starting a photo collection I'm calling Albanian vehicles in unexpected places.

Some more photos of the Theth Mountain Guiding service.

Payment for 4 hours of mountain guiding. It's a pretty reasonable price.

Theth, Albania. A town where the mountain guiding industry has been monopolised by the local dogs.

They just latch on to anybody they see in hiking gear to go on walkies, and they know all the trails like the back of their paw.

Up in Theth for the weekend to do a bit of walking.

@number10cat.bsky.social ever considered an ambassadorship? The consulate in Kotor needs somebody who can connect with the locals.

More Kotor cats 😍

Kotor. The town that exists seemingly just to serve cats.

Back home.

The towing company called to say they'd overcharged me and sent me a 70€ refund. Croatia's nice like that.

I usually get a breakdown that requires unexpected stops once every 6 months. So hopefully I've got it out of the way early this time.

On to Albania. 🇦🇱

Oh no, the sky has ripped free of its moorings and the void is now visible.

Of all the places to get stuck waiting for a van repair, Split is quite a good one.

Caught in the middle of a cat stand off in Split.

Ever hear the saying "always wear clean underwear, because you might get hit by a car and end up in a hospital gown?"

I'd like to add "remember to close the toilet hatch after peeing. You don't know when you'll get towed, and the whole van will end up stinking of turds."

Time for an impromptu holiday in Split.

As I was driving on the motorway in the rain I started to think "is it me or are my window wipers getting slower?" The nearest garage was 45km away and I tried to limp Abbie there. But all the electrics died, followed shortly after by the engine.

New Year hangover day completed. Back to driving.

Heading down one of the world's great touring routes. The Dalmatian Coast.

Parked up in Starigrad. Continuing south tomorrow.

My dunk Englishman bat signal activated, and I drew in Steve and Pat.

After explaining my lifestyle, Steve said "I mean this in a nice way, but you're just a nerd who's a bit obsessed with hiking and history. You've also got a weird, high-pitched voice."

Tell you what though. They throw a good New Year party in Ljubljana. Highly recommend.

No travel posts today. It's -6c and I'm hung over. So today is a duvet day.

Happy Slovenian New Year :D

Happy new year from Ljubljana. Boogieing down by the river to a bit of Bello Ciao.

No Pasaran :D

Good news, I made it down the death drive.

Abbie was a star, even with a whimpering fool behind the wheel. In honour of our survival, the next episode will be on the history of Ljulbijana. From Jason and Medea to the UK Garage night I'm going to later.

Until then, happy new year. No Pasaran!

It's a shame I can't stay a little longer. Once the clouds come back they'll bring a dumping of snow that makes the whole mountaintop great for snowshoeing.

But I had to head back. Firstly to do the death drive from the campsite to the main road. Then to my park up in Ljubljana for NYE.
