Reaching Finland was a major milestone for us and also a wonderful opportunity to visit our best friends ...

Estonia was our last country before we hit Scandinavia. Nothing was going to stop us now!

We were delighted at Latvia's capital city, Riga. Our visit coincided with one by George Bush

We passed through Lithuania rapidly due to inclement weather. Main regret: not seeing the Jimi Hendrix statue in Vilnius

We found Poland's harsh history and bitterly cold climate to be quite severe. Krakow was delightful, having survived the wars intact

We passed very briefly through Slovakia, which failed to impress

Hungary was a fascinating place with a harrowing history. We have long wanted to visit Budapest - and the city did not disappoint

Slovenia was small, but perfectly formed. Definitely a "pretty" country. It took us only 3 days to pass through, even though we veered off the beaten track.

Croatia is simply outrageously beautiful. A highlight of our travels was a walk along the walls of the old town of Dubrovnik, which hides its many war scars well

Montenegro has it all ... mountains, lakes and sea ... and apparently a fair amount of carcenoma from the depleted uranium ammunition used in "the war". It is a hauntingly beautiful little fragment of country populated by a broken nation

We only visited Albania for one day, so our opinion of this country was not a fair one.

(The former Yugoslav Republic of) Macedonia boasts some magnificent lakeland and mountain scenery, but is still too far off the beaten track to receive many foreign tourists

Greece was the perfect place to recharge our batteries literally and figuratively. We did not explore far - because we could not get compulsory third-party insurance for our vehicle - but the parts we saw along the Aegean Sea were gorgeous and the people so nice! So we nested and rested, waiting for the European winter to pass - and the road to Nordkapp to re-open ...

Turkey is wonderful: a mix of ancient and modern; east and west; hot and (currently) cold. The cold weather affected our camera (and our fingers), so there aren't as many pictures as we would have liked ...

Although Jordan is relatively small, it has some world-famous sites, including the stunning desert landscapes of Wadi Rum and the ancient city of Petra, carved out of solid rock

Our brief stay in Syria was overshadowed by the assassination of Rafik Hariri in neighbouring Syrian-controlled Lebanon. We did not linger longer ...

Egypt is such a fascinating country that we have officially become residents for six months. Actually that was the only way we could apply for our Syrian visas, necessary for our onward journey. It's a great country.

The severity of the Sudanese countryside was amply compensated by the hospitality of the people, who were friendly, but not too friendly. We were left in peace when we wanted privacy ... a rare luxury after Ethiopia !

Ethiopia is a very different part of Africa. Forget all the stereotypes that you might have of the place ... it's full of amazing people and food ! The begging children, however, are from hell ...

We enjoyed Kenya thoroughly and managed to visit all the Rift Valley Lakes, with the exception of the tiny, inaccessible one just south of Lake Turkana. The Rift Valley really comes alive in Kenya ! Nairobi was pleasantly civilized - and we did not experience any of its supposedly notorious crime

We loved Uganda - especially the fact that the people were friendly - but not too friendly. It has been the only country where we could stop at the side of the road and eat lunch in peace. It was also really great touching base with our friends, the Cambridges, again

Rwanda was not a feel-good country. It is, however, one of the best places to visit the Mountain Gorillas

We made a brief day-trip - on foot - to the town of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to view the results of the fairly recent volcanic eruption. We were not hassled at all and felt perfectly safe. The situation has, of course, changed drastically since then ...

We revelled in and on the mountains, volcanoes, national parks, beaches, deserts and Rift Valley lakes of Tanzania ... a destination that has it all

A trip to Zanzibar is a must! We enjoyed staying in a hotel for the first time on our trip. We timed our visit to coincide with a music and film festival, the "Festival of the Dhow Countries" so there were lots of interesting visitors and activities

After wild Mozambique, we found friendly Malawi a little too tame. We entered Malawi again via a tiny, unmanned border post in north-east Zambia. That time we had to drive all the way to Mzuzu to complete immigration formalities

We enjoyed going off the beaten track in Zambia, skirting the South and North Luangwa National Parks along roads which at times were nothing more than bicycle tracks and through villages that had not seen vehicles - or Mzungus - for a very long time!

Mozambique was a fascinating country. We travelled all the way to the north and enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the historical Mozambique Island

We visited the mountain kingdom of Lesotho for one day just to experience the amazing Sani Pass - up and down !

South Africa is, as the tourist brochures say, a world in one country ... but we wanted to see more
