Things I wonùt miss:
- hand washing
- making my bed
- sleeping in a single bed
- carrying my bags
- broken glass (which inevitably means erratic swerving to avoid, normally at the expense of the poor 18 wheeler coming up my rear!!)
- carrying passport, sleeping with passport, carrying wallet, sleeping with wallet

What I have gone through:
- 1 spoke
- 1 front tyre
- 3 back tyres
- 6 flat tyres
- 2 pumps

Total days in Europe:
132 riding days
65 days off + 8 more days (St Cannat and Paris)

9 countries (Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Liechenstein, Luxembourg) and not counting England and Scotland!! Trains only in Italy, Austria and Germany, excluding France to get to Paris!!! And Switzerland with no Princess.

Highs - meeting some pretty amazing people and having some of the most brilliant experiences
Lows - my Grandad

Endured: rain, thunderstorms, lightening, wind, iceglaciers, highs in high 30s, lows in the negatives
