Wow - a warm, sunny and dry day. To celebrate I broke out the summer gloves. A (relatively) short ride to Dubrovnik, and the first night spent in the tent.

In a moment of weakness on a particularly wet and windy day in Croatia I pulled into a petrol station, spotted a Suzuki Vitara 4x4 and thought, hmm, that would be a good way to get to Vladivostok. Then at the campsite I was looking at a caravan and thought, hmm, that's a good way to go camping. I thought this trip might be life-changing, but surely I'm not going to turn into a caravanner?
