Well, actually managed to get fully up to date today. Enjoyed the mountain road bits especially and I'm totally in agreement, mountains are great places to be!
I spent a lot of the first episodes with a growing niggle of, "hang on a minute, what's the point?!" Then got to the bit where you stayed with your uncle; ahhhhh! But I can't help but think that much of the journey seemed like a bit of a chore, covering all the mileage and only stopping for fuel and to overnight. I guess you had time constraints that made this necessary, which was a shame, cos I kept thinking, "go off the beaten track, go and feckin explore somewhere, go to an interesting museum, spend a day in a historic city, what the hell are (aren't) you doing!??" :lol
But you managed to keep me watching, cos quite clearly, you are totally off your rocker
The other thing I got to thinking (so now that's two thoughts, so I'll have to have a lie down) was, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a camera mounted higher up, perhaps on some kind of vertical pole, and pointing a bit sideways, to catch some of the scenery a bit more? Hmmmm, could be worth a try?
Anyway, thanks for keeping me entertained for a day of my enforced six weeks off with bugger all to do - still got two weeks to go, how about another 30 or so episodes?
