Our plans to travel to Italy, Greece and the eastern bloc countries have now been postponed until 2016. This June we have the opportunity to spend three weeks in Japan, travelling with Rita and Brian Shell as they visit their son, Jonny, who works in Hong Kong and has a house in Hokkaido. This means we will have less time to travel in Europe so the plan is to drive south until we find somewhere warm where we would like to stay for a week or so.
