It´s a tough slog and although Edgar managed to ring for a while it ended all too soon with no warning. So now we are hoping that Linda may be able to do something from home-NESS: (Tues, 7-7) We walked down to use the internet at the local hotel. No contact from the only Slovenian community member. Lorenz´s phone is now out of credit, we seem to be unable to use local phones for international calls, the hotel will only let us if we check in.

We need to see if we can get parts sent from the UK; or get a cheap flight home and get the bike picked up by Lorenz´s sister who runs aid out to Romania.

Hoping it will be the former but no email contact details for Alan at Gravel Rash in Shipley to check for parts, no email contact for Edgar who may be able to confirm or deny Lorenz´s ideas regarding the spark issues, and having no luck phoning anyone.

It´s a tough slog and although Edgar managed to ring for a while it ended all too soon with no warning. So now we are hoping that Linda may be able to do something from home- if not it will be a tragic end to our first Europe trip, ending with a cheap flight home!

Will get back onto the net tonight we hope at one of the mechanic´s houses. We´ll keep you posted.
