THE ADVENTURES OF SPLONK - PART 4

Thursday, July 5, 2012

Splonk is the mascot that joined Nicky West & Rob Stacey in their adventure to Asia in a 50 year old 850cc Mini Minor. The subject of forthcoming Veloce book Mini Minor to Asia Minor - There & Back.

That's it folks... all that's left a ancient Troy. Hmm...no sign of Brad Pitt tho'.

A quiet seat (at last!) in the Roman amphitheatre of Ephesus.

Syrian border closed, might have to sail to Egypt...think we need a bigger boat.

4. I give you the Bosphorus... where east meets west.


5. I've got a great idea...let's go by magic carpet.


What a nightmare... heading back to italy, chance of making of Egypt lookin' slim.
