    Well done Maree--reversing when you only have side mirrors is bad enough when you know where to go--but the real challenge is translating their hand signals & words for left or right & figuring out where they want JimJim to park!

    Those kinda crossings across a river are very common at the Elbe in Saxony.
    Good thing your motorcycle is electric so you won't have..."grease" on your hands while traversing Greece (ba dam tss!)
    Love to see Maree developing her driving skills! You really notice it from episode to episode.
    Also if you ever need content for a "rainy day", I always wondered about the "Paperwork" around your world tour like do you not have a registration address? That kinda stuff seems very interesting as well to me!
    Safe travels!

    Hey Maree, might be a good idea to create some clearance in the trunk so you can see the back of the car when you reverse. You can also get extra extensions for your mirrors so you get a wider view of your blind spots. Really useful for someone isn’t that great a reversing (like myself)!
    Enjoy Corfu!

      I found the glass comment interesting (being a science teacher - but mainly Bio) so did some research: Glass blocks UV-B not UV-A. However sometimes (at least windscreens) are treated to block UV-A too. either way, a small percentage does penetrate so you can get sunburn if exposed long enough. Most often the other windows are not treated and you will burn quicker at the side. I have experienced this on my arms.
