internet hell

Dear Friends and family,
we really do want to keep uap our blog but we have lost it - again - and again - this will indicate how. We are in the globe in Prague competing with a band and trying to get online. My PC battery is failing - we have no connections and our phones don't skype or even work. We can't access bank acounts friends or e-mail contacts easily. It rained - all day - hard - and shrunk John's hat!
We have much to tell you.
It has been hell - 0n wheels.
First though - we had great parties seeing our friends to say goodbye - they were great and we should do it again because we miss you. Can't post those photos - you - may be glaqd of that! We will try!
We spent two nights in Olney when we found out the water and power failed. We got stuck in the mud in Maindenhead and were puylled out by tractor. /we got over the Channel (by ferry) and got to Tournai. We found cold showers and went to Brussells and saw friens - very good! It was cold and the gas failed. I needn't tell you that it has been a close thing for John and me on several occasions even though he is a good steady driver and reasonable map-reader!
We are still together on account of the fact that I haven't got a suitcase big enough to take my books and clothes out of the van. This adventure will be the making of us. I hope to upload some pics but will upload this first so that you know we care about you all!
