Atilla (Hungarian/Romanian), Sayuri (Japanese) and Ben (French) have been very welcoming!

My regret for the day - I appear to have left my breakfast/tupperware and spork drying in the sun at this morning's campsite - upsetting when I leave stuff behind accidentally and have to buy replacements, especially as these have been traveling with me for 10 years or so! 🙁
