Matilda on Tour - 60 Days on the Road
Sixty days on the road — the rhythm has settled, the surprises haven’t. As we head into the final stretch, it still feels like there’s more to discover
As we head into the last 30 days of this amazing trip, I find myself asking a few questions.
How has it really felt? Where has stood out the most? And where do we go from here?
I don’t think I have the answers yet.
Sixty days on the road is long enough for the trip to stop feeling like a holiday and start feeling like a way of life. Moving on, settling in, and choosing where next — it’s all just part of the rhythm now.
And then there’s that quiet thought that creeps in sometimes… maybe we’ve seen it all.
But just as quickly, the next place arrives — and it’s wow all over again.
Heading back north has been incredible too. Spring arriving around us — warmer days, longer evenings — and everything feels different again.
Moving back into Slovenia, we noticed the change straight away. Cleaner, more orderly — a different feel altogether. The contrast stands out. Fewer rough edges, everything just feels a little more settled.
The cost of living has shifted too. Not a surprise — we knew it would — but you feel it all the same.
Somewhere along the way, the practical side settles as well. We’ve averaged about £90 a day, which feels pretty good for the life we’re living out here.
Would we do 90 days again? Probably — but maybe differently.
Where would we go? Who knows. That is half the fun.
What have we learnt? Slow down. Stay longer. Change plans when it feels right.
Thirty days still feels like a gift. Time to explore a little more, follow the weather, linger where it feels right, and enjoy this last stretch without rushing it.
