Post Views: 47 End of week 4… 4 weeks away! Because of the heat, at least that’s how it feels to us, we’ve had a quiet day, just cycling out to a quiet cove for a dip, first thing. The temps are still in the mid 30’s during the day, so we decided to make…

Post Views: 19 First full day on the island of Ciovo and we decided to take the ferry to Trogir. We’d both had a very hot and sweaty night last night. Temperatures stayed in the high 20’s until around 3am, so we were both very glad of our swamp-cooler fans… Water goes in the top…

Post Views: 20 Not really much to report today. We’d packed up the van last night, so we were away from the Bear, Plitvice campsite by 8:45, once we’d had some brecky! It was then just a question of knocking out the 240km to Trogir. Once we’d got an hour or so under our belt…

Post Views: 31 Strap yourselves in… there’s going to be a lot of water today! Plitvice Falls – highly recommended, one of the highlights of the trip We had a reasonably early start this morning as we were cycling the 6km to Plitvice Lakes and had a 10-11 entrance time. The lakes are a UNESCO…

Post Views: 34 Not much to write about today. We just hung about the campsite, did some washing, sorted out where we’re going on Friday (Trogir) and a quick trip up to the Tommy SuperMarket just up the road (and what seemed to be endless €1 shops). The Bear campsite really emptied this morning, just…

Post Views: 33 It’s another travel day. 1460 miles on the odometer before we left. Sue had another run this morning as she realized she could have run the 6k all the way around the lake… just had to be done. (Apologies before we get into the post… this is a very boring one!) We’ve…

Post Views: 52 Quiet day today. Sue started the day with a run to the other side of Lake Bled and back… … And once she got back, and showered, we had a slow amble back around the lake to the water sports centre, where the main Camping Bled site is located. The cafe outside…

Post Views: 42 Well that didn’t turn out quite the way we expected. You’ve just gotta go with the flow sometimes. Having adjusted our plans and torn down the van ready for a big downpour, it didn’t arrive. So we packed up anyway and headed out. We’d booked Winkl thinking we were booking 3 nights,…

Post Views: 51 Today was going to be a rest day. But…. the weather is looking rubbish in this area for tomorrow and the day after, so we decided to go for it and get the bus to Königssee and the lake.… and… a near disaster! Even with the change of plans we had a…

Post Views: 70 Wow! The day started in minimalist mode at the Winkl-Landthal campsite where we’d left the van in a minimalist mode over night, to make a quick get away. We had wound the awning back in the night before and hadn’t even slept in the pop top. That meant we could skedaddle really…
