  • Day 30 – Trogir to Dubrovnik

    Day 30 – Trogir to Dubrovnik

    Another travel day today. 250km to cover. We have a space pre-booked at the Solitudo Camp Site in Durbrovnik, the only camp site, that we could see, in the town. There was no particular rush to get packed and on the road, so Sue went for a double whammy… an early morning run, followed by…

  • Day 29 – Trogir

    Day 29 – Trogir

    A quiet day again today, though we headed into Trogir on the 8am ferry for an early mooch around and some breakfast. It was a hot night again with temperatures only dipping into the 20’s late in the night. And the idiot behind us decided it would be a good idea to blow his paddle…

  • Day 28 – Bike Ride on Ciovo

    Day 28 – Bike Ride on Ciovo

    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 an early start…

  • Day 27 – Trogir

    Day 27 – Trogir

    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 and is evaporated…

  • Day 26 – Travel to Trogir

    Day 26 – Travel to Trogir

    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 we called the…

  • Day 25 – Plitvice Lakes and Waterfalls

    Day 25 – Plitvice Lakes and Waterfalls

    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 World Heritage Site…

  • Day 24 – Another Rest Day

    Day 24 – Another Rest Day

    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 5 pitches used…

  • Day 23 – Travel to Plitvice Lakes

    Day 23 – Travel to Plitvice Lakes

    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 left Slovenia behind…

  • Day 22 – Lake Bled

    Day 22 – Lake Bled

    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 that camp site…

  • Day 21 – Travel to Lake Bled

    Day 21 – Travel to Lake Bled

    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, were registered for…
