We woke up this morning to grey clouds but decided that we would go ahead with our visit to Krka National Park anyway (besides which Chris, who we met in Hungary, had said it was a fabulous visit, so we didn’t want to miss it).  Maybe the miserable (or...

We’re starting to slow down now as we relax into holiday mode.  Each stay is becoming a little longer and just that little bit harder to tear ourselves away. We’ve come to the conclusion that we don’t see ourselves as fulltiming in our motorhome (even just for 6 month...

2 reasons to move on today: No more spots available for camping Weather has turned miserable As you know we have been keeping a keen eye on weather and managing to just (only just!) stay ahead of the not-so-great weather.  With the clouds closing in and the wind howling,...

We woke up, the sun was shining – it was time to move on again if we are ever to reach Greece in decent weather.  We set the GPS to Krk Town on Otok Krk (Island Krk, pronounced Kerk) having decided to skip Pula on the south coast of...

After leaving Postoyna Caves we couldn’t make our minds up whether to head for the Slovenian coast or the Croatian coast.  Left or right?  Right or left?  We were a little unsure about visiting the Istrian penisular in Croatia as we’d heard mixed reports about it. Left or right? ...

With both lakes so busy – heaving, in fact! – we have decided that, as we’re definitely coming back to Slovenia in the (near!) future, that we’d skip these out but a quick visit was required to have a look for ourselves and to get some photos.  Both are...

OMG, turn off that light!!!!!  We woke up to bright sunshine but terribly hungover and just a little babelaas bang (this is a South African saying when you have a hangover and you’re really, really jumpy!).  So when Garmin said it was 3.5 hours to Lake Bohinj (pronounce: Lake...

So, just in case you haven’t watched the video on the previous posting, here are some shots of the drive that we did over the mountains from Ljubljana to Tolmin.  It was spectacular!  But as someone who gets vertigo standing on a thick carpet, just a l-i-t-t-l-e stress (ok,...
