10 oktober 2022 – Een hele poos terug al, sliepen we onze eerste nacht op Griekse bodem. We hadden de reismodus ingeruild voor ‘vanlifemodus’. We parkeerden vlakbij de stad Ioannina op de oever van een meer dat gewoon pure rust uitstraalde. We werden onthaald door twee grote loebassen van honden die vrij onstuimig met ons …
We didn’t know at all what to expect from Montenegro. But Albania is a different story. Although still relatively unknown, we already read many lyrical and praising comments about Albania online. Beautiful mountains, beautiful beaches and above all: cheap living and very reasonable restaurants. As you will read later in this post, Albania could not …
Van Montenegro wisten we totaal niet wat we er van mochten verwachten. Maar Albanië is wel een ander verhaal. Hoewel nog vrij onbekend, lazen we online toch al veel lyrische en lovende commentaren over Albanië. Prachtige bergen, mooie stranden en vooral: goedkoop leven en zeer schappelijke restaurants. Zoals je verder in deze post zal lezen, …
7 october 2022 The Kotor Serpentine takes you and your vehicle up to a fantastic view of Kotor. It is also the road to Lovcen National Park, although you can detour via Budva if you don’t feel like doing all the cornering, or if you are driving a long or heavy vehicle. The road has …
October 5, 2022 – The southern tip of Croatia got narrower and narrower and we approached Montenegro. To be honest, I only remember Montenegro from Eurosong, otherwise I had no idea where it was exactly. Between Croatia and Albania as it turns out! Our first country outside the EU, exciting… The border crossing was nothing …
Whoops, another two weeks later. So it’s high time for a new blog post. Before Dubrovnik we spent another night with part of the cyclist gang from Split between the olive trees next to a cemetery. Little glorious but cozy, and full of mosquitoes… The cyclists left us in the morning and we were again …
We really enjoyed our first night in Croatia. We decided to follow the coastal road, the E65, like almost every campervan or mobile home in Croatia. And in September there are many, especially, you’ll never guess, Germans! E65 may sound fast in Belgian terms, it is not. An ordinary 2-lane road that winds along the …
…Where were we? Oh yes, crossing the Slovenian border on September 26. The high wilderness of the Austrian Alps quickly gave way to the deep green hilly landscape of Slovenia. Sometimes Slovenia seems to be one big forest. Our first choice was to go to Bled, near the Triglav National Park. The disadvantage is that …
On September 17, the time had finally come: Nigel was ready to leave and all our affairs were in order, we could leave with peace of mind. That weekend, a final visit to Nikki’s family was scheduled. Just put the tires on the right pressure, they had forgotten that at the tire center, and then …
7 oktober 2022 De Kotor Serpentine neemt jou en je voertuig mee de hoogte in naar een fantastisch uitzicht over Kotor. Het is ook de weg naar het Lovcen National Park, al kan je omrijden via Budva als je geen zin hebt in al het bochtenwerk, of als je met een lang of zwaar voertuig …
