It was a very dull rainy morning so we didn’t hurry to get going. First job was to pick up beer from the small Maister craft brewery that we visited. We went over the river and it was truly in spate after all the rain we have had. When we got on our way and…

It was very cloudy as we left Bohinj. Glenn captured the mountain tops with his new camera. We enjoyed the interesting roads through the villages – some extremely narrow between the houses – not designed for motorhomes or trucks. We drove past Lake Bled – much quieter on a rainy Monday morning than a sunny…

We had a rude interruption at 3am when another van arrived and squeezed in between us and the next door van. There was lots of space elsewhere but they wanted to hook up to electricity. There were lots of pacing around on the gravel for an hour until they got settled. Glenn then got up…

We got going early for the exciting drive to Slovenia. The Belgian group of young teenagers were getting up late. They were very quiet last night – us oldies were the ones who stayed up until 10.30 talking. There was an old castle with city walls as we left the town of Gmund to get…

We started the day with a very calm swim in the swimming lake. It was only us – so it was quite lovely with no ripples. Site checkout was 11am so we had 2 hours to kill before our 1pm appointment at the repair shop. This was to get the fridge working on gas –…

We arrived at the Motorhome repairers in the morning and were told to come back at 2pm as the technician would have time then. So we found a wildlife refuge to check out on River Lech. It was hot again today so it was hard to see any wildlife but Glenn could work out the…

We got going early and first checked out the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber established by the Celts around 0 AD. There has been a lot of fighting over the years but also wealth through crafts and trade so there are lots of defensive structures. We loved the walkway along the top of…

In the morning we had a wander around the town of Thungersheim and found an art exhibition on in a very old building from the 1400s. The art was a bit interesting- very blobby. The building was more interesting. One room was dedicated to local artist George Anton Urlaub from the 1740s who did many…
