Nature/Landscape
Nature
Driving through Bosnia-Herzegovina
We wanted to pass Croatia without the traffic jams from the coast side, so we drove through small roads from Bosnia, crossing very beautiful landscapes, but mainly empty of life. We saw many many destroyed houses, and the Balkans war was 25 years ago! After watching the movie ‘A perfect day’ we understand better why […]
Driving through Montenegro
In Montenegro we drove through its coast (touristic but very beautiful) and went to find the Kotor bay. We slept in a camping place near Perast, by the water. The water looked very nice but in the moment you were swimming it was becoming greasy around you. We don’t know if because of the large […]
Driving through Albania
Albania used to be the poorest country in Europe. Now it’s turn for Moldova. It has a population of almost 3 million people, and it covers an area of 28.748 km2 (so a bit smaller than Catalonia). There were no cars some years ago (it was forbidden until 1991!). Now it’s full of Mercedes Benz… […]
Gjirokastra
Gjirokastra is a Unesco World Heritage town with one of the biggest castles in the Balkans and 600 Ottoman houses with characteristic grey roofs placed in the hill. We slept near this town, in the brand new camping place just opened a few days before. The castle contains many weapons and even a shot-down US […]
Plitvička lakes and waterfalls
From waterfall to waterfall… Avoiding the overcrowded Croatian coast meant driving through mountains, what Patrick specially likes. Julio was coming from Croatia and told us about these waterfalls so it was a perfect place to visit in our way back home. Plitvička is indeed a National Park and Unesco Heritage (Erik complained that everywhere was […]
Kravice waterfalls
This morning we went swimming in this beautiful oasis 🙂 But… look just behind there, they built a highway! What about the Environmental Impact Assessment?
Waking up this morning
Driving through Greece
Greece is not that small (132.000 km2, 11 milion people), and with many and high mountains, so difficult to drive through when you don’t have that much time… For the next hesptrip we need to take at least one year, to spend 3-4 weeks in every country! 😛 We drove through the highway from Bulgaria to […]
Greek monasteries
And of course after Bulgaria we were missing to visit some monasteries… 😛 There is a very special place in the North of Greece called Meteora, where we spent out last night before passing to Albania. Meteora means something like “middle of the sky” or “suspended in the air”. In IX century some monks decided to […]
