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… […]
In Albania we missed the beautiful beaches near Saranda, also the lake Ohrid, on the border with Macedonia… We had the need to drive North so… it’s a pity, we will have to come back some other time! 🙂 So we drove in the direction of Durrësi and stayed in Mali i Robit, a family […]
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 […]
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 […]
This morning we went swimming in this beautiful oasis 🙂 But… look just behind there, they built a highway! What about the Environmental Impact Assessment?
Today we got up next to Julio from Sevilla and his T3, after a ‘Bulgarian wine night’ with 2 freaks talking about T3 (of course!), but also about what had happened in Balcans 25 years ago… Erik loves his back side 😛
Yesterday morning we met Stephan, our German neighbour in the camping. Heidi and Stephan are now retired and they love travelling. He has been shepherd for almost 25 years, what meant that he could not leave his farm for more than 3 days in a row. But before he had travelled a lot and now he […]
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 […]
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 […]
