Today we drove from Croatia into Slovenia. We were quite excited that we got a Croatian exit stamp and Slovenian entry stamp in our passports without even having to ask this time.  It was raining for some of the journey but we have been so lucky – if it rains, it is generally (apart from in Bosnia) on one of our bigger driving days so it doesn't really impact our plans. The countryside was quite spectacular during the car journey.  We stopped at N...

We still felt pretty exhausted after yesterday so we had a bit of a sleep in and a slow morning. In fact, after a bit of face timing, we actually didn't get out of bed until about 10am! Just what we needed! Kate reckons we need a weekend to have a break from travelling! Eventually we left the house and drove 1 hour to Paklenica National Park. The forecast for today was heavy wind and then later on some rain so weren’t quite sure how the day was going to pan...

Today we drove from Mostar back into Croatia. And we finally got a stamp in our passport for exiting Bosnia – Calvin asked the border control officer and she was very friendly and obliging and gave us the stamp! When we arrived at our accommodation in Lozovac, the owner's mother (we assume) let us in. She didn’t speak English but we got the gist of what she was telling us. Later on, as we were eating our leftover cevaps and borek outside the house in ...

After yesterday's downpour, we were blessed with sunshine and a hot 20 degree day! Not bad for Europe on the 2nd day of Spring. It was a relatively late start today but it was nice to have a bit of a lie in. Once we finally got ourselves ready by 10:30 am, we left to go to Kravice Waterfall. It was about a 40 minute drive to the waterfall back towards the Croatian border. We went on another one of those narrow winding European roads up the mountain and down the o...

This morning we drove from Dubrovnik to Mostar (the cultural capital of Herzegovina). For the first hour of the drive it poured with rain! We went through 3 very uneventful border crossings (to get in and out of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina a few times) - they barely took a second look at us, let alone our passports! Missed out on a potential 6 passport stamps! We reached Mostar at about midday - it was very interesting to see. We could see lots of war torn...
