Austria - Slovenia - Croatia

Hello peepys!

The morning we woke up in our hostel in Villach we were very surprised to see snow all around us. I was first afraid of having problems getting down to the valley with the car, but that went without any problems. We left the hostel around eight o’clock and drove to Slovenia, to the capital Ljubljana. It was a very beautiful city, but not very big, so after we walked around and had a drink we continued the road. From the freezing cold in the mountains we went to 17 degrees under a nice sun… which was nice.
We decide to go straight to Zagreb and spend the night there, just before the Croatian border we found a very beautiful river… although it looked very cold we couldn’t resist to jump in the water.
Around 5 o’clock we arrived in the capital of Croatia, we were very lucky to find a parking spot very near the center. A youth hostel we found within half an hour.
Through a friend in Germany we met with a nice Croatian couple, it was kind of a blind date but then with two groups. They took us to a Belgian bar… yep, we drank ‘Tripel Karmeliet’, ‘Rodenbach’ , ‘Kwak’ and ‘Vedett’ in the middle of Zagreb. The couple liked it too, because for the first time there they got some proper information about the beers. After the Belgian pub they took us to a karaoke bar… A crowded place, and everyone who was on stage could sing for real… and all of that in Croatian language. Nevertheless we signed up with ‘Gloria gayner – I will survive’, as you could guess, we were a straight hit!
After a short nights sleep we taught it was time for some culture and did a city tour, Zagreb is amazing, every bar, restaurant and terras is always full. From the morning ten o’clock until very late at night. We started thinking who works here…. Croatian people are extremely friendly, the most friendly people you can think about. And although I don’t want to look, but I can’t help it… the girls are beautiful… but again, I’m not looking, you know me!




In the afternoon we decided to go to Zadar, spend the night there and then follow the coastline to Split, Dubrovnik… and then straight to mainland Greece where we will take the ferry. Maybe we’ll check out Montenegro, but we’ll just drive trough Albania.
The way to Zadar was… amazing, words can’t describes the views you have here. Valleys, water, waterfalls, the most beautiful nature I’ve ever seen in my life. And then… after a long drive trough the valleys we were just in time to see a piece of the coast side in the late evening light. It looks very promising.

Last night we kept everything calm, found a youth hostel and had a good night rest. In the morning we went to the see the city of Zadar. Again a very beautiful place, the most special thing I saw were long shaped stairs downwards the see. Every series of stairs are linked to a system of pipes. Inside the pipes are some ‘special’ things, as a result you here the see playing the tubes. Just take a look at the pictures.




See you later guys, I will now go and enjoy a nice beer in Split.
