Slovenia & Croatia

Sorry for the delay but we are back in Italy now...internet is rare here!

Our last trip has been the best!  We visited Slovenia first where we stayed in a very nice campsite named Camping Bled which is right next to Lake Bled.  The Lake is known for its small island in the middle (apparently the only island in the country) which has a small communitiy living upon it and a beautiful church popping out of it!

We then headed further south to the famous caves Postojna Jama where we explored via train and foot throught the 5km of limestone caves.  Plus, we learnt of the Human Fish (a cave dwelling salamander), that was discovered in the cave...look it up, its so cool!

After this, we headed for Predjama Grad which is a castle that was built inside of a cave entrance.  It was really cool to see but unfortanatly we were too late to go inside it for the tour.

Off to Croatia! We spent the first day driving through treacherous forest roads and passing a surprising amount of abandoned houses and we nearly hit a suicidal deer, if that wasnt enough to unnerve us, then the warning signs for bears and wolves certainly were! After staying at the Belle Vue Hotel we spent a wonderful day at Plitvice Lakes, which were amazing, and a great way to end our trip!

Photos coming soon! To those who don't already know, our ferry is on the 6th of May so you can expect us back then!

See you all Soon

Disaster in France....and Barcelona!!

First thing first.....we had a bit of a disaster in Nice.  We checked out of the hotel and walked back to where our car was parked only to find that it wasn't there anymore! Luckily a lady walking her dogs saw what had happened and told us that some police had towed it! Apparently we were parked in a 'No Parking Zone' although there weren't any signs that actually said this!  She told us where to go and it cost us a long bus ride and a hefty fine to get the car back....but he is safely with us now!!

We set off the next day for Spain and have spent the night in a lovely little hotel in Castelldefels.  Today we journeyed into Barcelona where we shopped down 'La Rambla', which is the most famous street in Barcelona.  We also saw the 'Sagrada Familia' and a few other Gaudi buildings that where dotted around the city.  We enjoyed some Tapas and Paella by the docks, and a cheeky cocktail and ice cream.

Due to the unfortunate car incident, we have decided to head back to Italy a little sooner as we had a set budget for the trip.  We will be heading back tomorrow so there may not be much blog activity in the next week or so!
