Two weeks of holiday, which was amazing and long waited for, and now back to madness, back to work.
We drove by car to Croatia which was amazing. On the way down we got the late ferry to Calais and slept for few hours in Northern France.
Then drove strait to Slovenia, with few breaks, and about 10pm stopped in a hotel just outside Ljubljana. We were in a hurry, as we want it to spend few days with my sister before she and her kids left back for Macedonia. We spend four amazing days together, where everyday we when to and visited different locations on the Northern part of the Croatian Adriatic. We were all staying with family friends in Rijeka, which is a beautiful old city. These all area is beautiful and has incredible history.
After our 9 days in Rijeka we made our move and drove via visit to Postojnska jama and Ljubljana, to BLED and Bohinjsko jezero, two beautiful lakes in the South Alps.
Here we found a nice quite campsite and stayed for two nights.
On Thursday morning we got waken up by the bad storm and poring rain and we decide it was time to move on. We drove to Austria and found another campsite up on the northwest corner and the boarder with Germany, small beautiful place called St Johan’s.
On Friday morning drove through the a poring rain, through Germany where the temperature just changed from 30 to 12 degrees Celsius and felt like we when from nice hot summer strait to winter in less then five hours. This was a horrible wet day we drove through Germany without stopping; we stayed in a motel just outside Saarbrücken.
On Saturday morning after a small breakfast we drove to Valenciennes where we met with my friends, (which I met through my residency, and when to Adeline’s parents for gorges dinner. We eat so much that was impossible to move, we had a five course dinner… didn’t know I can eat that much.
After this lovely day we had to say our goodbyes and get to the ferry. We were very lucky our ferry was at 12.45am but PO Ferrys let us on the 10.45pm and we were home by 1.00am. Home sweet home.
Now back at Gloucester and back to cleaning more chicken skins.
More tomorrow.
