Today was apparently a day for testing the nerves. Starting off with a walk up a hill, and then along the cliff edges at the top. Lots of hills where you look down

For people who know me, I'm very much a cat person, always happy with a furball to warm myself against. And there is a cat here at the house I'm currently staying at.

As Croatia made very clear to me, if you want a crêpe, go to France. Which is exactly what happened. I them accidentally blinked after ordering the crêpe, and then already got handed

We arrived pretty late last night, but we obviously still managed to drag the Croatian summer along with us, considering that we had bright blue skies right from the morning. The sunscreen that

Today is all another fun transport day, as we try to enjoy the last pieces of coast and fresh lemon juice that we can find. We however need to make it to split,

The road back to the coast had a bit of repetition, but driving over the mountains still provided some stunning views. Croatia doesn't seem to be a particularly densely populated country, to the

After having tried to beat the tourists yesterday, today we waited for them to get tired and leave again before we arrive. And that even worked mostly, the stream of people was certainly

My travel companion makes a lot of comments about how it's safe to do certain things again, now that he's close to Italy. Amongst this list has been ordering coffee and eating pizza.

It started raining again, so it is high time that we bail the country. Drive down to Switzerland and then fly to Croatia. Our route took us twice into Switzerland with a brief

Today, I learnt an important lesson that has gotten me into big trouble many times in the past. What is a Pony and what is a Horse? The answer: a Pony is under

Going through the house this morning and evaluating the damage of the storm was fun. One picture crooked, one fell over, garden had the chairs all over, and one bucket was spotted with

Yep, it's actually warm today, and people still laugh at me for wearing a jacket. But at least I don't glow in the dark now like some of us. After about 50 metres

I keep on getting told that the German trains are very punctual, which is always something I've taken with a grain of salt. The first reply is: "Yes, because 15 minutes late

I think, today might have been a bit of a lesson of why I will never have kids. I got to play a little bit baby sitter, which I've discovered is an extremely

I survived last night till about 11pm, or about 7am in the previous time zone, so plan "don't get jetlag" has been crowned a success. Unfortunately, I didn't have the best
