Heading off!

Today we headed off on our way to Slovenia! I got up and packed up the van and after lunch we headed south. We ended up driving about 6 hours to a spot on the Danube just before Passau Germany for the night. We got here and ate some dinner and had just enough time for a short wander along the water. It’s been fun watching the boats go by (we did see one River cruise boat!) and it should be a nice night.

The van we got is a different one than the past two times and set up much differently! We usually end up with a Ford, but this time we got a Fiat and I have to say the engine is definitely not as powerful. You can’t keep cruise control on going up the hills on the freeway as it goes too slow eventually and turns it off. I’m curious how it will do on our mountain passes in Slovenia!

But the inside feels much bigger! And the seats are probably the most comparable seats I’ve ever had in a car. We got here and I wasn’t sore like I normally am after that long in the car! Plus the bench seat in the back is usually useless and super uncomfortable and there is not much room between it and the table so I never used it…but this one the seat is really wide and comfy and so much space! It is the same size van as the one we normally get, but it is set up much different and so it feels so much bigger! Plus the bed is so much bigger than normal too! There are some weird things like not many outlets in the camping area (you can’t use the ones in the front when parked or it will drain the car battery) and the fridge is in a different spot so not much counter space, but I think it will be nice for our trip!

Tomorrow we have a 3.5 hour drive to our first stop! Should be fun!Читать далее
