TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 🐢🐢🐢🐢
27 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Went to the Uffizi Gallery and enjoyed a temporary Roman exhibition which was quite exciting and all the permanent works - a lot of which we can thank the Medici's for. You will find pictures of allЧитать далее
My legs hurt
28 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Once again not many photos from me because my legs nearly fell off. The hills were almost as big as the pizza we had for lunch! I learned that I have quite a ways to go if I want to push six watts perЧитать далее
Strade Bianche
28 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We wanted to go to a winery today. But all the tours were all either too expensive or booked out until August. So instead we caught a bus and hired some bikes and ticked a big one off my (Alfred's)Читать далее
Firenze to Venezia
29 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Travelled from Florence to Venice on a bullet train but it wasn't going full speed :(
Our favourite Panini shop isn't open on Saturdays - so we went to the second best in Florence instead. Venice isЧитать далее
Train bridge! (Florence -> Venice)
29 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Arriving in Venice involved quite a long bridge (not a train on a ferry this time )): ). As alfred has already lamented, the panini place that changed his life was closed so we settled for one thatЧитать далее
True equality
30 июля 2023 г., Италия
Today, Alfred proved himself as a true feminist - when they told him his board shorts were too short to enter St Mark's basilica and I'm that moment he truly understood women's suffrage. He bravelyЧитать далее
House of the Doge
30 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
We did the cultural thing today, which involved a Rick Steve walk of Saint Mark's Square and a trip into St Mark's cathedral. Which was a "cacophony of architectural styles" also known as a hot mess.Читать далее
Murano and Burano
31 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Determined to make the most of our 1 day ferry pass, we went island hopping to Murano and Burano! We accidentally got a free glass blowing demonstration in Murano because we were a tiny bit late andЧитать далее
Venice ferry hopping
31 июля 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Day trip to the Venetian Islands, followed by a demonstration of Italian engineering genius. Needed a couple more bags of sand.
Slovenia
1 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Not much to report today. Caught some trains to Slovenia though! Very beautiful country. Lots of views of the Alps. Also we got rained on for the first time since we left Australia
B-Day (we missed you Bailey)
2 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Reunited with Bailey! We spent the day exploring Ljubljana including the triple bridge (which is really just 3 bridges next to each other but apparently it's a feat of architecture), the riverside, anЧитать далее
Lovely Ljub
2 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
A day exploring Ljubljana (pronounced how it is spelled), reunited with Bailey. At the behest of 3 different recommendations we tried horse burgers for lunch - they were alright, don't see why youЧитать далее
To lake bled!
3 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Our day started with our Airbnb host offering us traditional Slovenian plum liquor shots at 10:30am. After telling us all the benefits that having just 1 and only 1 shot per day can give you, heЧитать далее
Helf💊💉👍
3 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Having digested the horse burgers, we were then affronted by our airbnb host, who made us do plum brandy shots as we tried to check out. His neighbour walks down to the garden every day for a shot,Читать далее
Drowning in the air
4 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Bled received 70mm of rain in 1 day. According to the matron of Bailey's hostel, it hasn't been this bad since the 1930s which is not great for the place we planned to go to solely to have a swim 😔Читать далее
Rikli World
4 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Arnold "rickle" Rikli was a Swiss dye factory owner, who came to Bled in the 1850s to fix a bout of illness (read: diarrhea). He then discovered the magical healing properties of rest and relaxationЧитать далее
I guess we're just this damp now
5 августа 2023 г., Словения ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
We went for a walk around the lake which turned into an accidental mountain hike. The lookout point looked very close on the map but that's because it goes straight up - we also might have followedЧитать далее
Verging on flood waters
5 августа 2023 г., Словения
Went for a walk around the lake - got pretty lost trying to find the lookout. We also saw the level control system working over time to keep the lake from bursting its banks. Good times all round
A bus-y day
6 августа 2023 г., Хорватия ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We spent all day on 2 busses from Slovenia to Croatia. Not much to report but our apartment here is the most spacious we've had for a long while ((: had maybe the best falafel wrap ever for lunch andЧитать далее
Zagreb!
7 августа 2023 г., Хорватия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We wondered the streets of Zagreb and saw some of the main sights. I imagine this is a bit like what it's like to visit Melbourne for a couple of days - the sites are a bit rogue but the city has aЧитать далее
Zagreb
7 августа 2023 г., Хорватия ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Today we explored Zagreb and saw the Dolac Market, the funicular and the highlight: the museum of broken relationships. Where people send in things that remind them of broken relationships, some of itЧитать далее
Zagreb to Korenica
8 августа 2023 г., Хорватия ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
We caught the bus from Zagreb to Korenica, these Eastern Europeans drive a mean bus - would recommend 👍. Korenica is a lovely town in the mountains. Our air bnb has a view of hillsides in bothЧитать далее
Plitvice? More like Plit-nice 👌
9 августа 2023 г., Хорватия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
The main reason for our stay in Korenica was to visit the Plitvice Lakes National Park. It's a very bizarre National Park with weird train/bus hybrid vehicles that drive you to the beginning ofЧитать далее
Plitvice Lakes
9 августа 2023 г., Хорватия
The lakes were very lovely. As with all national parks on this continent the management was confusing.
Each lake was a different shade of turquoise which made wondering around quite exciting. AlsoЧитать далее
Plit(vice) -> Split
10 августа 2023 г., Хорватия ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Most of today was spent on perhaps the boujeest bus ride we have yet to take - it resembled a train far more than a bus. Also, two bus hobos had a punch on about 20 minutes from our final destinationЧитать далее
