27 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 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 allLäs mer
My legs hurt
28 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 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 perLäs mer
Strade Bianche
28 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 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)Läs mer
Firenze to Venezia
29 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 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 isLäs mer
Train bridge! (Florence -> Venice)
29 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 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 thatLäs mer
True equality
30 juli 2023, Italien
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 bravelyLäs mer
House of the Doge
30 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 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.Läs mer
Murano and Burano
31 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 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 andLäs mer
Venice ferry hopping
31 juli 2023, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 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 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ ☁️ 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 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ ⛅ 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, anLäs mer
Lovely Ljub
2 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ ⛅ 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 youLäs mer
To lake bled!
3 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ ⛅ 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, heLäs mer
Helf💊💉👍
3 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ ⛅ 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,Läs mer
Drowning in the air
4 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ 🌧 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 😔Läs mer
Rikli World
4 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ 🌧 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 relaxationLäs mer
I guess we're just this damp now
5 augusti 2023, Slovenien ⋅ 🌧 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 followedLäs mer
Verging on flood waters
5 augusti 2023, Slovenien
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 augusti 2023, Kroatien ⋅ ☁️ 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 andLäs mer
Zagreb!
7 augusti 2023, Kroatien ⋅ ⛅ 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 aLäs mer
Zagreb
7 augusti 2023, Kroatien ⋅ ⛅ 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 itLäs mer
Zagreb to Korenica
8 augusti 2023, Kroatien ⋅ ⛅ 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 bothLäs mer
Plitvice? More like Plit-nice 👌
9 augusti 2023, Kroatien ⋅ ☁️ 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 ofLäs mer
Plitvice Lakes
9 augusti 2023, Kroatien
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. AlsoLäs mer
Plit(vice) -> Split
10 augusti 2023, Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 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 destinationLäs mer
