    Grüezi Lola!

    August 7, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    It's been already one year an a half since Lola and I (Judit) met in the beautiful Taghazout in Morocco. I attended her yoga classes during a week in front of that magical beach and I felt a very special connection from the very beginning with her. Her life stories were very inspiring to me and taught me a lot more than she could ever imagine.
    That was the beginning of our friendship :)

    I couldn't start my trip knowing that she just moved from Asia to Europe. Now that I had some time I could visit her and meet her kind husband, her new home, her life in Switzerland. Thank you for opening your home and heart to us guys. We had an amazing time with you hiking, riding your e-bikes, doing some yoga, SUP and grill. We couldn't have imagined of a better start for our adventure. See you very soon. Namaste ☆    Read more

    Milano - bella Italia

    August 10, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    On our way to Italy we tried to hitchhike as the connections weren't the best. Literally, the destiny guided us into God's hands. A catholic priest from Bavaria heading to Padua gave us a ride to Milano :-)Read more

    Venice, you are a piece of art!

    August 11, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Venice was an unavoidable stop on our way to Slovenia and a huge surprise for our eyes! We were expecting streets full of tourists and "picture points" where everyone would fight for taking their best selfie to upload to their Instagram stories. Instead, we got lost through the narrow streets of its old city and we couldn't stop looking up the tall beautiful old houses amazed by their faded colours. This city has such a special personality hidden behind their walls.

    We found much less people than expected (we avoided the 'mass' actually) and also found very affordable prices to enjoy a delicious pasta in the middle of such a beautiful vignette. Arrivederci Venezia!    Read more

    A creepy night and a wonderful day

    August 12, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Let's say that Slovenia didn't give us the warmest arrival... We decided not to spend the night in Venice and to continue straight away by a bus with Nomago (bus company most commonly used in Slovenia). We had a twin room booked for that night with a late check in and surprise! When we arrived at the hostel we found out that they'd locked us out and that we couldn't get into the hostel. The guests let us in.

    We waited around 45minutes and tried to reach out the owner and tried to find other options to sleep. During that time we got asked by a drug addict if we had something for him, he wouldn't leave and instead decided to smoke two cigguis; an ex soldier from Kosovo and his cousin; and some weird people passed by.
    With that weird scenario, one of the guys from Kosovo offered us to sleep in his room and leave before the light goes up. So that's what we did.

    That night we discovered that the remains of the Yugoslavian war were still very present for many people. Those guys were living in a hostel 2 hours away of Ljubljana where they work. They left their family behind just for a better salary and they didn't even find that in Slovenia. Their next hope is to go to Germany and get a better future.

    The next day after sleeping less than 5 hours in a 30 degrees hostel room we took a train to the lake Bohinj, a breathtaking place with turquoise water and beautiful mountains. But again, another surprise was that the camping was booked out and the area was full of Germans with their vans.

    From then on started our real adventure trekking through the Triglav National Park and camping in the wildness.    Read more

    Break a leg!

    August 13, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Good luck was needed to take ourselves safe and our 15kg backpacks + our guitar tied with Jonas backpack up to the hut. We hiked around 6km with a total ascent of 1000m with maaaany breaks. We run out of water and on our way found none.
    Arriving at the hut it felt like heaven. We had a soup and some traditional Slovenian food and played the hole afternoon Kniffel with a German family.
    At night we found a good spot to camp. Later on the fatigue and dehydration hitted me hard making me shiver and vomit. To rest was the only way to recover.

    The following day we descended 14km and around 1400metres to Soča Valley in the Triglav National Park, one of the most beautiful places that we've ever seen. We stayed at Jelinč Camping to get some rest. That place is wonderful and nearby the river. It has some wooden swings, hammocks, cats, chickens, cows, sheeps and it's full of flowers. Very recommended for nature lovers and for families.    Read more

    Bled: No camping, no problem!

    August 16, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    We had seen some pictures of Bled before. What we didn't expect was that it was even more beautiful and romantic in real life. Once again, everything was booked out and we even got turned away at the campsite. But in Bled, if you actually bring your tent, you can find a good hidden spot in the woods in the middle of the town, because this town is surrounded by woods.

    No camping, no problem! We waited until dawn to pitch our tent in the woods and went back to the lake to enjoy a beautiful full moon.

    When the sun came up we packed everything up and had a swim and breakfast by the lake.    Read more

    Ljubljana

    August 17, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We arrived at the capital of Slovenia, named 'European green city' on 2016. Even though we'd already been travelling for a week across the country and we knew that the prices were higher than expected, we were surprised how expensive this city was during the main season! So we decided to spend only a day here. Every hour was worth the stopover. Nobody should miss the city with its tongue twisting name (they spell it Lyoob-lyah-nah), its beautiful buildings, castle and people on the streets who made our day. Luckily we won a free meal spinning the wheel of fortune hahaha

    We left Slovenia having enjoyed a lot their lakes, culture and nature but we felt a bit disappointed by the difficult and unrelaxed contact that we had with the locals. Let's say we should give them another chance next time.
    Looking forward to experience Bosnia ;)    Read more

    Birthday in Croatia

    August 18, 2019 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    On the beginning of our trip we didn't know yet where we would be celebrating my birthday. And well, our need to leave Slovenia for their expensive prices brought us to Zagreb. Not bad, huh?

    We took the opportunity to discover Croatia's capital with Joaco, a very nice Argentinean guy that we met the night before at the bus on our way to Croatia. We spent the day the three of us discovering the calm streets of Zagreb without a plan, enjoying and having a couple of beers to calm down the extreme heat.
    A romantic dinner at night the 2 of us and a nice walk through the old city.

    A break was needed so we decided to stay 3 days on the city to get some rest.

    Thank you so much to all of you for all the birthday wishes ♡    Read more
