Eurotrip 6, 2017 – Goodbye Croatia, Hello Slovenia…

Standard

We said goodbye to Croatia today and headed off to Lake Bled in Slovenia. A 130 mile journey which would have taken around 3 hours had it not been for a half hour wait at Slovenian border control and a further delay when we took the wrong turning near Ljubljana. Necessitating an unplanned visit around the city’s inner ring road!

First impressions of Bled – what’s happened to the HOT weather. Without moaning too much, we’ve also become accustomed to fully serviced pitches and whilst we have a huge plot here, it was unfamiliar territory to manually fill the water barrel and find a sneaky place to offload the grey waste.

Before packing up yesterday we visited a couple of small villages on the island of Krk.

First was Stara Baska, a remote outpost on the southern side of the island of Krk. A few eating places, small harbour, beautiful beach (we weren’t sure how one would access it) and a nice waterside campsite – another in the Camping Adriatic chain.

An opportunity presented itself to launch the drone and there are a couple of shots and a video below:

If you want a peaceful stay away from it all then this place is worthy of consideration. It’s called Camping Skrila, Skara Baska. If we were here much longer it could be nice to chill here for a week or two!

Next was a trip to the old hilltop village of Vrbnik which is perched 50m up on a limestone outcrop. This turned out to be a very nice old town, still relatively un-touched by tourism and definitely worthy of a visit.

Vrbnik…

The main church is the Church of Assumption and there are some pictures below of the church and the associated bell tower.

Vrbnik is also home to the narrowest street in the world – a mere 40cms wide. Now, do I go through face-on or side-on…
