Ljubljana is only a small city of 300,000 people and relatively new so there isn’t a huge amount to see, but it has a nice feel to it and it’s great being able to walk to everything. We first took the pups for a long walk around Tivoli City Park. It’s free to park there …

177 – Soaking up the Slovenian Riviera
Being woken by roosters came as a bonus as our camp spot was near a school and we had been warned we could get trapped in if we didn’t leave early. So by 8am we had already arrived in the quaint town of Piran. Parking proved a bit of a struggle but we eventually found …
176 – Doggy Olympics and an amphitheatre
We were all a little slow to rise this morning. I’d slept through my alarm and we were so cosy after a mega thunderstorm last night. Honestly the sound of the rain was so heavy it felt like golf balls hitting the roof, and the first claps of thunder made me think someone had crashed. …
175 – Krka National Park & a Sea Organ
We were up bright and early to drive to Krka National Park. During the winter only two of the trails are open so we plumped for the Skradinski Buk waterfall, which you can walk to from Lozovac. Tickets were 30 kuna instead of 200 in summer and parking is free. It’s a pleasant boarded pathway …
173 – Take the slow road
It can be tempting to take the fastest route, especially when the alternative is an hour slower but why drive on a motorway when you can wind through stunning inland scenery, villages and fortress ruins. November is rainy season and we have had a mix of downpours, drizzle and bright sunshine. While Mark described the …
172 – Plitvice Lakes aka heaven on earth
Today I’m largely going to let the photos do the talking. We drove to Plitvice National Park which is on the Croatia bucket list for many visitors with good reason – it is stunning! We opted for the green route C from the main carpark 1 which covers the great waterfall and both the upper …
171 – Eating our way round Zagreb
You know that health kick I started…well today it got triumphantly sidelined 🤣 We hunted down some of the best food Zagreb has to offer and combined it with two wonderful museums. As a side note, last night I managed to convince myself to go for a run. I’ve had a bad relationship with exercise …
169 – Long drives, beautiful lakes and the lure of Croatia
From the comfort of my bed I could look straight through the sunroof to a cracking view of the TV tower. At only 5 degrees I was tempted to stay snuggled up in bed and I doubt the pups would have minded. However Markles is a restless soul and doesn’t believe in duvet days, so …

168 – Baby wild boar and spectacular ceramics!
Quite often the highlight of our day is something completely unplanned and just a wonderful surprise. This morning we had a knock on our door at 7am, and a couple of builders asked if we could shuffle so they could park their work vans for a job opposite. We happily obliged (its illegal to wild …

167 – Embracing the drizzle in Szeged
Despite a deep clean and half a bottle of febreeze my sofabed still smells funky. The dogs seem to forget then catch a whiff of the puke patch and deep sniff it again. Its literally the only thing I can’t chuck in the washing machine so I will have another go at deep cleaning it …
