Day 32: Home Sweet Home

We left Munich in the morning and drove to Salzburg, where we visited the famous salt mine. On our way there we stopped in a tiny Bavarian village with a very interesting name (see the photo), but unfortunately found out that its inhabitatnts aren't exactly among the most hospitable in the world. We arrived to Ljubljana at four in the afternoon and as every proper Ljubljančan first went to the pub before doing everything else.

After 32 days spent on the road, life will soon get back to normal. And for those, who were asking how it was compared to last year; the places were as nice, the people were just as friendly and the atmosphere was just as amaizing, but it was still quite different from last year. Last year, we did it for the first time and everything was new for us, while this year, we already had loads of experience. This year, however, definitely was worse in terms of things that broke down. The tire, the car, the navigation, the tent and the lock, it doesn't really matter what, we managed to fix them all.

Some statistics from this trip:

Kilometres driven: 11286
Kilometres walked: 100 (82 Finland, 18 Norway)
Tires burst: 1
Ratio of guys against women in Mercedes A; 44:23
Will be missed: two pairs of shorts left behind in Prague, a credit card now staying in Riga and a pair of flip-flops R.I.P. at the bottom of a lake in Oulanka

We are already planning the trip for next year. Wonder where we will be going? Well, I guess you'll just have to wait and see:)

A tip for those passing this village: beware of the furious ladies with rakes in their hands (in the backround), you do not want to mess with them


While Urša was educating herself in the salt mine ...








... Sabrina and Petra were enjoying their last lunch and siesta on the road.














The last 100 km of the trip seemed the longest - Austria is famous for its "Staus".
