There are some changes to our team this year. Unfortunately, this time Petra is staying at home. Her passport has expired and although she has blond hair and blue eyes we figured that because of the global recession we wouldn't be able to sell her in exchange for enough camels at the Turkish border to last us for the trip. Elza is staying safely parked in her garage in Ljubljana, her role will be taken by Senior S. and little miss Lu will be chilling somewhere in the shade on the Slovenian coast rather than suffering from heat in the Balkans. Everything else is staying the same. There is still us, Sabrina "wannabe rally driver" Savnik and Urša " reverse into everything" Krenk and of course the priceless Grozilda "street=water" GPS, who will be trying to survive yet another road trip around Europe.
So sometime next week, we shall head off (depends on when Sabrina manages to get her drivers license renewed), with the car full off food, clothes, scuba diving and kite-surfing stuff and if lucky, also with all the necessary documents we need. The plan is to drive down along the coast of Istria, visit Bosnia, spend some time kite surfing in Montenegro, explore the countryside in Albania, cycle around Ohrid lake in Macedonia, enter Greece in a desperate attempt to pump some money into their economy, do some hiking in Pindus mountains, educate ourselves about ancient history on Peloponnese, try not to get stuck in the middle of a protest in Athens, worship Gods bellow Mt. Olympus and finally stuff ourselves with baklavas in Istanbul and have a short trip to Asia before driving back home across Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia. The whole trip should take us about a month.
We will try to update this blog regularly, depending on the Internet access and our mood of course:)
The pleasure of doing nothing in Istria, where we were trying to get some tan before we head off even further south
