We remembered our excitement at arriving in Croatia, a country neither of us had been to before, way back at the end of March. We stayed for six weeks at Camping Stobreč, the weather was cold, especially overnight and first thing, we slept under double duvets, everyone wore masks, we loved our excursions in bearable […]

The Day The Wind Fell Down
English really is an international Language From staying at the Campsite in Albania and here at Galeb in Croatia – Montenegro doesn’t count as Dušan spoke several languages, and nor do the previous ones as they were empty – I already knew that English is not just spoken for us Brits at campsite reception desks […]
Read MoreGeorge’s Catamaran to Brač
As soon as we had set up in Kamp Galeb, I sent George a WhatsApp to let him know that Steve and I were in Omis for a few days and we would love to take a trip on his catamaran to Brač. He responded almost immediately saying he remembered us well and that we […]
Read MoreCroatia – Bosnia – Croatia
We reached the border of Croatia from Montenegro bang on 8:30am last Tuesday morning (a week ago – where does our time go?) and unbelievably we were the only vehicle going through so it was straight up to the Border Booth. Seeing so many beaches coming to life en route we couldn’t believe the lack […]
Read MoreAlbania via Kamp Naluka to Croatia
Safely through the Albanian/Montenegrin Border, towing the caravan behind us, we realised no-one asked us about Stella and we certainly hadn’t volunteered any information on her or her Spanish Passport. Our goal was to return to Kamp Naluka, stay a couple of nights to sort ourselves out as to what we needed to cross into […]
Read MoreAlbania – in the rear view mirror

We were introduced to MRIZI I ZANAVE by our Montinegrin friend Marko (who runs the Country house Djurisic in Virpazar) and read so many glowing reviews it was definitely on our ‘to do’ list before we left Albania. I knew the resort had a hotel and hoped we could drive, eat, stay overnight and return […]
Read MoreAlbania – The Tour Going South
We let Niko (our campsite owner) know that we were going to be off early Monday morning in the Poacher, leaving the caravan behind as we normally do for long trips, to explore the south of Albania. Steve told him we aimed to leave by 6am and I burst out laughing knowing that was never […]
Read MoreCamp Life – Spain / Croatia / Montenegro /Albania
Father, it’s been two weeks since my last confession. Sorry, wrong religion and wrong story! It’s been two weeks since we arrived in Shkoder, Albania. Now in a campsite with a constant stream of neighbours and conversation opportunities for Steve, I’ve been reflecting on our previous campsites, their locations and our lifestyle experiences. Spain – […]
Read MoreLake Koman Excursion
Arriving at Lake Shkodra Resort, with a good choice of organised tours in the office, I was very keen to book our first organised trip for the two of us. I was eager to give Steve an opportunity to sit in a passenger seat without a steering wheel in front of him and for me […]
