Day 37 — A handbrake and 37 degrees

We had to return the rental car at Split Airport by 10:00, so we left our accommodation at 09:30. The airport is fairly small and finding the correct car park was easy. The return itself took about 30 seconds: we handed over the keys and that was that. There were no issues, inspections or surprise [...]

Day 36 — Three swims, a dead phone and Trogir

2026-09-02T19:13:12+02:00September 1st, 2026|Categories: Croatia, Europe, Trip Report|

We woke up in our apartment feeling a little tired after a mosquito had interrupted our sleep several times during the night. After coffee and baked egg on bread, we packed up and headed out. We had some time before check-in, so we decided to find a beach along the way and go for a [...]

Day 35 — Stone faces and a welcome schnapps

We started the morning with coffee and the leftover pizza. Hugo had a work meeting, and once that was finished we packed up and got back on the road. Back on the road and heading south. Along the way we decided to stop at a viewpoint. We could only drive so far and had to [...]

Day 34 — Missing passports and music from the sea

We moved through our usual morning routine—coffee, a makeshift breakfast and packing—faster than normal, and were on the road just after 09:00. Fifteen minutes later, Hugo asked, “Did you see the passports after we lugged them around the park with us?” We pulled over beside the road and searched through our things, but could not [...]

Days 32–33 — Planning for disaster, finding waterfalls

2026-08-30T08:28:53+02:00August 28th, 2026|Categories: Croatia, Europe, Trip Report|

We got up at 07:00, made coffee and packed our bags. Before leaving Zagreb, we walked to a bakery near the cathedral and bought a few different kinds of burek for breakfast. We deliberately chose the slower Bolt option, thinking that would give us time to eat. Naturally, it arrived within minutes. About half an [...]

Days 29–31 — Trams, tunnels and another foreign cinema

2026-09-02T19:08:41+02:00August 27th, 2026|Categories: Croatia, Europe, Trip Report|

Our ÖBB ticket from Ljubljana to Zagreb was valid for the whole day rather than for one specific train. That sounded flexible, but without seat reservations—and without being completely certain which trains it covered—it mostly made us nervous. There appeared to be only two direct trains anyway, so we aimed for the early one. If [...]
