Buy a campervan, dig your tent out of the loft, or stay in one of their trendy cabins but get yourself down to the Camping Bled site for the best shower you will have anywhere. 16eu a night for my out-of-season, no electricity, single person stay in this gorgeous quiet location despite its proximity to hustle and bustle. Gushing 🤣
I came on this trip for Croatia and feel that justice has not been done to it given the limited time I was there, very much overshadowed by the impending practicalities of working.
But on this trip, Slovenia, and the return journeying is stealing it. All the countries’ motorways have been quiet enough to be able to take in the so impressive countryside of Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia. I hope I can return before too long to all three to do more exploring.
Yesterday afternoon and night was spent on the Stellplatz (motorhome dedicated parking places) of another lovely town in southern Germany on the edge of the Alps called Prien am Chiemsee. One of the great things about driving my van on the continent is the confidence I have from feeling that my stay is welcomed in little places along the way, due to their extensive provision, and therefore you can get to see so much more. Motorhomes/campervans are everywhere, taking for granted their right to be there, and the equally-impressive well-maintained, pretty-much litter-free roads accommodate them.
Today I am typing this from a McDonalds at a service station just outside the town of Ulm so that I can get decent wifi to upload photos. My companions on the road have been the many, many truckers pounding the concrete at the same speed, annoyingly disrupting my cruise-controlling. We are on our way across southern Germany to Baden-Baden, in contrast with the travelling down on a lorry-absent Sunday. And the radio station Bayern1 providing me such classics as Kylie Minogue’s ‘The Locomotion’, the Carpenters ‘Mr Postman’, and the track which I have on my ‘About Me’ page.
The weather and I continue to smile.
Well, was the other shower in the green block even better than the first one then?
The waterfall shower in the Green Block was unbelievable. I so enjoyed it.
