We spent a few days on the island of Pag in Croatia at a giant campground with hundreds of sites, many restaurants, and a few different beaches on the Adriatic Sea. The water was extra salty so you could float easily without treading water. It was hot! It got up to around 100 degrees during …
We arrived at camp Liza in Bovec, Slovenia with no expectations. Apart from a small scratch to the van from the narrow winding road on the way in, the visit was great! Nestled in a valley surrounded by towering steep alps on all sides and the turquoise Soca river, Bovec is an adventurer’s paradise with …
From our campsite we walked a short way to catch the boat to Venice. We didn’t realize there were 2 terminals, so ended up taking a less direct route that first went to the island of Burano. This turned out to be a happy accident, as Burano was a wonderful little island with colorful houses, …
From our campsite across the lagoon from Venice we took a day trip to Verona. Verona is a beautiful old city famous for the opera and complete with a colosseum. After some delicious authentic Italian pasta for lunch we got hot walking around the cobblestone streets. We found a gelato shop that made the cones …
We arrived in Freizing, outside of Munich and met up with Mike, Chase, and Cohen, who had just arrived and were adjusting to the new time zone. We went for a walk and found a nice spot on the river to soak our feet and the cousins showed off their rock skipping skills. Afterword we …
For our first night in Dublin, we went to bed around 8 pm, but then we all woke up at midnight and struggled to sleep until we had to get up at 4 am to get to the airport for our flight to Zurich. The airport was full of travelers and we waited in long …
It was a long flight from SFO to Dublin, but we made it! When we finally arrived, 3 of our checked bags didn’t come out on the carrousel, so we spent at least an extra jet lagged and hungry hour waiting for the bag check guy to find our stuff before we could actually leave …
Wednesday, we left Great Basin to drive to Truckee, CA, stop # 23 out of 23. We drove across Nevada on the loneliest highway, stopping only so Kevin could do in an important meeting and to have lunch by an old castle on a mountainside. We arrived in Truckee to our good friends Dave and …
After leaving Hillary’s, we planned to drive across Utah so we could be near Great Basin National Park and get a first-come first-served campsite in the park early Monday morning. On our way, we detoured a little bit off of I-70 to check out Arches NP. Although I have been there numerous times before, it …
We arrived at Hillary’s house with a trailer full of wetness. Luckily, it was so hot and dry that our stuff dried out quickly. I was so excited to get to visit Hillary, one of my best friends since 4th grade. It was great to spend time with her and her husband Michael in their …
