First stop in Scandinavia: IKEA. We shopped vegetarian sausages and fried onions for Hot Dogs for dinner – for the real Nordic experience right away.

Slovenia – Italy – Austria In only a few days we crossed those three countries. Okay, we’ve only been in Italy for a few minutes, but still, this again showed us the travel freedom Schengen gives us.

The day we left Croatia, we picked Tim’s friend Emmelie up in Ljubljana. For the next 10 days it wasn’t just the three of us together on the road. It is always interesting to have a friend traveling with us or visiting people here and there, since we always get some new input and new…
