BLAKE Day 1 We were catching the bus to Dubrovnik this morning but it wasn't without its delays. The bus didnt arrive until late and departed 30mins late sat 9.45am. We then caught some traffic going through one of the small towns which also held us up. You would think being behind schedule that the driver would show some haste but upon a supposed 15min break we saw the drivers ordering a 3 course meal. This took them around half an hour to finish before we wer...

LOUISE Today started out as a nice casual day but everytually turned into a bit of a stressful rush. When we woke the heavens had opened up over night and it was still pouring down. We had a amazing brekky spread by our wonderful host at Dada House - omelettes, cheese and cold cuts, fresh fruit, toast, croissants, juice and a large variety of teas. The boys grabbed some umbrellas and loaded the car. We departed for Split at 10am. A 3 hour drive ahead of us. Tha...

LAUREN Road trip from Ljubljana to Plitvice Lakes. This morn we went to the Ljubljana markets for brekky. There was hundreds of stalls with fruit and berries and souvenirs. I am in heaven with all the raspberries and blueberries and blackberries mmm. We all got some berries and a croissant and coffee (combo was 1.60€). Up the furnicular to the Ljubljana castle to look around and back in the car for our 3 hour trip to Plitvice Lakes! The weather has started ...

LAUREN Road trip from Vienna to Lake Bled! Lou Blake and Scott picked up the car, while I stayed behind on snack duty. We got on the road at 10 am.

We had been told to try the cream cake of Lake Bled (aka kremsnita), so Lou and I were looking forward to that tasty treat after our hike up the stairs to see...

BLAKE We were able to have a little sleep in this morning as our bus to Vienna did not leave until 12pm which was welcomed after our early start the previous morning. After some breakfast Lou, Lauren & I headed off to the shops to buy a santa souvenir that the girls had seen the previous day (hand carved and painted $90 AUD. Worth every penny they said). We then also went to supermarket to get lunch and snacks for the bus ride. We got to the bus stop with...
