Here we are at the Ljubljana resort in Slovenia, and we're going to tell you about our journey. We drove through the breathtakingly beautiful Austrian Alps. When we entered Slovenia, the map on the GPS disappeared. Since we got the wrong update disc, we are using an old version and for some (unfathomable) reason Slovenia and Croatia are missing ...

ShareFinding your way to Ljubljana Resort
When you don't have a GPS, it's really not easy to find your way. With the help of Margareta and Bobo Jonilson's book Camping in the East, road signs and some helpful girls in a petrol station, we eventually found our way to Ljubljana Resort.
Nice resort and campsite
Ljubljana resort is a nice and modern campsite, with clearly marked sites and extremely well organised waste sorting. In fact, the waste sorting is so well organised that we got really nervous. There are lots of different bins and signs, including signs describing how much you will be fined if you throw the rubbish away incorrectly. No small amounts, we can promise.
It is interesting that a country like little Slovenia has come further than many other developed countries in keeping clean and sorting rubbish. Strict rules and heavy fines are what work when it comes to keeping the country beautiful and clean.
Ljubljana resort is a nice campsite, but it is not a cheap campsite. We thought we paid a lot to stay here, but when the guys went to swim in the pool, we realised that it cost extra... Well, there wasn't much choice, so we paid so they could swim.
After all, we have to say that we had a great time here! The boys have been able to swim in the nice pools and we have been able to enjoy a good book in the comfortable heat.

Now I'm getting a bit jealous of you travelling through the Alps.
It's something I really miss and look forward to, hiking in the Alps and Dolomites.
Will follow you on your journey through the blog!
Have a nice holiday/ Hugs Annelie

Yes, one can only hope that Ljubljana has moved on.
I feel like I've told you this before, but anyway...
My experience from Ljubljana is ancient (train trip -78) and it was not fun, we are talking about the old Yugoslavia here... Arrived quite late in the evening. The city environment was grey and concrete as I remember it.
Unfriendly people. Not many knew English.
Was lucky to get a hotel room anyway. Ended up at a restaurant where we were extremely unpleasantly treated.
When an hour had passed and we had not been able to order, we left. Left the next morning, so we didn't give the city a chance either.What a contrast then, when we came down to current Croatia! Beautiful interesting architecture, good food and super nice people!
We travelled from Split to the island of Hvar. Fabulous!
I hope your stay in L will be better!

We found our own favourite place, Nordheim am Main, thanks to a misdirection because the GPS had completely failed.

Ha ha ha! We had exactly the same thing, Slovenia and Croatia were not on the GPS. In addition, we had managed to leave with a Europe atlas from 2002 (this was last summer) so it felt a bit like travelling blindfolded... Some roads were not included in the atlas, such as the motorway along the coast in Croatia. We got a bit lost, but it went well in the end. This year we will buy a new atlas... 😉 Good luck in the future!

The wonder of technology. But sometimes it can be a good thing when the GPS stops working. You can discover all sorts of new and wonderful places.

Rondine, yes it certainly seems to have changed! What we saw of Slovenia now was a prosperous community with nice houses and friendly people who spoke good English. The campsite was also of a good standard. Some things change for the better!
NinaKatarina, interesting to hear that this has happened to others! But as I said, somehow things work out anyway....
😉
Lena and Rutger, nice of you to stop by! We are doing well! Currently sitting on a warm beach and surfing on their free wifi!
Elisabeth, yes, it can be like that! You are forced to be a little creative and find places that you probably would not have found otherwise!
