About the trip
The trip to Istria and Slovenia is organised by Resia in cooperation with FREEDOMtravel. The planning of the trip started with our readers getting vote for a destination out of five, which resulted in us starting to plan a group trip to Istria and Slovenia. Very, very fun!
Peter and Helena from FREEDOMtravel are travelling with us, as well as Margareta Hallin from Resia and Hallin's travel blog, which you may know. In addition to us three, there are another 20 places.

My goodness, the verification was a mess! The bucks disappeared, the pictures changed, HOW messy....
12 August 2018 - 9:58
Helena says:
Sorry for the hassle ... Several people have pointed out that they have had problems since we were forced to have spam protection. Will see if we can do something about it!!!

A really dense and good programme. Rovinj is one of the owners' favourite cities, there is so much to see and discover there.
It would have been fun to hang out, but this with holiday days...
12 August 2018 - 10:00
Helena says:
Agree that Rovinj is a fantastic city! Oh, it would have been fun if you wanted to come along! But I know exactly how it is with holiday days!
12 August 2018 - 15:56
Ditte says:
It's sure to be a great trip! And the programme seems to contain most things. Very affordable too! Have a travel job booked so for me there will be no trip. But of course it attracts.
12 August 2018 - 10:56
Helena says:
Sad that you can not follow Ditte, but travel jobs sound fun! 🙂 Yes, we have worked hard to get interesting and good points into the programme!

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
It sounds like a packed programme. I think we visited most of the places on our trip in May so it can only be good.
12 August 2018 - 15:14
Helena says:
There is really a lot to see and experience in this area! We also think it will be good! 🙂

Fantasy Dining says:
Oh what fun it would have been to come along?
12 August 2018 - 15:36
Helena says:
It would be great fun if you came with Maria! 🙂
12 August 2018 - 15:59
Fantasy Dining says:
Yes, it certainly would have been. I haven't been to either place and it would have been so much fun to travel with you again. I wouldn't have hesitated if it wasn't for the fact that I get to take an unpaid holiday from work. Too bad it didn't fall entirely on my week off. Because the price of the trip feels very good.
13 August 2018 - 21:24
Helena says:
What a shame that it does not coincide with your week off Maria! Yes, the price is good! We have worked hard to get buses, boats, entries, experiences and good restaurant dinners at good prices!

Looks like a well-planned trip! We are already in Europe then, but probably along the Atlantic, so we do not hang on. Not this time in af 🙂
12 August 2018 - 17:34
Helena says:
Yes, we have spent a lot of time planning! Sorry you can't join us, but we hope you have a great trip to Europe!

Veiken says:
You have bad timing!!!! I would have liked to join you, but I am on board the Celebrity Reflection. We are going to look around in the Mediterranean and have changed shipping company ...
You can change your departure date! Hahaha! 😉
12 August 2018 - 17:53
Helena says:
Ah, what bad luck! However, cruising in the Mediterranean does not sound stupid either! 😉

Sounds like a great trip with a packed and interesting programme. Going as usual free ride from here; -)

Anette Åhnbrink says:
Unfortunately, we have already started our holiday two weeks before and then the motorhome is supposed to roll? So you have to manage without us! But it undeniably looks like a well-planned and fun trip, hope you and everyone else will be happy! We follow on blog and insta of course?
12 August 2018 - 19:43
Helena says:
There are many hours of planning behind this trip, I can say! 🙂 So we hope it will be really good! Hope you also have a good trip and fun that you follow!

It would have been fun to come along but the man can't get time off then. Hope it can be another time. Have a good time all of you who can come along?
12 August 2018 - 21:24
Helena says:
Oh, how sad that it is not possible to get to the holiday! It would have been so much fun if you wanted to come along!

Berit Wahlström says:
WOW, what a trip? Just what I myself would like to experience in these places, so well organised! Unfortunately, it does not suit us then - for various reasons!
Maybe there will be more opportunities! ...but in that case it will not be the same destination?
13 August 2018 - 11:56
Helena says:
Oh how sad that it does not fit! Would be great fun to have you on the trip! 🙂

Sounds like a great trip! Unfortunately, there isn't much time off after this summer's adventures...

This is a common dilemma, unfortunately. Would have been fun to have you on the trip!

GeddFish says:
Oh, a full-flavoured trip to one of my favourite destinations 😀 I've been to both Rovinj and Pula and had truffles.
I've just come back from France and am going on another wine tour in September, so I'll have to make do with that. But there was a competition, right? 😀
13 August 2018 - 19:39
Helena says:
We are getting ready to launch the competition!
