Slovenia Sleepover
We stopped over in Ljubjana for the night and did a little exploring the next morning.

Mauling Missionaries
On our way out of Vienna we spotted missionaries. Things usually get a bit awkward when this happens because I feel the need to hug them. I’ve been doing this for years and Mark has learned to accept my need to boost the moral of these good people by gently mauling them. Elder and …
Vibrant Vienna
Our road trip up to the Austrian MotoGP took us near Vienna so we made room for a stopover to take it in. We stayed right around the corner from the spectacular St. Stephen’s Cathedral so our early morning stroll beat the crowds and the rising sun splashed everything with vibrant shimmering gold. Seeing St. …
Accidental Tourists
We have successfully added another sub-genre to the ever-growing variety of tourism crazes. You’ve likely heard of “Eco-Tourism” and “Dark-Tourism,” but we’ve just created a whole new classification we are calling “Accidental Tourism.” The story beings with two happy travelers. We have one destination in mind but a multitude of options to get there. …
Zagreb-ing our Attention
We stayed the night in a lovely Airbnb in Zagreb—Croatia’s capitol city. It was a really relaxing place to stop, unwind from a days drive and stroll around the city that evening. The next morning Mark snuck out and went for an early jog around the neighborhood while I slept in, and came home …

It’s also the height of fire season around here, which sadly reminds us these days of Oregon summers. As we sailed back under the bridge we came to the narrow point in the …
More Jezero Mir
After anchoring inside the cliff walls we took the dingy to shore and did some hiking around. There is indeed a lake there, and it’s really warm. A warm fresh water lake is a thing of beauty to a sailor who rarely gets an opportunity for a warm bath. Along our little adventuring hike we …
Jezero Mir
It was the guidebooks fault we decided to sail up to Jezero Mir. And honestly, we were expecting just a nice sail with something less inspiring than the guidebook photos when we showed up. I mean, look at that photo. Seriously, what?! But we got all the way up there and we were disappointed that …
