Greece – I love you! You have been wonderful to Fiete and me.  We will come back – promised!

This is also the place where I decided that it’s time for a new start, which you can read all about in my other blog post. So yes, this place is very special.

I also discovered Slovenia not being my final travel destination, but as a go trough route on the way from Germany to Croatia. Such an unexpected surprise! Because this might be one of the most underestimated countries I have ever been to and it’s definitely worth a trip. Here is my route in detail:
