The rain gently taps on the tent when I wake up and that doesn't really make me happy. That means improvising with my breakfast and packing all the camping gear wet. Inside the tent everything has remained dry fortunately, which surprises me somewhat after such a long period of rain. After my breakfast under the roof…

Following the tip of the very nice Esther, whom I met at the campsite, I visited Željava Air Base, located on the border between Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina under the mountain Plješevica, near the city of Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The first camping spot of this trip is immediately a gem. In the hills of southern Germany, around a small lake, there are about 30 permanent caravans and caravans. Most have been there for a long time, judging by the state of maintenance. There are only 1 camper and my tent on the spots for 'short-term campers'. Directly on the…

The journey will start in two weeks and of course the engine must be in optimal condition. If everything goes according to plan, there will be more than 35,000 km on the clock and that means that I will have to perform regular maintenance on the road at least three times. For the whole route…
