Since we'd left our Igls sleepy spot bright and early on Tuesday morning and driven straight to Seefeld in Tirol (all of 45km if we include the slight detour to an LPG station just outside Innsbruck which we then discovered we couldn't actually access unless we bought a vignette and used the motorway! Grrrrr. It'll wait!), … Continue reading Mountain Huts And Aching Limbs In Seefeld In Tirol.

Crossing The Passo Di Mendola To Bolzano Then Into Austria!
Our drive down to Bolzano on Sunday took us over The Passo di Mendola aka Mendelpass - a series of fourteen hairpin bends (with a width restriction of 2.30m, through which we only just managed to squeeze!) down into Sud Tirol which is, we later discovered, where the native language suddenly switches from Italian to … Continue reading Crossing The Passo Di Mendola To Bolzano Then Into Austria!

The Dizzying Heights Of The Dolomites!
The drive up to The Dolomites took us past Riva Del Garda and Verona and, whilst we really enjoyed the our time at Lake Garda in April and have yet to venture to Verona, we passed both by on this occasion since it was still way too hot to contemplate mooching around a city - … Continue reading The Dizzying Heights Of The Dolomites!

Two Very Different Long Weekends For The Three Members Of Team Sebo!
On our second day in the mountains, we attempted to walk the hills around our sleepy spot at Campigna in ridiculously hot weather - we didn't venture too far, to be honest, and tried to keep in the shade of the forest as much as we could because, considering we were at 1400m above sea … Continue reading Two Very Different Long Weekends For The Three Members Of Team Sebo!

Hitting Florence In A Heatwave Was Not One Of Our Better Ideas!
Our drive from Ravenna to Florence on Thursday, unlike the previous day's pretty boring schlepp down the totally flat and straight E55, Strada Romanae (Roman Road- and it was, in all senses!) was an awesome one - around a seemingly endless series of S-bends, on recently resurfaced road (turns out this is one of the … Continue reading Hitting Florence In A Heatwave Was Not One Of Our Better Ideas!

Vršič Pass – An Awesome Drive For Team Sebo!
Yes, folks, Team Sebo successfully negotiated The Vršič Pass, also known as the Ruska Cesta (Russian Road) on Sunday afternoon after decamping from our pitch at Camping Bled. This time, we avoided all motorways and drove through THE most awesome mountain scenery until we reached the beginning of The Pass - a 14% gradient was a … Continue reading Vršič Pass – An Awesome Drive For Team Sebo!

Into Slovenia – The Miniature Unknown!
We have to confess to knowing very little about Slovenia before we arrived here. Shame on us, I know! All we really knew about it was that it was the first former Yugoslavian state to get it's independence back in 1991, that Lubljana is it's capital city and it's the home of Adria motorhomes and … Continue reading Into Slovenia – The Miniature Unknown!

Arriverderci, Croatia – We Shall Miss You!
Our stay at the awesome Camp Zagreb was punctuated by blistering heat (37C at one point on Wednesday afternoon!) and an almighty storm on Wednesday night which circled around us for what seemed like hours before any rain fell. There was something almost surreal about sitting under our awning, BBQing our dinner, whilst watching the … Continue reading Arriverderci, Croatia – We Shall Miss You!
