Getting ready for travel

As we complete our preparations for a sojourn that really will start in Munich before heading south through Austria into Slovenia, maybe it is time to reflect on why we are doing this. To enjoy the adventure of course. How much thinking do you have to do to get it?

We feel fortunate to be able to even contemplate such a trip. Even before we start we will enjoy separate sejours in France; Yvonne for painting and Randall for a walking tour in the Lot. These will complete our preparations for exploring things Slavian.

So in all the plan is to:

• enjoy a brief return to France
• explore Munich for just a couple of days
• re-visit Salzburg and Mozart
• complete a self planned walk in the area around Unesco protected Hallstatt
• drop down into Slovenia for a taste of Bled and Ljubljana
• head across to the Adriatic coast and Croatia
• explore coastal Croatia including Rab Island, Pag Island, Zadar before reaching Trogir.
• join up with others on a bike and sail tour through the islands around Split
• spend a few days in Zagreb
• then head back to Munich and home via Maribor and Graz

This is almost all indulgence but we aim to learn as much as we can about places unknown to us.
