Balkan Trip 2024
Camper testing, a taste of Orient and kind of getting a dog
With our long-held dream of going on a longer journey with our campervan looming ever closer on the horizon, we decided to go “invest” two weeks of vacation (invest as in: we can’t do what we had been doing for the last two year whenever we took some holidays, namely camper conversion…), and spend some quality time in our alsmost-not-realy-finished camper. We were very excited to get out of Germany after a very long time and taste some freedom and travel, and we had a wonderful time in the Balkans, especially enjoying Bosnia quite a bit. As with any good trip, we were in for quite a few surprises, some of which would drastically change our travel plans for our longer trip quite a bit…
