Camper van and Albania adventure (Part 1: Slovenia)

 Since our first summer here in Germany (May 2009) we had the idea to drive down to Albania, but the circumstances seemed to never allow it.  This spring though Mike and I decided to go ahead and purchase a camper van. As you can see, it is not a normal camper, it's prettty hilarious. At first, I didn't even wanted to consider buying it, it was too crazy looking for my taste, but one day we decided to go and take a look and see if we liked it. Actually, we feel in love with it, can you believe it? The camper is a Mercedes Benz, 1979, 2 years older than me so I don't like when people say: Man, your camper is so old!!!!!!
The previous owners loved it, they had it for 25 years and actually the guy had built everything inside it. They painted it because of their kids, to make it more fun for them. (We will show some pictures in another post). We just felt good about it and purchased it. Since then, we have loved it, it has been a fun project for Mike and he keeps changing the look of it!!!

 But because we decided to drive down to Albania this summer, we didn't wanted to draw to much attention in the Eastern country so we decided to go plain and boring. I would have never thought that it would have been so hard to see those french cartoon characters(Asterix and Obelix) fade and at the end dissapear.

 This was the final look.

 Just before we left, Mike had to pick up some cherries for the trip. Our first stop was Lake Bled, Slovenia. A beautiful, serene place.

 We took the taxi boat which takes you up to the castle and enjoyed the ride. Up there, there were some famous steps and I will tell you why. Apparently, when people get married in Slovenia, the groom has to carry his bride up these 99 steps or the marriage is not valid.

 After a nice break, we had to leave Slovenia and this beautiful place for another adventure in another country. Stay in tune!
