Monday, May 19, 2025 Stage 7 of the Juliana Trail ~26,000 steps Today was supposed to be the easy day, just hiking from Stara Fuzina to Bohinjska Bistrica. Our Juliana Trail guidebook talked about adding on the Savica Waterfall to make it a complete day. On paper, the mileage with the waterfall and Stage 7Continue reading “It’s Colder than it Looks!”

For this shower, I’m Like the Dutchies
Sunday, May 18, 2025 Stage 6 of the Juliana Trail Goreljek on Pokljuka to Stara Fuzina ~ 36,000 Steps Today we said goodbye to Susana and Hotel Jelka.

Your Bags Are in Your Room…We Were Going to Try to Sell Them on Ebay!
Saturday, May 17, 2025 Stage 5 of the Juliana Trail Bled to Goreljek on Pokljuka ~ 36,000 Steps At this point, after a full 8 hour day of hiking, a sit down shower, two glasses of wine and a cheese plate, I’m so tired I’m not sure what to say. We both slept much betterContinue reading “Your Bags Are in Your Room…We Were Going to Try to Sell Them on Ebay!”
Tonight, earplugs
Friday, May 16, 2025 We got to the Bled train station last night, and there weren’t any taxis waiting. We were also the only passengers who got off the train at 7:50 pm, so maybe that’s why. It was sprinkling on us, and we were tired, dirty and ready to be off our feet. WeContinue reading “Tonight, earplugs”
“When the Largest Airplane in the World Shakes Like that…
Thursday, May 15, 2025 Denver – Munich – Bled “…You know it’s something.” That’s what the male flight attendant said to us as we were taking off out of Denver on Wednesday night. We were on the Lufthansa A380 flying direct from Denver to Munich. Our first time on a double decker airplane and youContinue reading ““When the Largest Airplane in the World Shakes Like that…”
Are We Ready?
I honestly have no idea. I hope so. We’ve done this so many times by now we’re either old pros who can’t mess up a thing (and can roll with the punches!) or lackadaisical and making stupid mistakes. Either way, we’ve got precisely 10 days and 0 hours to figure it out and get itContinue reading “Are We Ready?”
You Can’t Have This
November 30, 2024 What the heck! We’ve had 7 nights of wonderfully quiet sleep, but last night the loud club music we experienced back in 2022 was bumping. Whoever was partying, they continued rocking the music until 4 am. Makes it a little rough to then get up at 5 am to get ready, finishContinue reading “You Can’t Have This”
A Baracuda as Big as Me!
November 29, 2024 Today is our last day of diving and our last full day on Utila. We had arranged for Chover to pick us up verbally yesterday, instead of by texting through WhatsApp, so it made me a little nervous when he wasn’t as prompt as all of the other days. He was onContinue reading “A Baracuda as Big as Me!”
MFO – Mystery Floating Object
November 28, 2024 It’s Thanksgiving Day. We got up at the usual time to go diving, and Chover arrived at 7:15 to pick us up, which was good. He deposited us at Tank’d by 7:30, and we arranged for him to pick us up both tomorrow for diving and Saturday morning to catch the ferryContinue reading “MFO – Mystery Floating Object”
5G, Oh how I miss you
November 27, 2024 There’s not much to report for today. We woke at about 5:45, but we had no reason to. Today we are taking a day off from diving. The internet here at our Casita has decided it wanted a vacation too, in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Sara, so today I spent theContinue reading “5G, Oh how I miss you”
