24.06.19 Stop am Bärensee bei Hanau, es war so heiß...ich wollte nur noch ins Wasser. Schöner See mit Infrastruktur, ich stand frei und habe die Zeit genossen.

20.06.19 I'm going to Mondsee. Through a motorhome forum, I met Peter and he followed my journey and really wanted to meet me. So I'm going there and staying for 3 days. We hit it off right away and he showed me his chosen home. We rode his e-bikes, took an extensive scooter tour to the surrounding lakes, and had a great evening at the Heuriger. I stood on a stand-up paddleboard for the first time and had a lot of fun.

25.06.19 to my friend Ulrike. I brought her the things that didn't fit in the plane and we celebrated my birthday now. She invited me for a delicious dinner and we had a great evening. Thank you so much, my sweetie!

18.06.19, we make a bathing stop in Croatia and then drive to Dubrovnik and stay in Podaca. Unfortunately, free camping is prohibited in Croatia and not tolerated. We accept it and go to a small campsite. Well, it's not really my thing but it has to be done.

17.06.19 the 50th birthday. Today we have to somehow top yesterday. Okay, hardly possible, but still found a great location. A beach bar in Montenegro. That was really cool...

16.06.19 From Borsh we continue through the mountains towards Durres. We are free to park at the beach in Golem, Albania. Today is a special day, Ulrike turns 50 years young tonight! We go to a bar, the host asks us to park the camper on his property. We are sitting there alone, two European women...the first car arrives, then the second, then the seventh :-). The bar is full and we have a lot of fun. The camper is right next to our table. Next to us sits a Macedonian who has lived in Germany for a long time. At midnight, an Albanian birthday song for Ulrike. It was so special! Thank you for letting me be a part of it!!!

15.06.19 A difficult farewell, but more highlights await us. We are heading to Albania next. I'm already looking forward to the Llagera Pass. I drove it alone on the way there, but now I'm with Ulrike. Finding it on the way back isn't so bad anymore. But first, we still have to make a stop in Greece to visit Yannis. A promise is a promise! He's really excited, and we'll get fresh eggs and apricots from him. We're spending the night in Borsh (Albania), freely standing by the beach. The people here are really warm-hearted. Thank you for your hospitality.
