If you want to experience Croatia, the best way to do so is by car. If you just fly down and stay in one place, you'll miss out on the breathtaking views from the roads and the opportunity to see multiple locations in this amazing country. We think travelling by motorhome is great. If you fly down, you can rent a car in Croatia to travel around.

Yesterday we spent ten minutes in Bosnia, or Bosnia and Herzegovina as the country is actually called. Yes, you heard right, ten minutes! If you've driven from Dubrovnik in southern Croatia to the north of the country, you'll understand exactly why - it's impossible to move on in Croatia without passing through Bosnia. I hadn't actually thought about it before, but the southern part of Croatia is not connected to the rest of the country.

Both yesterday and today we have travelled around the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. The Bay of Kotor is a bay with several bays in the northern part of the west coast. There are car roads around the entire bay, usually right next to the water, and it is fantastically beautiful to drive here. The mountains are dizzyingly high, the countryside is lushly green and the houses are small and picturesque. The landscape is a bit like Norway actually, but with a warmer climate.

Now we have continued our journey from North Macedonia to Albania. After the visit to Kicevo we went back to the campsite in Struga, North Macedonia. You may remember that we were waiting there for the green card that the insurance company sent us?

You may remember Musli and Shefik who we met at the campsite on Lake Ohrid? Shefik runs a restaurant in Kicevo, located between Lake Ohrid and Skopje, and invited us to come and visit. Of course, we could not refuse. And wow, what a fantastic and interesting day we had!

Today we have experienced both big cities and motorways in Albania. We have travelled from Albania's south-west coast and north-east to Lake Ohrid. We have driven through four major Albanian cities and we have driven several stretches on the motorway. The journey has also taken us through much of the countryside and over some more mountains. This has certainly been an interesting day!

Today we continued northwards on Albania's mountain roads, from Himara to Radhima. The plan was only to travel a short distance, from one beach to another. But there are some mountains in between. We see the roads in front of us winding upwards, upwards in serpentines... Are we really going to drive there? Yes, we should!

What is it like to drive in Albania? Driving in Albania doesn't have to be difficult, but you have to be a bit more careful than in Sweden, which is perhaps true in general on Balkan roads. Loose horses, cows, road construction, hay transport, fruit sales by the motorway or loose manhole covers - you never know what you'll encounter. We tell you about a road trip after dark, and we list what you need to consider when driving in Albania and on many other Balkan roads.

Puglia, or Apulia as it is called in Italian, is the region in southern Italy that goes down in the 'heel'. Where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet, you'll find everything from architecture and ancient culture to good food and long, beautiful beaches. Puglia is the Italians' own holiday paradise, and it's not hard to see why they love this part of Italy.
