Wild camping, near Orlat, 8th June

The ubiquitous horse and cart

Church built using Roman stone

Site of Roman remains. But the walls have almost entirely been rebuilt recently

Timisoara - our 3rd visit to an interesting city

Orthodox cathedral, about 100 years old.

Every time we went into an Orthodox church, there was a service going on. People just enter and leave at will, and the music and acoustics are glorious 

The Opera House square, where the revolution started and many of the deaths occurred 

Rosemary, at Lloyds Restaurant (founded 1935). The food here was as good as we've had anywhere, and a great deal better value.

This architecture ...

... is simply stunning

the central flower market

Slovenia - Camping Selinje

A Slovenian national park, but slightly disappointing

I'd guess this is an Elm

Ljubjana - a lovely capital of a lovely country

a Ljubjana store

An unusual society

Stanjel. We visited Stanjel because I happened to be reading Wanda Newby's autobiography, and this is where she spent her first 9 years or so.

We weren't far away, so it seemed impolite not to drop in.

The soft focus "David Hamilton" look was caused by a smear of grease on the lens, and was unintentional.

This is a small museum, run by a lady who translated part of wanda's book, and turned it into a book about Stanjel in the old days. She gave us Wanda's address, and we sent her a PC (and got a very nice reply)

Sites in Slovenia were mostly quite expensive. Kamp Korita was a lot cheaper, mainly aimed at small tents, but was on the Soca Trail.

any ideas, anyone?

Site at Dollach, Austria, just south of Grossglockner-Hochalpenstrasse, a very dramatic pass, reaching 8,000 feet

The glacier at Grossglockner-Hochalpenstrasse,

.... visited by Emporor Franz-Josef (and others)

A marmot
