June 4: BLED, SLOVENIA. We traveled through hills, mountains, and valleys of Austria. When it came to the mountains there were huge tunnels as long as 7 miles long that we drove through. The scenery was spectacular with trees, cliffs, and house along the hillside. We camped in Bled, which is near the north border. We walked around Bled Lake as there is a church on an island in the center of the lake and Bled Castle on a hilltop. 
June 5: NOVIGRAD, CROATIA. We drove south and stopped in Ljubjana, the capital of Slovenia. We crossed the border to Croatia and were stopped by border patrol since they are not part of the EU (European Union). We camped along the Adriatic Sea. The campground was like a little city in that many campers were set up with semi-permanent structures, like outdoor patios, that they may use for the summer season or year round. So far, we have paid between $17-$28 per night for a campsite.
June 6-7: CRES, CROATIA. An interesting part of our trip is not knowing where we will go next. We stopped in Porec and walked around the Old Town. We saw the narrow Roman streets and the Basilica. As we drove out of Porec, we looked on a map and saw the island of Cres. We decided to take the ferry and we drove along some high, and winding, roads. Our campsite was great and part of it is marked Naturalist, which is the nudist area. It may be shocking from western standards to see men and women au natural at their campers and along the beach. We stayed in the “textile” area which means we had to keep our clothes on. We could freely walk to the “non textile” area though for a swim or a walk.
