Road to Italy



The next day travelling went fast. The road were in a good condition. It was green, overwhelming green, something we haven't seen for a long time. We drove through Croatia and ended in Slovenia, the border post to the European Community. However, we noticed nothing. Without any checking, except the passports, we could enter the EU,

We spent the night in Slovenia where we were in holiday country and we even found the first LIDL. We did some shopping there but Helma had to be stopped, because the car was full.
The next morning not the mosque but the church bells woke us up.
Once in Italy, no borders, the traffic was hectic. Traffic jams, something we really have to get used to. So it took us some time to reach Lake Como. Como was beautiful. Although the roads were narrow and there were lots of tourists it maintained its caracter.
Once we reached Pianello Frits was the first relative we saw in a long, long time. But there were more relatives so it was a wonderful reunion.
