Annecy and onwards to South of France

Beautiful area the Istrian Peninsular. Personally I found Pula to be touristy and
seemingly just a little too neat and tidy, full of foreigners, just like me. Last time
I visited I stayed over a week at Autocamp Opatija Icici 200m from the sea landside
of the coast road, peaceful even midsummer.

However this was when it was Yugoslavia! I can't imagine things have quietened
down since 1987. Was only allowed 30 days in Yugo as a tourist, but as a visitor
you could at least get fuel discount vouchers. Camping outside of official sites ie required a
permit from the local government offices, I was never troubled when occasionally
wilding, not enough m/homes around to be perceived as a problem, might be different
these days.

You are not allowed now to wild anywhere now , although I did about 4 times.
Spoke to a Brit who had been talking to an Austrian who had been caught wilding and been fined 3000 kuna, about £120. BE WARNED.
I guess you are ok in a carpark, but now I won't risk it here now as I'm only going to be in Croatia for about another 5 days before crossing back into Slovenia and a leisurely 4/5 weeks to get back home.
Plan now from here is to head to lake Garda and then up towards the Brenner pass , missing Innsbruck and on to the Fatherland.
 
It's been a long old trek and about three weeks from home now.
At the moment I'm at Merano on northern Italy and will stay for two nights here and maybe overnight in Vipitino before crossing thru Austria .
Coming down from the mountains from Fondo had to stop to let the brakes cool down as they were smelling and giving of a little smoke, or it may have been my shreddies
Still hot but with a cool breeze .
Don't know how people can drag a shed around as we have pulled of to some remote places and seen some stunning places.

If your into thrill seeking stop off at Mieders in Austria on the way over the Brenner. Worlds longest Alpine Coaster.

Brilliant! I had a go on it (Two actually) a few years back. You have to do it with no brakes though.
