On my way!! First part of a month-long trip Amsterdam-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia & back again! Bon voyage to me ;) Excited, expectant & slightly nervous!

Double rainbow : a good omen!

Good news: had some sleep & breakfast; first sighting of the mountains under snow!! Also: 2 hour delay, missed connecting train, extra stop in Salzburg.

Mountains with snow on tops! Rivers! Forests! Austria is pretty…

Arrived to Villach! Staying for two days in Thermen/spa hotel… with a view to the forest & pool ;)

Any hills are a miracle for a Dutch person… & such dramatic sky!

This is for Nana & @bert_hubert

Beautiful nature in the hotel-park…

I miss my cat!!! here’s a souvenir he gave me just before I left… :)

Early morning beauty @ Warmbad … (alt text: geyser, turtles all the way down, curly mossy hazel, rustic train station)

I’m looking forward to the Vogons placing such a sign above Earth: “you are in a sensitive wildlife habitat! >civilized< creatures must be kept on a leash!”

It’s snowing in paradise!

Dynamic opposites : snow & steam, birds song & me floating in the warm water…

Good morning to the day of train-travel to the next stage of trip… starting relaxed: waking up with birds in dawn light, packing, saying goodbye to hotel plants & enjoying a pre-swim breakfast!

What you focus on, increases. #spring #nature #beauty

Natural hot-spring!!! (pun intended…) Villach Warmbad, Maibachl

No time to tweet, now that the work started... so just a throwback to the old message ;-)

Dog Spa

Cat Spa (thanks, @risataki )

The trip continues… looking back on few impressions from #SEE10

Invigorating evening with enthusiastic people, in creative space of @RadionaOrg & sharing beers & snacks with future HR.NOG (or C.O.G. ?!) in Zagreb ! Thanks to @ripencc & Jelena, Ivana, Deborah, Ivan, Mario*3, et. al

First sighting of the SEA!!! Rijeka/Opatija

… few hours later I was already swimming! In the sea! Brrrrrr!

Good morning from Opatija! First real vacation day: calm dawn, choppy sea & mass tourism;)

Trees & me

In Theatre “Gervais” tonight: Bilhežnica Robija K. divan.fyi/en/event/bilje…

Good night! Dramatic nature views from today…

Third day, third dip in the sea; plus wildlife, as tame as they get ;) #Opatija

Glorious cats, amazing plants (part 1)

Glorious cats, amazing plants (part 2)

Glorious plants (“Američki Vrtovi”) & feral cats in #Opatija

Cloudy day. water temperature 13-14^C!! I still swam, & loved every second of it ;)

Frolicking in cold water today was invigorating!! Playing with waves… enjoying the sunshine… & trying to take selfies ;) #Opatija

Such a different day today… my last in #Opatija: no wind but no sun either. Good for walking along the coast: Lungomare. Cats & sea & sky…

Leaving Opatija in the rain… Suitable good-bye for this part of the adventure… &.. for the first time I’m in a @FlixBus !!

It me :)

I’m so happy!!! Trip went fine, I’ve arrived in Kranjska Gora, made new friends, have a wonderful view and a huge room for the next 9 days!!! I even had time in Ljubljana to get a new undercut;) upwards & onwards , to the new NVC heights !!

Being in Slovenia/ Balkans makes me remember all the beautiful lubricant of songs in my native language(s)… “Imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi” : open.spotify.com/track/79YRItIJ…

Can’t get enough of this mountains view!!! I’m literally in the clouds!!!

Ako hoćeš da dodješ/te u Četvrtak u Kranjsku Goru na NVC kurs tokom dana ili samo uveče, to nam je Open Day… dobrodošli ste!! // friends & family are invited to the NVC open day on Thursday in Kranjska Gora - let me know if you are interested!!

Day 1: Bambi, river, cat, Rumi

I’m blessed with this view: dawn on the snowy mountain peaks…

Early morning walk… it’s almost like Nepal! In Kranjska Gora.

I am pretty and powerful today!

The lake… is magical!

It is our wounds | that create beauty, | and connection | when shared with another. #NVC

En-light-tened

Waterfall, real close & personal

Wounded pine / oozes amber. In the sun / we cry together.

Me & my shadow. Light plays on the stream, clouds, mountains, snow, forest, willow, “pupoljci” …

Morning NVC IIT integration: diary, tea, sun & mountains…

Very much this!!! 🦔en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog%…

Crazy person on the snow, on the 1st of May!

Saying goodbye to the mountains forests river… #NVC IIT Kranjska Gora

In the morning in the snow in Slovenia, in the afternoon in the sea in Istria! What a life!! I’m so grateful!!!

View from our balcony… looking forward to five more days of this: bliss!

The cat (Batman) , guardian of (broedplaats) “Karlo Rojc” in Pula ; with special greetings to @risataki !!

The cat, the photo of the cat & the photo of the photo of the cat!!

First evening out in Pula: cakes at “poslastičarnica” Charlie, dinner at menza/ cantina; lilacs & harbor at sunset; and rasterred shadow…

Dinner for us, dinner for cats :)

Energetic concert by an old band from Pula: “Atomsko Sklonište” & young band “Freaktion”; invited by Irena & family

Pula Aquarium, part 1: turtles all the way down! I like turtles! 🐢🐢🐢

Pula Aquarium, part 2 : Medusa / Kwall / jellyfish

Pula Aquarium, part 3: Fishes

Pula Aquarium, part 4: octopuses & chameleons

Very productive morning: coordinated CSA sharing, got help to fix the bike tire for the boyz, booked trip & hotel for the first leg of the return trip… the end of vacation is nearing…

Graffiti Art @ Karlo Rojc

Last day in Pula, last swim in the sea on this vacation!

NightJet to Amsterdam, #420… is 42 minutes late. Coincidence? I think not ;)

Last day of the trip: Ljubljana: the “cell” hostel, good food & good company: Zoran & Pupa

Last night of the trip: Austrian “postcards”, luxurious sleep-train cabin, & sunrise somewhere in Germany

Back home!!! Happy to be with my cat again!!! (& the end of this thread 🧵)
