Well, I'm home and
slowly getting sorted back to normal. Washing spinning and drying on
the line, clothes put away, snakes fed and happy! I thought I'd just
share a few of my holiday snaps (all Slovenia, bar one from
Oktoberfest!) and a few tips on eating Vegan abroad. You can see my other snaps on my Instagram!
We stayed near Lake
Bled when we were in Slovenia for two nights and it is the most
beautiful place. Very alpine and chocolate box looking. The Lake has
a church on an island in the middle of it with a wishing bell (no you
can't know what I wished for, I'm working on the same principle of
birthday wishes here!!) and a Castle on a cliff overlooking it, with
stunning views of the valley.
If you're travelling
to one country, it's a bit easier, but make sure you know the basic
food stuffs you can't eat in the local language. Dairy, Eggs, Milk
etc as well as Vegan and Vegetarian. Most people seemed happy to
help, but it was still a real struggle a couple of times in more
traditional places.
If you can take some
of your own food with you, or periodically stock up a little on fresh
produce, salad and fruit etc for lunches and snacks. I took soy milk
and cereal for breakfasts but did just fine with bread and jam most
days.
Research before you
go and find a couple of places along your way that you can be sure to
find something to eat. We tried a Vegan Restaurant in Cologne called
Past and Future and the food was delicious, everyone was incredibly
friendly and I'd love to go back!
If in doubt, order
salads with no dressing and chips! I feel like these balance each
other out nicely!!
We had an amazing
time and I'd love to go back and visit Slovenia again, and can't wait
to go back to Germany. Already planning the next trip!
Jo :)
