If you have time, don't hesitate to go to Albania. I went there this August and had a fantastic time! Montenegro too was great.
Re vignettes, I got stopped going into Switzerland and was told that, as the vehicle was over 3.5 tons, I'd have to pay a special tax. The good news was that, having paid the tax, I didn't need to buy a vignette! I actually saved money - which was a first.
Our van was originally plated at 3500 but we complained and had a new plate issued for 385o but we have not put the heavier plate in the van. It isd 3850 on the log book.
How do the Austrians (and Sloveynians) know what weight you are?Do they look at the log book, weigh your van, check the plate or is it up to you to say what you want?

im not sure, when going to austria we just pull into a german service station and ask for a vignette for austria, they never ask anything about weight etc so i just stick it in the window, slovenia there was a toll booth just before a really long tunnel (not sure of the name) and when we paid there we also asked for the vignette for slovenia, he never asked about weight and we were charged around 24 euros for the tunnel and the vignette.
when i get the van back from ford i will be able to tell you the exact price because i still have a the reciepts. we enjoyed the trip so much we are doing it again ourselfs in august, without booking anything.
well we have prebooked 5 nights at Lake Bled in Slovenia and reluctant to book anymore. Booked through ccc club. They are no longer doing Croatia next year as not enough people booked there!
We have allowed ourselves just under a week to get to Slovenia then after that we will have 3 weeks to explore Croatia. Just ordered the "Bord Atlas too as seen they have some sites in Croatia listed.
Anyone else travelled without booking in August?

Hi everyone, great to read of your journeys. Can I ask those who went to Montenegro if they got insurance before going or bought it at the border. Two years ago our insurance company wouldn't extend our green card to Montenegro.
thanks

I now see that someone has asked the same question earlier but didn't get any replies.
I envy you; Slovenia is a wonderful country with the friendliest people in Europe. We went to Slovenia and Croatia in September and did find busy campsites and in 2 places could not find a sea front pitch but there were always pitches. A lot of Germans spend the summer there - it's not far for them to go !
Check that your satnav has maps for these countries. Local garages and tourist offices in Slovenia have very good free maps which we found very helpful.
If you can learn a few words of the language you will find people will laugh with you and be tremendously helpful and pleased. I was surprised how like Russian the Croatian language is. The only time since leaving school that I have found any use for it !
