43) Citroen GS trip on Adriatic Highway (10/May/2014)

A great trip with three Citroen GSes on Adriatic Highway in Croatia.
Adriatic Highway is a very scenic road which follows the Adriatic coast from Rijeka to Montenegro.
We drove in the Northern part.
Start was in Bakarac.
We then had a pit stop in Senj.
In Sveti Juraj, we drove up to Velebit (to Krasno).
The next stop was an airfield near Otočac, with an old DC-3 Dakota.
Then on to Gospić and Oštarijska vrata pass (928 m).
From the pass, we drove down to Karlobag, and back towards Senj.
This was the most spectacular part, with great views of the sea, the coast and the islands.
The video ends with seafood dinner in Sveti Juraj.

42) Laganini Raid (29/Mar/2014)

Laganini Raid is an easy-going event which usually takes place on the coast of Slovenia.
The Raid is organised by Saša Šoštarič, who is the man behind Laganini guided tours of Slovenian coast and Istria:

People come to Laganini Raid with their 2CVs, Dyanes, Amis and Meharis, but any other car is welcome (especially if it's an old Citroen).
We gathered at Socerb castle, on a hill above Trst (Trieste). From the castle, we had great views of the Bay of Trieste, and the cities of Koper and Trst.
A scenic drive through the countryside and tiny villages followed.
We stopped on a hill above Sočerga border crossing (between Slovenia and Croatia).
Then there was a short hike to a tiny waterfall.
Finally, we visited Abitanti, a once deserted village which is now settled again.
After a great lunch at Abitanti, we drove on high roads above the coast a little more, and the day ended with a picnic near Lucija.
