Thought I'd write a short overview over how I did with the travel capsule you can see here.

First off, I was super glad to have my rain jacket, jeans and sneakers for Austria! Just right. And I did a last minute addition at home because I wore my wool cardigan in the car the morning we left. I only wore it on the first three days, but I was glad to have it. I could have left the breton shirt at home though, same as my denim jacket. Croatia was much too hot and I preferred the cardigan and rain jacket beforehand. And I didn't wear the thin longsleeved shirt, not even once.

My dad's sun hat was a godsend, I wore the hat and my sunglasses most of the time. And I mostly wore the three dresses. It was very hot (at least to me) and the dresses made it bearable. I wore a bralette instead of a proper bra with them and especially the two jersey dresses were perfect to throw over the bikini on beach days. I only wore the shorts on three days I think, including the car trip home. The swim shoes worked out perfectly, they stayed on my feet, were comfortable and looked good. And I'm so glad I bought those slides at the last minute (although you can see they were cheap, they have taken a beating already) - I was almost eaten alive by mosquitoes at the start of the holiday and I couldn't stand to wear my sandals because I had maybe ten to fifteen bites around both ankles. So I wore the slides way more than my sandals.

I did pack a second bikini, but I didn't need it. It all dried quickly anyway... So all in all I definitely packed too much "just in case" stuff!

The following pics are a mix of "outfit" pics and scenery, taken by three different cameras and my phone (so quality might vary). I didn't carry around my DSLR all that often because I didn't want to take it to the beach, I often simply used my phone.

#1-4 Austria

Hiking wasn't a problem with my sneakers and jeans because it didn't rain. I had to fight my vertigo, but it was worth it!

#5-7 Vizula/ Cape Kamenjak

My dad took the canoe...

#8-11 Labin

Rainy day and later a crazy trip on single track roads over the mountains.

#12-15 Pula

Lots of Roman architecture.

#16-18 Fazana

Had one of the best Pizzas ever here.

#19-20

Boat trip.

#21-26 Rovinj

The old town was beautiful. The view from the bell tower was great, but the stairs up there were the worst - I swear I died a thousand deaths.

#27 Cape Kamenjak

Early in the day, before the masses arrived.
