Split - night 1
9. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
What a great way to start our first night. Easy 3.5 hour direct flight from Edinburgh to Split. A driver who picked us up and a quick dinner and to bed.
We really love that it’s a 1 hour timeWeiterlesen
Walking Around our Neighborhood
10. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Marc headed out early today and did some shopping for our “regular” house basics. Bread, meats, cream, coffee, yoghurt and juice.
Then we both did our walk about through and around ourWeiterlesen
Rain in Split Doesn’t Fool Around
12. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
When it rains in Split in the summer it rains! Buckets and buckets and huge rain drops. We are staying in for a while but I’ve got a craving for Mexican food. If it clears up enough we will ventureWeiterlesen
Split - catch up post
13. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

Krka National Park
14. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
A bus tour with 40 complete strangers is not our favorite way to visit anything, but I can honestly say this one was amongst our best.
A reasonable start time of 8:15 was a good start.
Hour bus rideWeiterlesen
Trogir
18. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
In the other side of the bay is the town of Trogir. It felt similar to Split without the Palace and without sooo many tourists but still many.
Lively narrow streets and a central plaza withWeiterlesen
Klis Fortress
18. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Bus tour stop at Klis Fortress. Originally built by the Romans but added to over and over by each subsequent army. It’s such an obvious spot for a fortress.
The walls and structures seem prettyWeiterlesen
Salona
19. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
This is a Roman archeological site. Salina had an interesting history of growth and then abandonment. At its height it was home to 60,000 Roman’s but after Rome fell, the people didn’t feel safeWeiterlesen
Shopping Mall
19. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F

Omis
21. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 97 °F
The Adriatic Coast is wonderful. Full of old towns and lots of water front with beaches. Not huge long sweeping beaches that are hundred yards long like Maui, little tiny beaches. Some no more than 12Weiterlesen
We Are Having a Heat Wave….
21. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
The past two days have been brutally hot. Up to 100’sF and there is some sort of inversion of haze that is blocking out the visibility like a fog, but it is also bouncing the heat keeping the tempsWeiterlesen
Hvar daytrip
22. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
The town of Hvar is on the island of Hvar, about 47K from Split. The fast catamaran ferry gets there in about one hour. I went for a day.
This is a very busy tourist town. Full of boats for hire andWeiterlesen
More Mostar

Mostar- Bosnia Hertzagovina
23. Juni 2024 in Bosnien-Herzegowina ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
Less than 2 hour drive and we crossed the border into another country. Bosnia Herzegovina with a difficult past and it is a recent past. I won’t attempt to explain the civil war and the events bothWeiterlesen
Pilgrimage to Medugorje
23. Juni 2024 in Bosnien-Herzegowina ⋅ ☀️ 93 °F
Our second stop in Bosnia-Herzegovina was the small town of Medugorje. This town is the 4th most popular Catholic Pilgrimage destination in Europe. Big surprise for me!
Long story short, six teenagersWeiterlesen
Island Catamaran
25. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
Today we are heading to Dubrovnik. There is a surprisingly limited number of ways to get down coastal Croatia.
The train tracks don’t go south beyond Split. And a bus ride works but recently theWeiterlesen

Budva - Last Stop in Montenegro
26. Juni 2024 in Montenegro ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
We crossed the mountains to the coast. Again, another walled city. This was the smallest of the three we saw today. It was interesting to see several very large cruise ships in what appeared to be aWeiterlesen
Dubrovnik
27. Juni 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
We woke up and headed out of Dubronik. Our ferry was at 2:15 so we had extra time to explore. We headed to the gondola. A bit expensive 27€ each but we did it.
Wow! What a view. Also a restaurantWeiterlesen
Kortcula - island stop

Retired Roman Emperor

Road Trip Views
2. Juli 2024 in Kroatien ⋅ 🌬 77 °F
On the two hour drive to Zadar we avoided toll roads and took smaller roads. Croatia has mountains, olive trees, vineyards and some very small passages that they call streets. Not all of our path wasWeiterlesen
