Croatia 28th July to Aug 10th.
You don’t have to read all this it’s mainly for mum and dad.
Sorry bare w me as I catch up on all my penguin posts. Began Croatia in Dubrovnik and also celebrated my birthday there!! The beaches in Dubrovnik have been my favourite so far, the water was so so clear and most of the entry points were along the rocks with ladders to get down. Everything was hilly so getting home always involved climbing 300 steep steps. we visited the old town which was beautiful and we enjoyed just taking our time strolling through the streets. Went to a club for my birthday inside an old castle that was a real treat!! Next leg of the trip was Makarska which we thought was just a random town but turned out to be kinda the Croatian Gold Coast equivalent, the beaches were absolutely PACKED with Croatian tourists and there were resorts, casinos the works. We walked to a secluded beach called Noogle beach (also packed) which included a nudey beach ;) highlight of the trip so far. Next up on our agenda was Split, definitky the most touristy of the Croatian destinations. The prices were crazy and we spent our two days there exploring the old town and eating fast food; the only thing we could afford. Had dinner with Maddie and Eva, two girls we know from Melbourne which was lovely! Bussed to Zagreb (capitol) for our final stop. It was very much a different vibe than the Dalmatian coast but so beautiful in its own way. We were staying right by the centre square. Did some touristy shopping and visited the many many museums Zagreb has to show like the museum of broken relationships, the museum of 80’s Yugoslavia and the cannabis museum(which we sadly missed). Celebrated Rosie’s birthday while in Zagreb and took her to a bakery cafe that really reminded me of Melbourne and then sat in our favourite park to relax. Croatia was a really special experience and probably my favourite country so far❤️❤️Read more
