What a feeling: In 2021, I've been for 6 month every Friday in Split with MSC Magnifica. I did all almost excursions which we offered, most of them for translations. Means, I'd say I know the city, it's surroundings and the history pretty well, but due to the pandemic, I never could go out from the ship by myself.
Today, I finally could explore the beautiful heart of Split on my own!!Les mer

Today, I explored the surroundings of Split by foot. As the weather has been much better than forecasted, I stopped first at the Kasjuni Beach. Than, I've been hiking around the Marjan Hill. Every corner offered a new breathtaking view on the Dalmatian coastline. The last point in today's program has been another stroll around the Diocletian's Palace.Les mer

What a beautiful day! I decided to go on an organized excursion to Mostar and the Kravica Waterfalls in Bosnia & Herzegovina today. The weather forecast has been very bad but the luck was on our side with no rain and even some sun! The day has been a full success! Apart from the landscape, the highlight of the day has definitely been the Bosnian Lunch!Les mer

Dubrovnik is probably one of the cruise ports about which the most has been discussed recently. Today, I've taken the bus from Split to Dubrovnik and before I will continue my trip today to Kotor, I had a couple of hours to visit Dubrovnik on my own. 3 ships have been in the port and the city already felt very overcrowded. The locals take advantage of the tourism and the prices are incredibly high. For example the ticket for the visit of the city wall costs 35 EUR per person!

Very frankly, I believe the city definitely lost its charm due to the tourism, unfortunately. I'm grateful for the impressions gained today but happy also to continue my journey without staying longer.Les mer

Yesterday, I arrived late in the evening in Kotor. Already in the darkness I've been positively surprised by the historical city center. But what I saw today, after having climbed the so called "ladder of Kotor", left me speechless. Neither pictures nor words can describe the beauty of the Kotor Bay, the fjord, and how it's surrounded by mountains.

The way up has been pretty steep, but at every corner, I wanted to stop to take another picture. After around half an hour uphill, a rain shower caught me, however, I was lucky enough to arrive exactly in that moment at a roof of the ruins. Some minutes later, it has been over already and to the top, it has been just a couple of steps more. The view has been simply awesome and breathtaking!!Les mer

Even though, the bus ride today from Kotor to Durrës took "only" 8 hours, patience was asked. There has been almost no highway and the bus has been completely full. Also the border crossing between Montenegro and Albania took a while, as the entire bus needed to show the passport at both customs.

After having checked in at the hostel, I went out to check the neighborhood. I really struggle to describe the vibes of Durrës. For sure, I arrived in the heart of the Balkan and I'm getting closer to the Orient. The atmosphere, without judgement, changed compared to the countries I've visited in the last weeks. Tradition and culture are clashing with modernity and development, that's the feeling I have so far. Let's see, which other impressions I'll gain tomorrow of Durrës...Les mer

Well, today I left the hostel with the intention of having a relaxing beach. I was walking for around 40 min until I arrived at the famous Durrës Beach. I believe, a storm recently came in here and brought a lot of seaweed and mudd. As the season anyway is already over, the beach hasn't been cleared at all from that and also the promenade seemed to be abandoned already. Just a couple of coffee shops and very few hotels still were open. Therefore, it wasn't worth it staying there and I made my way back to the city center. From there, I tried my luck in the opposite direction. The water already looked much cleaner and clearer and finally I found a spot at the beach!

The highlight of the day, however, has been definitely the sunset...Les mer

Today's bus ride from Durrës to Skopje has been pretty long with almost 9 hours. As there was almost no highway, the view on the landscape has been great. The border between Albania and North Macedonia we've crossed somewhere in nowhere on a hill. Directly afterwards, we've been passing through a forest and more hills. Just about an hour before Skopje, we took the highway. It has been a long day but the landscape has been worth it!Les mer

Today, I've been exploring the city center of Skopje. As Skopje is not very known for city trips, I didn't have an idea what to expect from this city, honestly. But I was wrong; my (barely existing) expectations definitely have been exceeded!

I started my day with the visit of the Old Bazar, which completely surprised me. This quarter has so many things to offer, such as cozy cafés, restaurants and shops. Strolling through the alleys was definitely fun!

My second stop today has been the Fortress of Skopje, just a couple of minutes away from the Bazar. The entrance to the fortress has been free of charge, the only thing was, that it has been "at own risk", as it was written...

As last part of the day, I passed at the modern city center, where also many shops are located.

I need to admit, that I had certain concerns about North Macedonia before I came. After todays experience, I'm convinced from the opposite. The locals are very friendly, starting conversations just on the street and letting you feel welcomed in their country.
Someone even asked my "why are you visiting Macedonia?". Well, from tourism aspect, the country is still developing but exactly that's the charm of it. Tomorrow I'll visit the country side and I'm already curious about seeing more of North Macedonia!Les mer

Today, I did an organized trip to the countryside of Skopje / Macedonia. The entire group has been only 7 people, what reflects the number of tourists around...

The first stop of the tour has been at the Matka Canyon, where we've done a boat ride further into the canyon and to a cave. The landscape has been very beautiful!

The second part of the tour went up first by car than by cable car to the top of Vodno Mountain, just behind Skopje. Also here, the view has been worth it!Les mer
