Saying farewell to Split, we pick up our rental car from the airport and make our way to our next stop for three nights, Bibinje.
Driving on the equivalent of the German autobahn, with a speed limit of 130kms, car racing past and before we know it, opps, did someway say 150km's....😗😗
On the way, we take in the incredible Krka National Park, with amazing waterfalls, and Vistovac Island, the site of Franciscan Monastery of Our Lady of Mercy and the Church of Our Lady of Visovac, among the most important natural and cultural values of the Republic of CroatiaRead more
TravelerAmazing area and interesting history we learnt when visiting the small island that is owned by the Franciscan’s (an order of Catholic church)

Our second to last stop here in Croatia
A visit to Zadar, but otherwise sunbathing and floating in the sea, our only agendaRead more
TravelerI reckon Austria will be huge cultural shock after Croatia. This place is so colourful and vibrant.

Traveler Castles are mind blowing. How did they build them without all the fancy dancy equipment we have now.

TravelerAmazing eh, we asked the same question and this was one of the reasons the poor were taxed so much, to pay for the grandiose schemes of the nobility

Traveler I’d forgotten that Hunderwasser building was there. Is it one house or apartments? I’ve always assumed it was apartments
6/8/24Reply
TravelerApartments, this was the very first one he designed though there are many others dotted around the City, but this is the one known as Hunderwasser House

Sisi Museum
June 7, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Today, we attended a performance of the International renowned Spanish Riding School, with the world famous Lipizzan horses located in the heart of Vienna's Hofburg Imperial Palace
Unfortunately, no photography was permitted while the horses were performing, only at the very end.
Next, we visited Sisi Museum - in honour of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary (known affectionatelyby her family members as Sisi,) who was betrothed to Emperor Franz Joseph I at 15 years of age until her death by assassination in 1898Read more
Traveler What fantastic building to sit in. I imagine it was hugely expensive but I’d say even if the horses were unco it would be worth the money.
