  • Day 2

    June 28, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    Just completed a tour on a Tuk Tuk! One of the coolest things I have ever done. Ilir was our guide and he was amazing! His knowledge and personality made the ride amazing. It was about a two hour ride to various POV’s around the City. Shared the tour with a nice couple from Holland.Read more

  • Day 3 part 2

    June 29, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

    Headed out to Lokrum Island to continue GOT Tour. Then headed back to Old Town! Lokrum is a Nature Preserve and nobody is allowed to stay the night. It’s overrun by Peacocks due to Maximillian Hapsburg bring them there to his Summer Home. I sat on the Iron Throne and I also ran into a friend and fellow KHS Staff Member Stacey Nett! So funny!Read more

  • Day 4 part 1

    June 30, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

    Explored the Old City Walls this am. Such an amazing experience. Still have so many other things left to explore in the Old City. Plan is to return in the evening when it cools off. I am planning on attending a play inside the Old Fort tonight at 9:30 pm “Around the World in 80 Days”.Read more

  • Day 6

    July 2, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    Well, had plans to get up early and head to Old Town and kill some time before the tour Group Arrives. Today is Day 1 with the Tour Group and we will be spending the next 10 days traveling up the Coast of Croatia and into Northern Italy. My final stop is Venice, but many are going through to Florence. The weather was horrible last night, with high winds and tons of rain. I have a room facing the Adriatic and I woke up to large amounts of water accumulation on my floor. The wind and rain was so powerful that it came under the door to the balcony. No worries though, nothing got damaged. So now I’m just waiting out the bad weather and in the process of transitioning to a new Hotel. So looks like no exploring Old Town Today and I’m told nothing really happens when it rains here because so many shops and restaurants are primarily outside spaces and can really run things when the wind and rain are whipping around. Supposed to clear up by evening time.Read more

    Spent the day hanging at the hotel due to poor weather but enjoyed myself nonetheless. Was able to get some reading done and took a much needed nap. Mike and Steph arrived along with the rest of the crew! Two more nights in Dubrovnik and then moving North towards Italy.Read more

  • Day 7 Final Day in Dubrovnik ❤️

    July 3, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    Today we did a Historical Your of Old Town and then I did some sights on my own as many in the group headed up to do the Walls, which I had done previously. So I checked out the Rectors Palace and several churches. We also toured the former Monastery. I also found time to take pictures of more cats! They are everywhere around here. Tonight we are taking a boat ride around the Adriatic side of the Old City. Then we will dock to eat dinner and have a swim at a popular local beach. Then a stroll through the city at night. Pictures to follow.Read more

    We took a short boat ride around the walls of the Old City and over to a beachside restaurant. Had an amazing dinner, that included a delicious octopus salad, had a swim, and then walked through the Old City at night, which was a really cool perspective I hadn’t experienced.Read more

  • Old Town Split at Night

    July 5, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    Walked back to Old Town Split today for a nice dinner with the crew! Amazing food! Had Veal and Gnocchi! It was amazing! The only time I have eaten Veal and probably the last time. It was really good but I feel so bad for the baby cows! Anyway, we had a private room in a really nice restaurant and the staff was amazing! We then headed out to explore Old Town at night.Read more

  • Day 13

    July 9, 2024 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    Today did a side trip to Slovenia to see a Castle that is just inside the opening of a cave. The largest of its type in the world. We also visited an actual cave. It was amazing! Inside the cave lives a Salamander that can go 10 years without eating and heart rate is about 2 beats per minute.Read more

  • Day 14

    July 10, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F

    We arrived in Venice. Highlights of the day were a water taxi ride to the Hotel and an amazing dinner. The hotel we stayed in was in the heart of Venice and had such amazing charm. It is situated in a building that dates back to the 14th Century.Read more
