Day 101 Towers; Forts & new destinations

Saturday 30/06/2018 Apartment Vuksa Ribnjak ulica 54, Zagreb, 10000, Croatia

Another day of unseen sights ahead..
We leave Zagreb this am and head to hmmmm, we aren’t even sure where we are off to... we booked a unit in the north part of Croatia... kind of in the middle of it all, but also so we could have sea views..
It was very expensive though stay in the northern parts must be very popular, anywhere that’s cheap is less popular... that’s ok suits us just fine....

Before we hear off we give Kristian and Kate a call! We do this every Sat AM out time PM their time, we call it James day... making it regularly seems to be working he is starting to know us!!! He even gives me blow kisses now I taught him to do a few weeks back! So now we get a blow kiss and a wave! He even looks straight at us in the camera, it’s lovely that he is responding so well to us not being with him physically! Thank goodness for face to face technology! Said our goodbyes then.. packed and off from our little apartment in Zagreb, it was comfortable but very dark and if no lights on a bit depressing...

So off we headed with a plan to head up the mountains to the ski centre about 10 up the mountain... boy did we climb, up, up, up..... hairpin after hair pin... finally the radio and telecommunications towers came into view..... then some ski lodges now summer lodges and a few little restaurants and cafes dotted here and there....We parked up near a lovely old stone church! Kind off out of the way, but John found it worth a look hit sure! Headed back to the coffee shop or cafe we saw up the road! Had coffee and apple strudel!!! The lady had a collection of different magnets on her till and as I had some Aussie boomerang magnets, I headed out to the car to get her one! She was chuffed! Nice to be able to share them!

I have been leaving one of these and a koala around each place we stay as a thank you.., when I remember that is!

Time to go so off we headed to find the Fortress Medvedgrad it is a 13th century this and many like it were built in Central Europe to defend against the continual invasion against the Tatars!

Once we found it! It was free to go in ad it was under reconstruction! Not as big as we thought it would be, but still worth a visit!

Then off we set and headed towards now what is this place called! Do you think I could find it’s name, we had an address but couldn’t find the name of the apartment!

Well some how we found it and wow did we get a surprise! It was a little dearer to stay here but cheaper than most! We are higher in the hills but still have an unreal view of the ocean! I feel so blessed to be here it’s just so lovely!

I had done stuff for dinner and a quick drive down the hill to a very new supermarket not far from us! Got a few supplies back up the hill to see our amazing view! The ocean is neatly like a mirror so calm and peaceful looking!

Our host Mareena is lively settled us in! There are at least 6 very neat nit old units and a small granny type unit to the side! Tastefully decorated in Shabby Shek style! But still very comfortable and will be great for the week! Czytaj więcej
