how we got through Croatia
... to where our driver was heading. After several km we caught a Turkish man, another lorry driver. While we were driving through the whole Croatia, I managed to catch up with sleep in the cabin bed of the Turkish man, for about 1,5h. At 5pm we were around ...
Leaving Hvar, Wandering Around Split & The Train
We still weren't feeling 100% ourselves the day we were to leave Hvar so we slept in as late as we could before having to get our bags out of the room and then just sat upstairs working on the blog while we waited until it was time to ...
Sunny Days!!
... path through the bushes to the beach ended up being a bit of a cliff to walk down but we managed. The thing about beaches in Croatia is that they are all mostly pebble beaches not sand. This one was the same and so we ended up renting a couple beach ...
Can't get enough of Hvar!
Once again we decide to extend our glorious stay at the Amfora hotel in Hvar and completely write-off Split. We wake up just in time to get the last available room and surprise, surprise, we have to change rooms again. We head down to ...
Don't mention Harry Kewell...
Hot. So fucking hot. Near Zagreb's main square, I lounge on beautifully comfortable couches, protected from death by magnificent, flaring umbrellas, accompanied by an espressoand ice tea. In the draining heat, the coffee keeps me awake, the latter ...
pearl of the Adriatic Sea
POLSKI: Ponownie szlismy spory kawal drogi, nie bylo gdzie stanac, bo droga byla bez pobocza i przez dluzszy moment bez chodnika. W koncu stanelismy na jakims kawalku skwerka przed prywatnym domem i stamtad zabralo nas malzenstwo w srednim wieku. ...
The Anniversary Special
... We thought the 4 -6 hour tour looked about right to us. We weren't alone by any means here as it is one of Croatia's most popular natural tourist attractions, but there were still times when we were all alone along the walking trails. The trails wander ...
On to Zagreb... last stop on our epic train trip
We get into Belgrade at 7 am and walked around downtown for 3 hours before hopping back on the train to Zagreb. Zagreb is beautiful and we walk around before finding an outdoor café/restaurant to have dinner at and watch the Euro 2008 finals. ...
Lazy In Starigrad... Again!
... (A$16) but cut the trip down to four hours. We stayed in the same place that we stayed last week but paid an extra 35 Kuna (A$8) for a room with a kitchen. Next we get back on the tourist trail with what is apparently one of Croatia's ...
Hvar town by way of Bosnia
I head straight to the old town to do a walk on the city walls before finding a good spot at the hotel beach to finally fall asleep for a few hours. I wake up and grab the "complementary" breakfast yet again before returning to my "bed" and falling ...
Horrible Bus Ride and Waiting for Sunny Days
We woke up early so we decided we would take the earlier bus at 8:30 instead of 9:30 so we could maybe spend some time in Split. We did notice that that bus stopped in Zadar and we would have to switch buses but we figured it was ok and we figured ...
Croatia Part 1
... acid had dissolved and was wreaking havoc in our stomach, our gas ran out halfway through cooking tea (and the biggest campsite in Croatia didn't sell gas), the dryers had broke so our clean clothes began to smell, and it didn't stop raining for 3 days. ...
Crystal Clear Blue Green Water and Waterfalls
... place but we had a little map and had seen a picture on the listing so after asking once we found the right place....what`s with Croatia and their lack of signs? We couldn`t put our stuff in the room but the place was small and felt safe so we ...
Let's go to Dubrovnik this morning...
I wake up early and head down to the Croatia Airlines office at 8 am as we have decided that enough is enough with the trains... I book flights for us that leave 3 hours later and then go for a run around the old city. We have breakfast and head to ...
Hanging in Hvar
I was off to Hvar today, apparently it is the place to be right now, and is also the sunniest of all the Croatian islands. I got up early to make sure I got a ticket for the catamaran boat, I haven't had a lie-in past about 8.30am yet, urgh. ...

Dubrovnik
Before we even got off the bus the touts were marking their intended victims. Our man´s brochure looked promising so we jumped in his van. He had said the bus station was a 10 minute walk away and the old town was 15 minutes away. We sped up a hill ...
Montenegro for dinner... really???
It's JULY!!! REALLY!!! I head down to the hotel and enjoy the "complementary" breakfast before heading to the rocks/beach to secure a good spot... We spend the morning swimming and relaxing beachside. I head upstairs to get the rental car ...
The old town of Dubrovnik
Day 6 (Dubrovnik) Open the curtains and we're sailing down the Croatian coastline. We go to breakfast around 7:30. The croissants don't get 10 stars today, but the breakfast is good. Head out on deck and we're approaching Dubrovnik. ...
Dalmatian coast, Croatia
... and unspoilt mountains of Abruzzo on the way. From Pescara it was a quick 30 minute trip on the plane over to Split in Croatia. Izm staying in a private room, just off the central square of Split town, and next to the Dioclesian palace (dating from the ...
Starigrad
13th - 15th August 2007. We've been really busy at this stop. Swimming, reading, eating, swimming... We have been staying near a town called Starigrad in a small apartment block right on the water. That's right no more camping. Our room is about 15 ...
Dubrovnik
Despite what the photos suggest the weather has not been lovely, and we suffered several days of torrential rain. From lovely (but wet) Korcula island I caught the bus to DUbrovnik. Izm staying in a nice house with two Australian girls, about 15 minutes ...
Coke a day keeps booze away
From the strange news file: A Croatian man has drunk nothing but Coca-Cola for the past 40 years after making a promise to his mother that he would not touch alcohol. Pero Ajtman, 71, of Karanac, started drinking Coke in 1968 and has vowed to carry ...
Relaxing in Hvar Heaven
We wake up slowly and wind up extending our stay in Hvar another night but have to change rooms. We set up shop at the hotel pool and enjoy a relaxing day by the pool and beach doing not much of anything other than having fun and meeting new ...
Dubrovnik
... was a real stinker. We spent our days swimming and reading and exploring this incredible coastline. We hadn't done much research on Croatia before we left but we think it has overtaken Switzerland as our favourite country in Europe. The people are the ...
Chapter 51: Drunken Island Hopping
The Friday morning ferry to Korcula left at 8am, which was unfortunate but manageable. The boat was enormous and full of backpackers, which made me feel like I was back in Thailand! The trip was freezing and windy at first due to poor seat choices, but ...
Zagreb
... were some interesting statues, sculptures and fountains around the city too. After the four ancient towns we'd visited in Croatia, this was a complete turnaround. It had a very western european feel. It was really enjoyable. We had bought onward ...
Kicking Back in Pula
From Hvar Island I went to Split on the mainland, a nice place in a palm tree kind of way and it had a lovely old town. I only stayed for one night, their wasn't really any area to swim, unable to shop and eager to relax, Split want really where I ...
Mostar to Dubrovnik
... was but I don't think the hapless owner got it back. We speculated about what might pass for contraband in the trade between Bosnia and Croatia. We arrived in Dubrovnik and found an ATM to get some kuna (about 4.3 kuna to $1) then took a cab ride to the ...
