Friday was our last full day in Europe and Zagreb. Our apartment being so close to it all was great and we headed out for the market- Dolac. This is a huge what we would call farmers market, but with tons of very cool stands. We spent a good few hours wandering and absorbing the…

Thursday we had to leave this beautiful island of Hvar.  The ferry to Split only runs a few times a day so we had to be sure that we made the 11 am ferry.  We left at 9:15 to make the 17km trip to Stari Grad and the ferry.  We arrived and were in the…

Pokojni Dol Beach       We rented a paddle boat/slide for an hour-fun! Waking up to a gorgeous Hvar morning we thought we would head into town for breakfast.  That was not a good idea- most restaurants have great food- breakfast was not so good.  But we ate up had a coffee, walked up…

Tuesday morning early- 9ish – we left the gorgeous Dubrovnik behind!  Headed up the coastal D8 highway en route to Drvenik the ferry terminal to Sucuraj on the island of Hvar.  It took about 2 hours on the winding, single lane highway from Dubrovnik- once again the BMW’s, Audis and Mercs of the world tailing…

      Monday was an early wake up!  The bus was picking us up at the hotel up the street to take us to our boat for a day on the water!  We were up at 6:45 to catch the bus at 8:15- we were on schedule and at the harbour in minutes.  The…

Saturday we had intended to wake up early and walk the ancient wall that surrounds Dubrovnik. We wanted to beat the heat and the crowds. The only thing we managed to do was beat the crowds- as there weren’t any.  We got to the wall and it was already hot- but up we went! We…

Saturday morning we left Split for the 3 hour drive to Dubrovnik.  We made a false start along the coastal highway but realised this was going to be a long, backed up route.  We headed inland to the A1 and off we went- driving at our granny pace of 140km’s/hour!  We were on this highway…

Friday and our last day in Split- I had said this was the day I would like to visit Trogir. A little town about 20 minutes north of us that is an entire Unesco Heritage site.  Unesco sites visited so far: Paris- banks of the Seine Venice Plitvice Lakes Diocletians Palace Trogir we have vistited…

Thursday July 18th, and we were headed to the island of Brac today.  We drove to the ferry which is a 2 min drive and got into the line up for the ferry to Supetar- ran in to buy our tickets and then the ferry loaded.  There is no real order here, the foot passengers,…

Another gorgeous day on the coast- today was the day to explore Split. First we headed to the stadium where Hadjuk Split play- Frank wanted to see it.     Then we parked the car back at the apartment and walked into town- about a 15 minute walk. We were on the Riva in no…
