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…

Today we decided was going to be a beach day, but the beaches in Split are sooooo busy and not that inviting.  We had heard about the Makarska Riviera- about 50 km south of Split.  We headed out in search of a nice beach.  As soon as we were 10 mins south of Split it…

Sunday was our last day in Pozega- we woke up, packed our stuff and headed to Mato’s for a last coffee.  Then the whole family got together at German restaurant in a little town outside of Pozega for a huge last lunch together.  It was hard saying good bye – everyone is amazing and we…

  Another lazy morning- at breakfast Uncle Mato showed up and suggested we head to Velika pool for a few hours- this was a pool that Frank spent a lot of time at as a kid- he has very fond memories.  We got ready and headed to the pool for 10:30 ish.  What a huge…

Family at Stari Kapela   At about 4am the kokoš (goddamn rooster!!!) started crowing – we managed to get a little more sleep after that – but were awake for a while. We had a coffee and breakfast with Frank’s aunt and uncle and then headed over to Uncle Mato’s house- everyone was meeting here again today…

After a good sleep at the Villa Rossella- we woke up to a gorgeous Adriatic morning- the ocean looked incredible and this little town of Rovinji was wanting us to explore!  Unfortunately we did not have time to look around we were up and out and off to the car rental place by 9:30am.  We…
