  A CRAZY MIND CREATES CRAZY TIMES   I attended our Ireland TravBuddy Get-Together in Bunratty. Originally, I planned on spending six days in enchanting Eire before heading to Brussels for a four-day easyCruise riverboat journey ending in Amsterdam. However, I was informed that ea…

I always wanted to visit the Balkans by car and this summer we did it; Amongst others Shkodar in Albania, Mostar in Bosnia, Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia, Slovenia and the whole coast of Montenegro. My girlfriend Kaija and I started the car without any serious goals other than have a good time and see as much as possible - and so we did.

South of Zagreb, south of the airport, the city suddenly ends and miles and miles of tall forests and farms opens up.  I took a Saturday afternoon drive with Zvonka and her dad Hrvoje down to see some of the ancient wooden houses - some built 300 years ago - in the villages south of …

Winter season in Split. It is time to make up town. Riva is under great reconstruction. Everything is changing. The prime purpose is to relay the asphalt properly. Of course there will be new landscaping involved and a new surface. Reconstruction was completed in May 2007. Inside of Diocletian …

This is always the worst part of the trip. The realization that it's time to go home. I don't think I've ever been ready to go home, no matter how long I've been away.This time is especially hard, having to leave my friend behind again for at least half a year, maybe more. We'd spent 3 weeks, …

Landed in Zadar around 9.30 in the evening upon exiting the airport there was taxi driver offering a ride to Zadar town with the same price as bus 25 Kuna. He dropped us( with other passengers) at main bus station and from there I made my way to the hostel by another bus. The hostel was so confuse…

What's a Sljeme? It's the high peak of Medvednica Mountain overlooking Zagreb from the north. This is another well taken care of national park, popular with the locals on weekends. The heavily wooded mountain is topped by a huge communication tower, a couple "mountain houses" serving hearty food…

Croatia is a truly beautiful country. This week away, to escape recent stresses of work, left me feeling relaxed and refreshed as well as being an adventure. We stayed a few miles outside of Dubrovnik on the Babin Kuk peninsula,  which provided the most stunning views of the Adriatic Sea, the …

Last day before going back home. We had a nice Sunday. No places were open but we walked around the city, went to the zoo, spent time at folklore festival and ate well again. The last Harry Potter was published the day before and we desperately tried to find some book store or anything where my fri…

Nick, Lucy, Moriah, Kate and I rented a car and we drove to Krka National Park. Al's directions to the hostel were less than perfect, but we managed somehow to find our way there. The highway infrastructure in Croatia seems really well developed, almost indistinguishable from the states. People in …

I stayed with my aunt in the "old town". I went with my best friend. Every morning we'd wake up at sunrise and go to bed late, past midnight. We were exhasted, yes, but the sights, sounds, and aromas were spell binding, especailly the sea food!
