Here are some photos of my latest holiday to Rab(Croatia)

Arriving in Dubrovnik:  We arrived at the port of Dubrovnik about a mile or two down the coast from the Old City.  The cabs were lined up to take us to the Old City for about 10 euros, if my memory is correct.  Of course the cruise ship had pre-arranged buses but they are always more…

Split in Dalmatia, main town in the middle coast of Adriatic sea, town of my childhood where i spend the happiest time of my life, surounded with beautiful sea,old Diocletian palace and Marjan hill...smell of old Romans period, than fishermans who lived in Old Varos around palace,until today when Split became modern city and harbour from where you can go and visit beautiful islands around ... but first to start with some photos of Split ...

During my 10 day croatian vacation i have learned several words. I really like the language because it is sooo similar to russian and ukrainian and funny because of how you pronounce same words differently. Thats how my poor vocabulary looks (Croats, I'm sorry for misspelling): Oprostite, Hvala, …

We had decided that it was worth it every morning to get up and photograph the arrival of the ship into each Port O'Call.  Although most mornings was just me getting up to look out the window, still watched all the port arrivals!! LOL.  After leaving Venice, Dubrovnik was the first stop a…

Several years ago brothers Vinko and Mihovil Kajmak decided to make a pledge by their own. Their parents were natives of Posedarje, but spent most of their lives in northern Croatia, the nostalgia for home never ceasing. I don't know the whole story, but I remember the time the brothers first came …

The final stop is Dubrovnik. I am glad i have seen this before the war had done it's damage. Dubrovnik was very special to see. But the coffee!!!! you can't drink it. It was our first expirience with another kind of coffee. A small cup with very dark coffee, do not stir because the thick sedim…

    This city is outstanding.  it's about the same size as edmonton, but the sense of community and the vitality of the populace puts edmonton (and even some other european places we've visited) to shame.  Its not a big tourist town at all (the vast majority of tourists spe…

Biograd na moru & Novi Vinodolski

As soon as we walked off the ferry in Split, a woman came up and asked if we needed accomodation. Her english was good, and it was 100 kunas (about $20) each per night, so we went with her. The apartment was in a good location, very close to the ferry, but was basically a dump. It smelled badly of …

Hi Everyone!Sorry for the delay in updates but internet has been hard to find.So from last photo update when we were in the Amalfi Coast we spent a long day driving all the way to Sicily. but was worth it as we spent a night in Taormina, a gorgeous village on a hill, with a beautiful beach below. W…

I adore Croatia. I grew up there so I guess I'm a little biased. But it really is beautiful. I love the cities, the country side, but especially the seaside. It really is a nice place.

We flew from Luton to Split, and were obviously fairly excited. We'd pre-booked our first night's accommodation so we didn't have anything to worry about. When we got there, it turned out to be n entire apartment, and, although cheap, was about 7 times the price of something else we could find! So …
