I have always heard very well about Dubrovnik but when I made up my mind to visit it I preferred not to see any photos or pictures of the town in advance. So when I crossed the Polluce gate introducing to the old town of Dubrovnick the image opening in front of my eyes was really surprising and marvelous.

We awoke quite late and both paid a little for the dark ale we consumed the night before.  This couldn’t damped our spirits or lower our anticipation for the day ahead though. Croatia were to play Brazil in a World Cup group match and walking out into the main square we could already sense t…

Round 3 of my European trips...Did the Volvo Overseas Delivery Program for my new Volvo S60R :) Picked up my car in Sweden, then went through Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, stayed a while in Croatia, then spent some time in Germany.

The train ride to Rijeka was pretty uneventful. We got stopped for passport control twice and I fell asleep for part of it. We arrived into Rijeka around 5:30pm. I only saw the area of the train station and the port but the town looked pretty run down to me. It seemed that everything was falling ap…

I had read many superaltives about Dubrovnik when doing my research. Nothing prepares you for what you see here. It is one of those places......that has the ability to transport you and your thoughts and feeling to a different level. It's very special to me.

from children i had dreams to travel,to visit and to know new places,people,cultures,to live experiences i do not know, maybe i am looking for:something,someone, maybe himself? i have no idea, at the moment i am an engineer looking for a lot of things around,to travel is part of me,sometimes people do not think that the life is only a space of time,i need to travel to writte the book of my life,to dress my time on the earth with UNITED COLOURS OF LIFE.... i hope to travel AROUND THIS WORLD

In addition to a dense pine forrest.  Lokrum is rich in Mediterranian and sub-tropic vegetation, and because of extraordinary natural beauty it was declared a national park.  In the south-eastern part of Lokrum, amidst dense vetetation, is an old Benedictine monastery from the 12th centua…

Another unique Zadar-thing: "Barkica", the "little boat" is a common means of transportation in Zadar. To get from the main land to the peninsula you can either walk (or drive) to it where the peninsula meets the main land, or take the pedestrian bridge across Jazine bay about half way of the penin…

….the city centre was not only an original old Roman historical place but moreover an ordinary living area. This combination was unconventional and immersive…..
