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…

Opening times for churches and museum's are not accurate in the guide book as we found out. Most places open in the morning then close for lunch and reopen again in the afternoon. Start early if you want to see all the sites in one day. We started at St Mary's church, we wanted to see the Gold a…

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…

Okay, so last night, I met a few very very cute British and Scottish boys. Mar was tired so she went to sleep but I decided to go out to the nearby bar for a beer with them. Omgosh, talk about crude. I know that not all Brits are as disgusting as they are. I dont need to hear about their sluttines…

On Monday we were in Croatia and we booked a tour to the Krka River Falls. These were falls in a national park we had seen on PBS and they were really beautiful. This would have been impossible to see on our own, as we had to be on a bus for almost an hour to get there.   On t…

We headed here with the idea of going to Zagreb after. In fact, as a result of some borthday money, I decided we'd go to SLovenia and do some rafting (entry to follow)Zadar is a nice place, we stayed in the youth hostel there, which was a nightmare - there was a school gorup of what seemed to be ab…

It was our last day in Vodice and last night we decided to hire a boat for half a day for only €50,-. With some headache from the night befotre we headed to the nearest Konzum Supermarket, which they want us to believe is the Croatian word for Supermarket. We bought food, fruit and drinks, enough…

In the morning, my morning wash-up gets interrupted - we're out on water. But, a local brings some in a tank, and we fill up every bottle we have in the boat. The weather forecast is again strong Jugo and rain. It is raining and we can hear thunder in the distance. After breakfast we set sails to t…

This was one of many trips I've taken to my parents' homeland. I think each time I go it gets more beautiful!

Our last day in this beautiful village and I woke up steaming after a bottle of mildy racist navy rum, with a young African American sugar cane plantation worker in chains on the bottle. Some of our party were a little worse for wear and it was a bit emotional leaving somewhere all 20 of us had re…

I started in Zadar in Croatia, then went to see Krka waterfalls, then I took a ferry from Split to Island of Hvar, than I headed down the country to Brela and I crossed the Croatian border and went to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Then I took a train to capital Sarajevo. The views from a train window were stunning. Then I took an overnights bus to Herceg Novi in Montenegro, then spent a couple of nights in Budva, Petrvac, Ulcnji, went back to Croatia, Zagreb then Zadar and home

We left Sibenik at 8 a.m. with clouds and a very strong winds accompanying us to Zadar.  Zadar is a marvelous city, the ancient capital of the Dalmatia section of Croatia.  It carries traces of all the empires that have passed through it and there were many; Romans, Venetians, Austrian…

Things didn't quite go as well as planned this morning. We gave plenty of time to leave the apartment in Pula, walk up the hill and wait for the local bus. But what we didn't account for was the fact that the stupid buses didn't turn up. We waited about 45 mins without a single bus going pas…
