Next stop : Croatia
this guy, my passport, and this FroYo… and that’s ALL I need.
I just let the Amsterdam airport and am currently on a plane headed to Zagreb, Croatia. Alyssa and myself, along with Mark and Bernadette will be spending the next three weeks driving through the countryside, tasting wine, eating truffles, strolling cobblestone streets, and lounging on a sailboat. Alyssa is about 6 months pregnant so this trip will certainly be much different from other adventures we’ve had in the past.
Here’s a brief rundown of our itinerary. We land in Zagreb, the capital city, and spend one quick night in town, then we take our rental car and head east to the Istrian peninsula for a few days. This part of Croatia has a lot of Italian influence,with lots of cute, old, small towns, plenty of vineyards, lots of coastline and beautiful food. We then head south for two nights at Plitvice national park. This area is a world heritage site and home to miles of walking paths winding around lakes and hundreds of waterfalls. Next to the town of Dubrovnik. Recently made popular because it’s one of the shooting locations for Game of Thrones, we have an apartment for a few nights not far from the old town and the city walls surrounding the city which we can walk. From there we board a traditional Gulet boat where we will live for a week while our skipper sails us around some of the many islands dotting the Dalmatian coast. Our trip ends with a few final nights in the town of Split, where we can choose to either law low and relax, find a scuba outfitter, or take a ferry to explore some towns on nearby islands.
I’ll do my best to keep the blog up to date, even if it’s just to post some photos.
