May 28, 2018 We were not exactly sure where we were off to today, but after all of the concrete jungles and unexpected May heat, we thought we wanted a couple days of down time near the beach. Last night the leading contenders were Nin and Pag. Browsing our options on Booking though left meContinue reading “You need to plie in here to get the soap”

May 27, 2018 Today we hopped on a bus from Split to Skradin, the small town which is the headwaters to Krka National Park. We arrived at 11 am and got directions to our hotel from a guy working the table for the upcoming referendum. Not sure what it’s for, but he said it wasContinue reading “Please, no”

May 26, 2018 Last night we had the best dinner at the restaurant recommended by Vanda. So good. Then we wandered into the Palace Perisil area to get ice cream. Bonus, musicians were singing and playing American oldies. We walked around, then back to our apartment to find that the A/C remote control would notContinue reading “Someday I want to Never Summer in Patagonia”

May 25, 2018 Our day began early with a 6:30 am ferry from Bol to Split. We arrived in Split an hour later, ditched our bags at luggage storage, and headed off in the wrong direction than the tourist center. We quickly turned around and headed for Diocletian’s Palace. It was so early, about 8,Continue reading “My American guilt is preventing me from enjoying this wine”

May 24, 2018 Today we did wake up with the chickens. I tossed and turned a bunch, so we got up at 5 to start our day. I think I was anxious, because one of the options for today was to hike Vidova Gora, and catch a midday bus across Brac to Supetar to catchContinue reading “The best itch cream ever created”

May 23, 2018 After being up so late last night, we didn’t exactly get up with the chickens this morning. Our room in Korcula, though super cute, was so tiny we could barely turn around, and there was no room to walk around the bed. Period. So for Bol (Island of Brac) I splurged inContinue reading “It’s better than bathtub hooch”

May 22, 2018 Today we woke up and decided to rent bikes to explore Lumbarda, a quaint little village about 6 km from Korcula main town. So after coffee and a pastry, we set out to figure out where to rent bikes, where to go, and where to keep our bags. Thankfully these were allContinue reading “You’re an adult after all!”

May 21, 2018 Today was a travel day, and as such, we needed to check out of our room by 10 am. Our ferry to Korcula wasn’t until 4:30, but our nice hosts agreed to let us store our bags on their terrace til we needed to catch the bus to the port. Breakfast wasContinue reading “It’s just a pint, you sissy”

May 20, 2018 For the first time in our European traveling history, we slept through the night on the first night. Aside from the cat fight outside and our room tv switching itself on and off over and over by itself, of course. I guess that Dr Lippard really knows her stuff. We woke upContinue reading “Zivjeli!”

May 19, 2018 We had a fairly uneventful journey. We left the house right on time Friday afternoon, and departed DIA without issue, even though the news had been forecasting afternoon thunderstorms. The good folks at Lufthansa are always quite generous with the wine and this trip was no exception. We arrived in Frankfurt atContinue reading “If we don’t get this plane moving, I’m gonna put this gum in your hair”
