It’s really nice. It was built in the 80’s
June 1, 2018 Ha ha, yeah right. 😉 Today we got up quite late for us. Our bed and room are quite comfortable even though in a hostel. We both had earplugs in, just in case, but nothing would have woken me last night I think. Our room comes with a free breakfast, so we tookContinue…

“It’s perfect, thank you.” “I know” or It’s so humid and nobody has any coasters.
May 31, 2018 We woke up early at our damp “Minnesota stone lodge”, and got ready for the day. Our hostess offers a buffet style breakfast for €7 each so I went down to check it out. Deciding breakfast was not worth that steep a price, we loaded up our backpacks (big backpack and daypack)Continue…

I didn’t say it
Today we are on the move again. We have reservations in Zagreb for Thursday night, and we have one stop to make in between. After breakfast, we spent the morning leisurely walking around town. We shopped and chatted with a few shopkeepers, and one wished we had come into her shop the day before soContinue…

Karlovacko; you say it like a real Croatian man
May 29, 2018 Today, we did a whole lot of nothing. We woke up knowing where we were going from here, even if we don’t know exactly how we get there from here. We had a few errands to run. We needed to find breakfast pastries and coffee, in that order. The first two bakeriesContinue…

You need to plie in here to get the soap
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…

Please, no
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…

Someday I want to Never Summer in Patagonia
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…

My American guilt is preventing me from enjoying this wine
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…

The best itch cream ever created
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…

It’s better than bathtub hooch
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…

You’re an adult after all!
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…

It’s just a pint, you sissy
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…

Zivjeli!
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…

If we don’t get this plane moving, I’m gonna put this gum in your hair
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…
