Hard Left Turn.
Our plan today was quite simple really. Have a lazy morning because check out is not until 11:00am Take a leisurely drive to our next seaside town, Trogir, about 40km away. Explore Trogir's Old Town. (Yep, another one!) See another cathedral, bell tower and promenade....
The Tale of Two Saints and a Guy
Today is all about Šibenik. We are heading up the hill to check out the 3 fortresses right here in town. The 3 fortresses (plus a fourth found at the entrance to the harbour) worked in concert to repel any invaders. Why do they always build fortresses at the very...
C’mon Hip Flexors, Act Alive.
We have chosen today to explore Krka National Park. The weather is great and we haven't had a very physical day in awhile, we are ready for it! It took us some figuring and asking a lot of questions to the very patient park guide before we settled on a plan. We signed...
Better call Sol
Time to leave the north and have a serine coastal drive. It’s quite nice - meandering down the coast - small coastal towns, harbours, mountains on one side and the sea on the other. If we could just get around this bus! And in only 3.5 hours later we are in the town...

Holy Arena Batman!

Electricity and an Old Town
You know the genius named Nikola Tesla? Yep. That guy. We went to the Nikola Tesla Memorial Center in the teeny town of Smiljan. This guy really was revolutionary. Our understanding of electricity and the way we use it today would not have been possible without his...
Waterfalls & Airplanes
After all of yesterday's sitting around, it's time to get up off our butts and put some steps in. Luckily we are just 20 minutes away from Plitvice Lakes National Park which has all sorts of waterfalls, trails, trams & boats. We plan on seeing them all! Today's...
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Here we are, Thanksgiving weekend without a turkey in sight. No complaints though, we have an abundance of fall colours to absorb and enjoy! Today was a very quiet day in comparison to the last few weeks. It was very welcomed. Time to leave the 'big city' of...
