One of my favorite bars in the Pula area was called Safari Bar. It’s not easy to get to – we had to not only drive a good distance out of Pula, but also pay an entrance fee for the park that the bar is located in. Well worth it, I think. I kept finding small […]
On the Hunt for Pula’s Sea Cave After seeing some incredible photos on Instagram of a random sea cave in Croatia, we knew we had to find it. By scouring comments, talking to locals, and hunting on google maps, we figured out an approximate location and we went on the hunt… Part of me feels […]
Tele2 Tele2 is a pretty large carrier in Croatia and by far had the best PAYG (pay as you go) plan. They offer a pre-paid plan of 50kn or about $7.50 for 3GB of data, 500 minutes for a period of one month. It’s easy to find one of their shops in any of the big […]
Despite claiming that he isn’t a huge fan of them, cats seem to be magnetized to Derek upon his entrance to an area. […]
The most touristy and probably the coolest thing to do in Dubrovnik is to walk along the walls that surround the old part of the city. Besides the stunning views, the walls are themselves a fun and meandering 1.2 miles and about 10,000 steps of exploring. We saved it for the last thing to do […]
When I was planning our trip to Plitvice National Park, one of Croatia’s most highly prized tourist destinations, I imagined frolicking around the park’s incredible pathways, gaping at the beauty around every turn, and quietly enjoying the park’s thousands of waterfalls. Well, there were certainly lots of waterfalls, but that’s about the only part I imagined correctly. […]
I can’t quite remember when I first started seeing photos of Croatia’s water. Crystal clear waters, tan people showing lots of skin, and gorgeous sunny skies. Photos would pop up in my Instagram feed of people on floaties in turquoise water, or an article would come out about yacht week, with photos of expertly executed […]
A few miles outside the city of Split you’ll find the imposing Klis Fortress strategically perched on a high hill in the mountain pass. To get to the fortress you can take public busses, book a tour or do what we did and rent a scooter. It was a bit ambitious for two people on […]
Here are a few of my favorite shots from around Split, Croatia. For the rest, click the colored parts. […]
While it wasn’t possible to go to the blue cave, our captain Peter from Waterworld Croatia, offered a different itinerary. He could take us to six other islands/locations that he promised were incredible, claiming he’s never had an unhappy customer with this secondary plan, or he gave everyone the option to walk away from the […]
For as long as I can remember, Derek has been obsessed with going to grocery stores in other countries. Just look at the excitement. I shrugged it off at first, I mean, we needed to get provisions so I always tagged along. But as most converts to things will tell you, gradually I started to […]
