CROATIA, A BALKAN ROAD TRIP

Croatia was my last stop as I darted around the Balkans.

I met the folks in Dubrovnick for a couple of days. Checking out the old town – most impressive town of the Balkans with its towering medieval walls and majestic buildings, streets polished to a high gloss from constant visitors. A little side trip to Kotor with them before saying goodbye.

Split for a couple of days, walking around the town.

A cruise to Hvar, Bracht & Pakleni Islands – very relaxing!

The Plitvice Lakes NP a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beautiful park, 16 lakes, connected by numerous waterfalls. All the amazing “Balkan Blue” colour and crystal clear water.

My last day was spent in Zagreb – my favorite Croatian city! Fun, vibey, not many tourists. Streets full of cafes and restaurants, beautiful coloured buildings, amazing shops, stylish people (and dogs…). A cool (could see my breath) Tunnel running under the streets. A broken hearts museum (shame), beautiful green spaces. I had underestimated Zagreb – great city!
