Zagreb E o incantare sa revii in alt anotimp pentru parcul natural Plitvice, unde natura se contopeste cu tot ce inseamna culoarea florilor specifice, zumzete de pasarele si voci de animalute. Am ales Hotelul Garden Hill din zona Velika Gorica, iar accesul spre oras l-am facut cu autobuzul timp de o jumatate de ora. Camera spatioasa, parcare.... read more

After arriving back in Zagreb from Pag. Drea and I headed to the Mirogoj Cemetery. Mirogoj Cemetery is the largest cemetery (and the most noteworthy landmark) in Zagreb. It is owned by the city (not by churches like the other cemeteries) and accepts burials from all religious backgrounds. The cemetery was beautiful and picturesque and worth the visit. The next few days we went to the mall by her house and did some shopping. I got some beach sandals and we watched some interesting movies at the theatre, to say the least. One day we watched the movie “No Hard Feelings” starring Jennifer Lawrence and the other day we watched “ Fool’s Paradise,” starring Ken Jeong. Both movies were mediocre at best with “Fool’s Paradise,” being one of the worst movies I sat through. In conclusion, ... read more

After many wonderful days and adventures on the Adriatic coast, Nui and Nenad decided to explore the second face of Croatia, away from the coast, its hinterland. The massive mountain chains of the Dinaric Alps and a few smaller mountain ranges of Velebit, Biokovo and Velika Kapela, slice through the country from North to South, following the direction of the Adriatic coast. The highest point rising to 1'831 meters, making the land rough mountainous, rocky and steep on the West and hilly, full of forests and pastures on the East. These mountains serve as a climate divide as well. West of the mountains you find Mediterranean climate, East of them Continental. We experienced this to its most extreme impressive form, as we travelled from Vodice to Zagreb. We left the coast 9AM at 28 degrees with ... read more

Bonjour à tous, Ce matin l’objectif était de ne pas rallier Zagreb en une étape, de près de 400km, mais de coucher, en Bosnie Herzégovine, étant donné, qu’entre Belgrade et Zagreb, il n’y a aucune ville, vers la mi-parcours, où faire étape. La seule que j’ai trouvé était Banja-Luka en Bosnie-Herzégovine. J’ai quitté l’hôtel assez tôt, pour pouvoir avoir un peu de temps à passer à Banja-Luka, qui sur le net semble assez plaisante, pour une soirée étape, mais qui est située dans une région où il y a 3 pays qui se chevauchent. La Serbie, la Bosnie, et la Slovénie. Sur ma carte papier, les frontières sont bien indiqués, mais pas vraiment facile à lire. Ce qui se traduit par de sérieuses difficultés pour programmer sur le gps, mais avec un peu de persévérance et ... read more
