Today we celebrated my birthday early. Marina made a wonderful lemon cake, from scratch of course. We drank champagne and then Marina suprised me and Cara with wonderful gifts. My card said happy birthday and Cara's said happy (whatever). She gave me beautiful silver hoop earrings and Guess perfume which smells oh so good. Cara got silver dangle earrings and a ceramic plate inlaid with bay leaves. Then we all cuddled in Marina's bed and looked at old photo albums from when she was young. It was once of the best birthday celebrations I have ever had and I feel so blessed to know such a kind and loving woman as Marina. Tomorrow we will spend the whole day together before going to bed early, we have to get up at four in the morning to ... read more

We slept in this morning and then drove to Makarska with Jure and Dad to do some shopping. We were able to get almost all of our shopping done. After we got back to Baska Voda we went down to the local supermarket to buy some beer there since we were going to be staying in tonight. We were surprised to find that they sell all of their beers individually! No 30 packs here! Instead there large beers are in two liter plastic bottles. Like pepsi or coke. We went and said goodbye to Mary and Ozzy who had to leave in the morning and were very sad to see them go. Tomorrow it is off to Bosnia!... read more

Not much to write on this one, today we just relaxed. We ate Marina's amazing cooking, drank Croatian cosmo's and our favorite Karlovacko beer and hung out with our wild and fun English friends Mary and Ozzy. Marina's son Jure also arrived from University in Split and we got to enjoy his company. All in all a wonderful, relaxing, and a little bit fuzzy day. ... read more

The start of a LONG day

CaraandGina

Hello from Croatia! This is Gina and my first attempt at a blog. We arrived in Baska Voda yesterday night after nearly 24 hours of travel! The village that our friend Marina lives in is beautiful. She has us set up in her private accomodatations and we are a stones throw from the Adriatic. Absolutely breathtaking. This morning we drove south to a small town called Makarska. Ate, drank, walked and explored. Couldn't have been a more perfect day. We hope you enjoy the photos and are able to get a sense of how beautiful it is here. ~Cara & Gina... read more
