The lands that today comprise Croatia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the close of World War I. In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after 1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four years of sporadic, but often bitter, fighting before occupying Serb armies were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998. To be updated

Croatia: the sun, the sea, the fried fish Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Split

Dubrovnik

They say you must visit Croatia. They are dead right. Two and a half hours after embarkation of jet on a grey Surrey afternoon at Gatwick, we were in Split, in a cosy bay in the Eastern Adriatic. We were recommended for our first culinary experience of the holiday that evening a small underground mum-and-dad-run restaurant. The lighting was cruel, the music was bad, and the food was amazing. What followed was nine days of seafood risottos, fried sardines, hake, octopus and mussels complimented by crisp, dry and simple local white wines. Thanks to rather brilliantly losing my drivers' licenc [View Full Entry]

Istria Europe » Croatia » Istria » Rovinj

Rovinj at daybreak

The Croatian coast is the landscape of my dreams. This, for me, is the most beautiful of type of climate and topography: dry, rocky with lavender and brush and pine along the sea. And such a sea! The Adriatic here displays the most dramatic pallette of marine colors, from turquoise green to indigo blue. The water is clear all the way to the bottom and is teaming with fish, crabs and other sea life. There is nothing more exciting to me than swimming off of white rocks into a deep ocean, as we did these days in Rovinj, traveling by bike [View Full Entry]

Sept 16th-17th Europe » Croatia

Touring around Sept 16h

Sept 16th Today we piled into the van and Daniel took us on a big long tour. We saw the bridge to Krk, the harbor where they hid the war ships, Riekja and the big clock in the center and made it home just in time for some of Nadija’s minestrone for dinner. It was amazing! I don’t know how she does it. This place inspires me to start cooking more. Sept 17th Today we met up with another bunch of Ada’s relatives. Marina and her husband Nenad and their daughter Dorothea. Dorothea is 5 and had made Adam and I [View Full Entry]

Cruzing in the Blue Betty Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Hello Quick update - We drove from Turkey through Northern Greece down the coast of Albania and Montenegro and now are in Croatia headed to Bosnia. Blue Betty is running great and we are still amazed at our adventure daily. We have been on Mr. toads wild ride at times driving on crazy roads and no traffic rules (Albania) . Jan and Betty are one being by now. I have learned how to navigate and keep my mouth shut. I really am good with a map and am a great camp cook. The weather could not be better. We still have [View Full Entry]

Zagreb

Republika Hrvatska - The Dalmation Coast, August 26th - September 25th, 2009 After leaving Budapest we decided to start exploring Croatia in the capital city of Zagreb. During our stay in Hungary we were completely spoiled by having our own apartment and having to return to the hostel life proved to be quite difficult. It was made even harder by being in one of the worst hostels we've yet stayed in on this trip. Six person dorms in a room better suited for two, no room to even unpack, and hot as hell. Clearly the only way to deal with the [View Full Entry]
