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

Sept 14th-15th Europe » Croatia

Sept 14th We said goodbye to Italz this morning. Caught the train to Trieste and got picked up by Ada's cousin Daniel. Ada and Roman decided to rent a big van for us all to travel in so that is what Daniel was driving. In under two hours we went from Trieste Italy, through Slovenia and into Croatia. I'm not 100% clear what the name of the place we are staying in is because there seems to be about 5 or more towns all connected. Medvaja, Lovran, Icici, Opatija and then a little further away Riekja. Regardless it's all beautiful. We [View Full Entry]

Dubrovnik Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Stradun

Byron's Pearl of the Adriatic has a hefty reputation to live up to but does so instantly as soon as you step through Pile Gate and gaze down the Stadun at the Clock Tower at the far end. Perfect marble covered steets, uniform buildings on either side, side-streets and alleyways at every turn and endless bars and restaurants spilling out onto the pedestrianised town. If the perfect old European city had to be designed from scratch, it would probably look a lot like Dubrovnik. I had originally intended to start my last trip here but instead opted for Venice and there [View Full Entry]

Cruising Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Leaving Venice

Saturday 12th - cruise day. I arranged for a porter to take our bags from the Hotel Castello to the pier (about three quarters of a kilometer away, through a rapidly gathering crowd) where we had to catch a public transport boat (water bus) back to Pier Roma (no more water taxis for Joan!!). My dilemma was to keep us and the baggage in one tidy heap. Joan would not be able to keep up with the porter and we didn’t want to lose sight of our bags. The porter was due at 1100 so at 1030 I escorted Joan to [View Full Entry]

Probably the luckiest country in Europe ...... Europe » Croatia

not a bad view ay? Camping Croatia

Croatia started with two major disadvantages to some of the other countries that we've been 1) I've heard so much hype about it, which almost invariably disappoints and 2) I'd adored Slovenia, thus upping expectations just that little bit more. So, as we left Piran, Slovenia with those thoughts in mind I was quite unprepared to reach the border only 10 minutes later with none of those thoughts resolved! We got our passports out to leave the Eurozone and were waved on by some thoroughly uninterested border guards - maybe its not just British Immigration that's a sieve! Our destination was [View Full Entry]

Did I mention the fish and the clear water!

Aye Aye Captain! Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Split

beautiful sunset on the island of Pag.... paradise

We found a nice big campsite about 10km outside of Split. Our pitch was located right next to a very calm and shallow bay. We spent the next 2 days catching up on some much needed clothes washing, going shopping in Split Centre (for my upcoming birthday presents and cake!) and also catching up on skype. Friday 28th August was my birthday! I awoke to a fully cooked hearty breakfast from my lovely wife, complete with a beautifully presented set table including a central floral arrangement (well a single flower and some shrubbery in a plastic cup) and folded napkins.
