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

Kroatiaan ja Adrialle

Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Trogir

Segetin kyla
Vahan huono kuvakulma, silla kyla on aivan ihana ja tunnelmallinen. Nyt ei kuitenkaan ole muita... otamme kunnollisia piakkoin...

Taas uusi kaanne reissullamme... 9.-10.7. Balatonille Polomme löytyi pakattuna Erkelin tallista ja haimme loput kamamme Pillangosta Mamalta. Sitten taas rattiin ja kohti Balatonudvaria, Rozin ja Jánosin vanhaan talonpoikaistaloon yöksi. Saimme talon avaimen Rozin isältä ja Zolle ehti vielä iltauinnillekin rakastamaansa Balatoniin! Talo oli aika primitiivinen vailla mitään mukavuuksia, mutta meille ilmainen yö katto pään päällä ja sopivasti matkan varrella. Aamulla vielä uinti Balatonin aalloissa ja kohti Kroatiaa! 11.7.

Chillaxing on the Adriatic

Europe » Croatia

Pula and Moon

Sitting at the bus stop the little old lady, wrinkled and shrunken with age, smiled a toothless grin and shuffled closer to me. She launched into a speech in rapid Croatian, and I unsuccesfully tried to keep up my end of the conversation with appropriate nods and reassuring smiles. Unperturbed by my obvious lack of understanding of her native tongue, she dug into her handbag and pulled a weathered book from deep inside. She flipped to the index page and slowly rolled her finger along the index lines, watching my face for a spark of recognition. I pointed at the word [View Full Entry]

Our beloved Vis

Backgammon with a view
Above one of our favourite swimming spots, with a view to remind you you're on holidays

by anna (and david) June 14th-20th I don't think we've been back to many places. We like discovering new ones. However, such is our love for this Dalmatian island, this year was the third in a row we have been to Vis (and hopefully there'll be many more visits in the future). Day 1 we met David, Kristi and Finn in Split to get the ferry across to Vis. We were happy to survive the hair raising cab ride there. Seriously, I doubted we'd make it. I was too scared to be able to talk to ask the cabbie to slow [View Full Entry]

Dubrovnik, Croatia

So we are in Dubrovnik now and it is gorgeous. Got in last night and staying at the same sobe stayed in last year.

Anyway, this am [View Full Entry]

WK6 - Krk Island and onto Slovenia

Europe » Croatia » Istria » Krk

Sea Temp - 26 Degrees!

Well, after a very relaxing and hot week on Korcula, on Sunday it was time to pack up the tent and head for the ferry terminal, to catch the Marco Polo to Rijeka, and then on to Krk Island, in the north of Croatia. We got on the ferry ok, and as we had a cabin, we got the VIP treatment, escorted to our cabin, and we thought we were in for something special on this overnight ferry, maybe a last bastion of old-fashioned service and quality, in an age of fast food and faster service? Alas, it was not to [View Full Entry]

Clock Tower/Mosque in Izmir City Square
Hot day in the square and in the bazaar, Izmir, Turkey

SUBTITLES: "The Coolest 13th Birthday Ever" and "Who Knew Dobrovnik,Croatia, was so Cool?" Dear Family and Friends: Two lingering thoughts about Venice....1) the sight of the vendors/delivery people rolling their carts up and then down the stairs of each pedestrian bridge....2) the calendars featuring 12 "hot" gondeliers and 12 "hot" priests! We must confess that the cruise which followed Venice was a welcome change for us, in terms of knowing where each night's lodging and food was coming from....still had major language barriers, since Costa is an Italian cruise line and at least [View Full Entry]

Korcula, Croatia--Day 2

Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Korcula

So on day 2 in Korcula and it is as amazing as it was last year! Beautiful. Got on a scooter yesterday and Roger, Matt, and I went all over the island. Visited a lady here Roger knew who had a nice house right on the water and she cut up some fruit for us and got us some juice as it was so hot out. She said it has not rained here since June 18th and will not for a long time! Much different than Maine for those of you up there!! Late night at the One Love Hostel last [View Full Entry]
