Croatia Travel Blogs

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

Dubrovnik.....just beautiful!! Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Old city Dubrovnik from the main road

The weather is back to what we have been use to over the past 4 weeks,fine and sunny.The thunderstorm has cleared the atmosphere and the air has got that fresh feeling about it. We have been hanging out for a fish dinner since we left the UK and we had thought that the Adriatic coast would provide what we were looking for.However there is an absence of any fishing fleet here and it looks like we will have to wait until we get further north up the coast to get our fish dinner. So on our short shopping trip for dinner [View Full Entry]

Laterna Camping- eine Stadt für sich Europe » Croatia » Istria

Sonnenuntergang in Laterna Camping

Bei einem „Sundowner“ an Deck mit herrlichem Blick auf den wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang über der Altsatd Novigrads, aus der die Silouhette des 1000 Jahre alten Turms hervorsticht, wurde uns etwas wehmütig zumute. Das Lotterleben, wie wir es hier führen wird bald ein vorläufiges Ende haben, mahnte mich eine innere Stimme. Wir versuchten diesen schönen Augenblick für die vielen dunklen, kalten Tage, die der Winter uns in Bremen bringen wird, zu konservieren. Uns wird langsam bewußt, dass uns bald der Alltag wieder hat. Den heutigen Tag verbrachten wir endlich mal am Strand. Der let [View Full Entry]

Belgrade, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik Europe » Croatia

The train to Belgrade was straight forward enough, 12 hours overnight in a 3 bed carriage with no other travellers in it! Luxury! The last few days have been the most enjoyable Ive had I think. I fell in love with Belgrade pretty quickly, its such a vibrant city. Loads of cafes and bars, a really cool fort at the top of town and it wasnt far to a massive park with loads of bike paths and walking trails surrounding a huge lake. I rented a bike and bombed about for a bit through forest trails and came to a point [View Full Entry]

A surprising find at Mlini Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Toes in the Adriatic at Mlini

There is a promise of a weather change today and the day starts out with dark clouds overhead.It is still quite warm although we expect that once the rain arrives it will cool of somewhat. We have nothing planned again for today and because of that we didn't even think about getting out of bed until 9am when we started to get a bit hungary for breakfast. After the problem with getting the poached eggs out of the pan without the right utensil we decide on scrambled egg instead smothered with a generous portion of Vegemite from our sqeezeable tube which [View Full Entry]

Freunde aus der Heimat Europe » Croatia » Istria

Die erste sportliche Betätigung seit Wochen

Relativ spontan brachen wir heute Richtung Novigrad auf, um Lutz und Heike zu treffen, die seit 2 Tagen auf einem Campingplatz nahe unseres Ausgangshafens ihren Urlaub mit einen Paar Freunden verbringen. Bei einem „Verfahrer“ zu einem Nudistencampingplatz, bei dem ich schon hoffte ich könne am Nachmittag noch Lutzs Nebenhoden sehen, stellte sich dieser Ort jedoch als der falsche heraus. In der Nachbarbucht trafen wir sie dann. Lutz hatte mir schon eine Boje besorgt, so dass wir jetzt ca. 100m vor dem Wohnwagen von Jens und Miriam geschützt ankern. Schön ein paar Leute aus der Heim [View Full Entry]

Funtana Europe » Croatia » Istria

Zu cool für diese Welt

Die dominante Adria nahm sich heute, was sie brauchte. Sie bediente sich ihres teuflischen Instrumentes, der peitschenden See. Ein gewisser Siebert genoss das devote Spiel sichtlich. An Gleitfahrt war bei der Überfahrt von Vrsar nach Funtana nicht zu denken. Man merkt deutlich, dass es herbstlicher wird hier. Es ist nur noch 26 Grad, dafür etwas windiger und die Italiener sind weg. Funtana ist eine der kleineren Marinas an der Küste Istriens. Nach zwei Tagen direkt in der Fußgängerzone ist dies hier eine wilkommene Abwechslung. An unserem Steg scheint jeder jeden zu kennen. Viele Bayern [View Full Entry]

Rovinj Europe » Croatia » Istria » Rovinj

Ampitheatre in Pula 1

Rovinj - Day 13 (September 4) It was an early start, 6 am to catch the Catamaran ferry to Rijecka which was the largest town we’d seen in Croatia. From here we caught a bus to Pula, where we elected to spend a couple of hours on the way to Rovinj, so we could see the Roman Colosseum here. It was about a 10 minute walk from the bus station where we had stored our luggage. As we rounded a corner a mostly in tact Colloseum towered in front of us. It was the most impressive ruin I’d seen to date, [View Full Entry]

A blob out day in Mlini near Dubrovnik Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Mlini bay

Apart from taking a trip into Dubrovnik itself on one day for a few hours we just plan to blob out here and the apartment and hotel set up should do us just nicely. It is nice being able to get a full breakfast and this morning Gretchen made her favourite poached eggs only to find that she didn't have a utensil to get the eggs out of the pan.A large spoon had to suffice in the end.You have to break the eggs to eat them anyway I say. Breakfast was on our terrace and with nowhere to go for the [View Full Entry]

From Hell to Heaven....or so it felt Europe » Croatia » Dalmatia » Dubrovnik

Murray and his cuzzies,Sarajevo

We are moving on today from B-H to Croatia and in a way we are pleased.Not that we want to rush this adventure on any faster than its going but because two days in this country has been enough for us. With what will be a relatively long drive ahead we are up early and down to breakfast.No joking about bacon and eggs today just whether there will be omelettes on the menu again. The same thick set,efficient man was there and again we were the only people in the room for breakfast. This time though we got in before he [View Full Entry]

Schlechtes Wetter in Vrsar Europe » Croatia » Istria

Glücklich in Vrsar

Für heute hatten sie schlechtes Wetter angesagt. Regen und so, daher hatten wir in jedem Fall vor, heute auch noch hier zu bleiben. Das Gewitter heute Nacht hab ich verschlafen (ein Wunder, dass ich Enie immer höre!) und morgens öffnete ich kurz eine Luke um festzustellen, dass es tatsächlich bewölkt, jedoch keinesfalls kalt war. Zum Frühstück hatten sich diese Wolken allerdings wieder verzogen und strahlend blauer Himmel prangte über uns. Am frühen Nachmittag gab es dann nochmal vereinzelte Bewölkungen um dann eine wunderschöne Abendsonne zu präsentieren. Irgendwie sieht schlechtes Wetter bei [View Full Entry]
