After leaving Krka, we went directly to Zadar where, fortunately, it was a bit colder than in Krka (+/- 40°C vs. Kraka 48°C). We found our hostel quite easily thanks to Google maps, but when we got there, it turned out the owner wasn’t there, only his son. It was a bit weird, the room he showed us wasn’t the bedroom for 4 people we had booked but a 12-person bedroom, so we decided to wait for the owner to return before taking the room. He arrived after +/- 15 minutes and explained that the 4-person bedroom wasn’t ready yet (they opened just a week before and not much was ready yet) but that there would only be us and 2 other girls sleeping in the room. This was ok with us and we took the ... read more

We left Mljet with the second ferry of the day at 9 AM and we went to Split. It was a good 3 hours drive with a small stop at a ridiculous border where Croatia is cut in 2 parts by Bosnia. They didn't even look at our passports, they just told us to go on. ^^ In Split, we found a "parking for tourists" 10 minutes from the old town that was not too expensive. It was already 1 PM and we were very hungry. So we went to the old town hoping to get something to eat. Unfortunately, everything in Split was very expensive and so we just ate 1 slice of pizza each... Ice cream was more than 1€ per scoop so we continued without ice cream. Split is a beautiful city, very ... read more

On Saturday morning, we got up late and after a good breakfast, first we went back to Kotor to climb up to the fortress. Fortunately the entrance seemed too expensive to us (3€ p.p.) and so we decided not to go up there which was very fortunate because temperature climbed up fast and it would have been too hot to climb up there. Since there were many tourists already, we left Kotor to go to Herceg Novi, a town close to the border. It wasn't very nice though and so we left after taking a few pictures of the old town. We moved on, back direction Kotor, to find a camping, camping Zlokovic in Bijela, not too far from the border. Even though it was a big one, filled with mostly elderly people, it was nice ... read more

The next morning we wanted to leave early to go to Budva but after planning our further way and having breakfast, it was about 11 AM when we left. It was pretty difficult to find a parking spot in Budva, but in the end we found one that was quite cheap, just in front of the tourist information. We went to the seaside where Anne had to buy new flip-flops because hers were broken. On the promenade next to the seaside, we got to understand why they call Budva "Ballermann of Croatia"! There were bars everywhere, it was so touristic, it was awful. We went to the old town where it was quite nice but it was too touristic as well with lots of tourist shops. We decided to have lunch there but it wasn't quite ... read more

After leaving the Biogradaska Gora national park, we went to Skadarsko Jezero, a huge lake close to the seaside. The way there was a bit difficult because we had to drive through a very long canyon that went almost all the way from the national park to Podgorica. Driving next to these big rocks seemed quite dangerous, most of all because it was raining a lot and once we even had to stop because it was raining so much we couldn't see the road anymore. It was impressive though and very beautiful. We arrived to Virpazar around 4 PM, 2 hours, 115 km and 20°C away from the national park. The temperature difference was immense! Virpazar is a lovely town, but we were hit by all the people trying to sell us a boat tour on ... read more
