Wow!
Thank you for sharing your amazing Croatian trip with us. It's made me more excited for when we eventually get there in a couple of years, especially as the food sounds delicious. And I laughed at the late morning aperol spritzes... I would have joined you :)

Great trip
I've loving this trip Lori, so many great adventures. You should be proud of those candles - they look great, especially for a first effort. And I love that they called their lamb Mary! Even though the two countries are not that close to each other, the landscape, colours and aspects of the culture seem very similar to Greece :)

Family Time in Italy
Lovely to see you enjoying time with your family Lori 😊 And so interesting to read that you were the only tourists in town. I love being off the tourist radar, it seems Lecce is a good place for this.

Family time in Italy
It was really fun meeting my brother and sister in law in Italy, we were so lucky we were able to meet up. Lecce does have a lot of tourists too (in the old town), but there are definitely areas (like the one we stayed in) that are far less touristy. It was far less touristy than Rome though, that’s for sure!

Croatia
Thank you for taking me along on your fantastic journey through Croatia, you've really whetted my appetite for the country! Great to see you enjoying the view atop another bell tower. And no, I don't think 11.15am is too early for an adult beverage, especially when you're on holiday - lol! 😊

Croatia
You’re so welcome, and thanks so much for travelling (via the blog) with us to Croatia! And thanks for your validation of pre-noon adult beverages 😀.

Cemeteries on hills
Your blog just reminded me of a country we visited where they had their cemeteries on hills so the living could see the candles/lights of their loved ones at night... I'll have to look up our old blogs to check where that was. How lucky the rain held off for that beautiful walk. Love the red roofs of Croatia :)

Cemeteries on Hills
The cemetery was on such a beautiful spot, and looked really interesting (we didn’t wander around as there was a funeral underway). I wonder if it was Mexico with the cemeteries on hills? Likely that’s common in lots of countries. I loved the red terracotta tile roofs too!

Mary was a Little Lamb!
Ah, how cute! What a lovely little island location, and a peaceful excursion. I love the idea of a little lamb being like a pet, but so sad to hear what happened to her family. Your candles actually look really good I think 😊

Mary was a Little Lamb!
Mary was so cute, and so well taken care of by our hosts - she was thoroughly spoiled! That's very kind of you to say that about the candles :)

Gelato for dinner...
... that's my kind of dinner! Ah the rain was unfortunate but when we only have so much time in a place, there's not much we can do but embrace it and soldier on. Regarding the case of the missing milk, were you sharing the apartment with strangers or group members? I hope it was strangers, otherwise it would have been a bit awkward :)

Gelato for dinner
I think we had gelato for dinner at least twice! We shared the kitchen with the other occupants of the floor (just one other person in our group was on the floor, the occupants of the other two rooms were strangers). I'm sure it wasn't our group member who took the milk!

No Rain!
Wow, what a perfect day! The forecast rain seemed to keep the tour buses away, and yet it still didn't rain - brilliant! The Krka National Park looks amazing, somewhere I'd love to hike myself and wander around. Glad you got to see St James' Cathedral in the end. There seems so much history and culture in Croatia, I really had no idea! Very inspiring to read about your travels there, thank you 😊

No rain!
I was so happy the weather turned out so nice that day - and Krka National Park was just beautiful.

Rain
Ah, I'm sorry to see the weather turned for you, but well done for not letting this stop you from getting out there and enjoying still. The Sea Organ sounds amazing, as does the Sun Salutation. How unique! Sorry you weren't able to climb this Bell Tower. I see you're not afraid to let the little kid in you come out while travelling - I often do the same too! And indeed, how rude of the person to take your milk - I'm not a big fan of communal kitchens for this very reason. Grrrr!
31st October 2022

Rain
Well, the weather turned out much better than forecast - so I couldn't complain too much! The Sea Organ was just incredible. And yes, it's good to let the little kid come out while travelling and have fun!

Sibenik
Oh dear, the bus journey didn't sound too nice at all, sorry to hear. And how unfortunate that you had another "bag drag". Still, nice to read about Sibenik, and that you managed to find your ice creams and aperitifs - I'm sure they helped to make the world right again! 😊
31st October 2022

Sibenik
Yeah, that wasn't a great bus journey ... luckily the others were much better! Drinks and gelato definitely helped!

Split
I'm slowly catching up with your blogs, and am enjoying them very much. Split looks lovely, and I love the fact that Diocletian's Palace remains pretty much just as it was 2000 years ago! Sorry to hear about the bells - the same thing happened to me in Reykjavik's main church, and I nearly jumped out of my skin!

Split
I'm glad you're enjoying the Croatia blogs Alex! I wasn't entirely unprepared for the bells, but it still made me jump!

A "Leisurely Hike"
Gosh, that didn't seem too "leisurely" to me either! Well done both for completing it! I love the Gwyn Thomas quote. Sometimes when travelling I get distracted by the places I want to visit, rather than simply enjoying the travel itself - I shall remind myself of this quote in future. Indeed, I did wonder if you had adult beverages with your evening meal that evening - I was not wrong! 😊

A "Leisurely Hike"
Not too "leisurely" for sure, LOL! I seem to recall a few glasses of wine with dinner that night :)

Hvar
Yes, definitely reading your blogs here Lori 😊 Very interesting to find out more about Croatia, which I know very little about. The architecture and the Catholic influence seems quite Italian to me, and all the food looks amazing. I love the idea of a farm-to-table restaurant. Your blogs are also giving me inspiration for a trip to Croatia hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

Hvar
Thanks for reading Alex! Croatia is a great country to visit, and yes it seems to me it has similarities to Italy (architecture, food, religion). I think you would like it!
