What did I know about Croatia, the country, the landscape, the people before we went there? - Not much, probably a very little bit about history but still not much. Probably a bit about the landscape: A friend showed his photos to us, he has traveled to Croatia several times. And the people? Time to explore some more, even if time is limited. It was quite interesting to meet three types of people,... Read Full Entry

Traveling, seeing, taking pictures (a lot ;) ), hiking, snorkeling, swimming, walking, exploring, trying to make the most of the rare time, and being mainly outdoors... The blog is divided into two parts: until 2009 I wrote about my year as a visiting student at the University of Calgary to keep my family informed about what I experienced so far away from home. From 2009 on I summed up my holidays, vacations, travels - however one would call it.

Roman ruins of Salona (in Solin)

The ruins are quite well preserved, and date back to 400 BC.

Ruins of the City Thermae and the Episcopal center of Salona.

And me.

Small, but still impressive Amphitheater of Salona

There are already major parts missing, it used to fit 15000 people.

Overview of the ruins of Salona.

Sweet green figs on our way from the ruins to the bus stop

If you want to get to the ruins of Salona by bus:

drop off at the bus stop Solin (direction from Trogir TO Split), cross the street and look for this road sign. Right next to it there is a small path through an allotment garden site. If you follow that path you will end up right at the southern end of the ruin site.

Back in Trogir: the old town is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site

Small alleys offered shady spots and green oasis

Lovely decorated house entrance

Waterfront of Trogir

Mavarstica beach

It is very crowded during peak season (the picture was taken rather early in the morning). The slope of the road in the back was also very remarkable.

Backyard in Trogir

Trogir waterfront and the boats in front of it.

Drvenik Mali from the airplane

We saw dolphins!

(from the ferry to Drvenik Mali)

Open sea, so calm and blue...

and over there, somewhere, is Italy.

A friendly man and his tractor

He transported the luggage of some visitors.

Vela Rina, the famous (& beautiful?) pebble/ sandy beach

For us: not that much.

The way to the nicest spots is long and comfortless

But it was totally worth it!

Matusin Bok: Overlooked quickly, but beautiful, unspoiled and quiet

Matusin Bok :)

We tried to be extremely careful when we entered the water, because we did not want to "kill" any plants on the rocks. Actually we only had one spot to enter, where pebbles covered the ground.
