It’s travel time again friends! I have had a great visit in Split but the time has come to explore a new destination. I’m on route today, and the first leg is flying SPU to MRS on Volotea. Marseilles here I come. Leaving Split I decided to take the bus to the airport. I looked …
Y’all know how much I love animals and stop to talk to just about anything I see. Well, I couldn’t leave Croatia without showing all of the cute cats, dogs & critters in Split that I encountered over the past month. Cats Oh my, there are quite a few cats around town! I saw none …
We all know that inflation has been a battle for almost everyone over the last year or so. It has hit particularly hard with the increased prices of food at the store. Each time I change destinations, I do a shop on the day of arrival, to stock the kitchen. Today I am recording 2 …
I’ve got you covered. I took a Jadrolinija Ferry to the Island of Brac and spent the day exploring the ancient village of Supetar, swimming in the Adriatic Sea and dining on fresh fish! If you are looking for a great day trip from Split, this is easy, totally doable and doesn’t break the bank. …
When I read that there was a cemetery on Brac and saw the pictures, I knew this was one I had to visit. The most famous modern sculptor in Croatia was Ivan Rendic, and he is buried here. The St Nicholas Cemetery on Brac has some unique buildings and beautiful art. Ivan Rendic Ivan was …
This is a fun day trip from Split and totally doable with ease. Taking the Jadrolinija ferry to Brac to visit the town of Supetar and explore the area is a lot of fun. I’m going to divide this day trip into two posts as the ferry information and pictures is enough on its own. …
Wow, I cannot believe I have been on the go for six months already. While the time hasn’t gone fast per say, it feels like maybe 4 months have gone by. My 6 month travel anniversary is today and I though I would jot down a few thoughts. My Pace I feel like I have …
I had previously explored the beaches near Split heading towards Marjan Park. This morning I walked down to the Riva Waterfront and turned left instead of right. What I found were beautiful sandy beaches near Split. I knew all the beaches were not rock and stone, but I hadn’t yet found the sandy ones. Bacvice …
I like to visit a local mall when I travel and most definitely the grocery stores. The mall provides me with an opportunity to view the local fashions as well as prices. I can also pick up any essentials that I need while I am there. And of course, the grocery stores provide an endless …
If I google the City of Split, most of the images are of Diocletian’s Palace and Old Town, including the Riva Waterfront and marina area. But Split is a HUGE sprawling city. The more I explore this part of Croatia, the more I admire life outside of Old Town. Old Town I have a previous …
Wow, what a cool place. After reading a few reviews online, I was not expecting to see as many unique pieces as I did. In fact, I though I may even leave underwhelmed. Luckily, I had the complete opposite experience. The Archaeology Museum of Split is definitely worth a visit if you have a few …
Today was such a fun day! I took bus number 73 from Bus Terminal Sukoisan in Split, and went to a fort that used to be a castle. I accidentally missed the stop, don’t ask, so I had to back track down a highway with no shoulder. That was a little nerve-wracking, but I eventually …
I’m so glad I am visiting Split for the month of May. Although I have experienced a substantial number of days that have been overcast and rainy, it’s spring and the wildflowers are blooming from every nook and cranny. Whether I’m walking through a park, or the city, there are beautiful flowers everywhere. City Flowers …
I think it is safe to say that most tourists who come here, especially on a short holiday, are going to be immersed in the beauty of old town Split. The ancient alleyways of Diocletian’s Palace and the neighbouring area of Old Town are utterly charming in every way. Diocletian’s Palace The area of the …
I have been living in the city for a few weeks now. In all of my destinations I photograph graffiti. This art form is unique, inspiring and portrays a true sense of what a society is experiencing. Being in Croatia for the first time, all sites have been new for me. And seeing the interesting …
Yesterday I wrote about my visit to the Cathedral of St. Lawrence in Trogir and climbing the bell tower. There is so much to see in this amazing little ancient town that I need to write another post, if for nothing else than to preserve my photographs. The sights to see in the medieval city …
What a fun day! I took a bus to an ancient city up the coast from Split, called Trogir. The city encompasses a small island and is sandwiched in between the mainland of Croatia and the Island of Ciovo. One of the main sights to see is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence and climbing the …
When visiting the city of Split, the Riva waterfront is one of the most photographed tourist attractions. It is a special place where people of all ages come together to exercise, socialize, dine and enjoy the company of each other under the big blue Croatian sky. Walking the beautiful Riva Promenade in Split is a …
I saw the coolest things today! A lover of all things ancient, I cannot but help marvel at the human being, 2000 thousand years ago. What they created is nothing short of spectacular. And to think those things are still around for me to explore today, well that is even more magnificent. Salona, a visit …
Arguably the biggest draw for tourists to Split, is the gorgeous and historic ancient part of the city. The magic of Diocletian’s Palace & Old Town is like nothing else. Walking around this area gives me the feeling I have stepped back in time. Especially early in the morning, before the throngs of people fill …
