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 …
One of the reasons I decided to visit Split, was because I had read about Salona, the beautiful ancient roman city that existed almost two thousand years ago. A quick bus ride later and I was walking through fields of freshly mowed grass inside the ruins of a spectacular old stone city. Salona existed from …
I was on a hike this morning, and was feeling a little out of sorts. I don’t know why I was feeling like this today, but it made me realize that I have not thought about gratitude enough lately. While I was walking in a big beautiful park surrounded by glorious nature, I thought about …
I haven’t posted about any logistics for travelling, so I thought I would sporadically cover some subjects in the next few months. Currently, I am in the process of deciding where I want to be roughly six months from now. So I have been looking for places to stay. Deciding how to choose travel accommodation …
Second leg of my trip today is MUC to SPU, my next destination! Croatia here I come! I am so excited to see this country that I have read much about. But first, lets get there! MUC Terminal 2 I had a little over two hours wait time in Munich airport Terminal 2 before my …
I’m back in Rome!! I am so happy to be here. I last visited this city in 2018 and fell deeply in love. The city encompasses everything I look for. Exquisite food, beautiful art, history, culture and architecture. Along with these 5 things is usually great weather! Rome – a perfect destination for me. First …
