Europe Epic Trip 2015, Chapter 2 – Croatia

Europe Epic Trip 2015 Chapter 2
Croatia

Croatia had an interesting start with mixed up accommodation but it ended up even better than we planned. Plitwice National Park was stunning, my very first 5 hour hike with out a single “carry me” cry. We had some foot rescue action but that ended up all under control too. Trigor was sweet and cute with lots of wine for moms, narrow streets and plenty of opportunity for pictures. But that night (or maybe the night before) some monster midges fell in love in Yvonka and left lots of bloody blisters. Somehow we were the mosquitoes best friends for the entire trip. Split is very familiar to us, especially around Manuska Polijana street, driving around in circles to find our accommodation. Our landlord Vesna, who turned out to be a woman, was friendly in her own way. But “Nothing” ( inside joke) will compete with our “back to the future” trip to Bol. Ready to say “Ave Cesar”, we took an overnight ferry to Italy, from Split to Ancona.

Europe Epic Trip, chapter 1, Slovenia

Europe Epic Trip , chapter 1
Slovenia

Two cousins and one toddler – Yvonka, Beata and Ginger, decided to conquer Europe to celebrate 4-40-44 ( to encrypt that just email my mom). Despite the rough start with missing flights and drama at the car rental booth, our happy moods lasted till the end of the trip.

Since the posts have so many pictures my write-ups will be short and sweet.

Slovenia was very green, nice and easy. Lake Bled, Postojna, Skocjan Cave and Predjama Castle were spectacular. In Ljubljana I invented a new pancake diet – pancaelo, which I stuck to as long as they were served. I didn’t learn any Slovenian as most of the people were speaking english.

New chapter starts after crossing the border to Croatia TBC…
