The main reason for me wanting to go to Croatia was actually due some photos I saw on the photography forum that I usually post on. It was a picture of Plitvice Waterfalls in Croatia. From there I googled Croatia waterfalls and from those pictures I knew instantly that I needed to add this stop […]

Mark and I return to Split from Dubrovnik roughly an entire afternoon of travel we arrive in Split around sunset and more importantly dinner time. As we are looking for our new hostel we randomly run into the Melissa who we hung out with in Budapest. She is still traveling with Marie, but Gab had […]

After returning from Montenegro night we all head out to old town to hit the club. On our way there we randomly meet these two French girls that turn out to be sisters. They both speak excellent English so I was pretty impressed with that after living a Paris for a while that seems well […]

Dubrovnik kicked off with a hike up a steep hill to our hostel and at least three flights of stairs leading to the reception area. However all things started looking better as we met the family that operated Dubrovnik Backpacker’s Club hostel. We were welcomed with ice cold water and a welcome shot, homemade peach […]

Mark and I got off the bus and ran into Kevin, who was on his way back to Florida due an family emergency. He informs us that we have returned on the right date since the entire town is partying. The title means Happy Half New Year and as we arrived to Korcula from the […]

Split is a big central hub for ferries, catamarans, ships, buses and trains. From here is easy to access the rest of Croatia. Mark did some research on scuba diving and found that the island of Korcula is a good place to do it in. I booked a hostel that I found via a search […]

During the day Mark and I explored the old town. Just north of the concrete promenade is the old city. The streets are narrower, some to the point that its single file. There are still people that live in the old part of town which is surprising as most of the ones I’ve seen have […]

Split is a coastal city and although I haven’t heard anything about it, I know for sure that it will be heaps better than Zagreb. The train station is near the water for easy ferry access to islands. To our left are the three beaches for swimming and to our right is old town and […]

We arrived from Budapest to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. It is landlocked and thus far we have not heard anything exciting about the city. With that in mind I decide to just spend one night here to recharge and get some laundry done. We booked a single night at Hostel Lika which a ways […]
