Jami & Aaron's Travels

Arrived in Hvar on a beautiful day, warm and sunny, exactly what I’d been hoping for along the Croatian coast and islands, but yes we were hung over. We slept most the 2 hour ferry ride but we were still tired. Landing Hvar was what was explained to us, luxury The dock was surrounded by […]

Split began chilly and wet, I was upset as we were finally on the coast and by the beach and it was finally June (June 1st) damn it! I was done with the rain – No more bad weather – but by the end of our 3 1/2 days in Split we had so many […]

Our next city was a quick stop in Zadar, our first town on the Adriatic. We stopped there for a few hours on our drive to Split. It was typical of the other Croatian towns on the coast that we would visit later – a central Roman town with small marble streets, 2-3 story buildings […]

From Zagreb we rented a car to head to the Adriatic coast. While the prospect of sharing the road with Croatian drivers was frightening after walking around Zagreb, we needed to rent a car in order to reach Plitvice Lakes, a national park located in the middle of the country. We hadn’t expected to go […]

Our introduction to Croatia was through Zagreb, a city located far from the Adriatic coast (Croatia’s real attraction to us). But all roads and train tracks in Croatia lead to or from Zagreb, and so we were forced to go through the city a few times – and thankfully we were! Although Zagreb lacks the […]

Before the post, apologies and some excuses for my tardiness here. I sum up the delay with a few points: 1) After Slovenia we traveled to Croatia and Greece – we were just having too much fun island hopping, taking boats and scooters to beaches and meeting awesome people – I’d say it was a […]

We arrived on a gloomy, rainy day from Zagreb, Croatia, a 3hour train ride. Though grey outside, we could make out simply how green this country was, passing along rivers, mountains and countryside. When arriving in Ljubljana (Lube-lee-ann-na) I was stunned by the sophistication and beauty this city had. I’m not going to say it […]
