sea of red.

Dubrovnik.


croatia is a perfect get away for all generations. it has the history and beautiful sites for the less rowdy crew, the laid back beach bum lifestyle for those who are looking to relax, and the crazy night life found on both the mainland and the near by islands.  as a good tourist should, i dabbled in a little of all three. 

i spent most of nights on the mainland in the city of split, the main port city. during the day i frequently took the short ferry to the surrounding islands where i would rent a scooter and zip around living the life of an islander.

i spent one brief night in the town of dubrovnik. i had first heard about the old, stunning city on my favorite guilty-pleasure tv show, the bachelorette, and knew I must pay this enchanted place a visit! the town feels like its straight out of the mid-evil times, you even have to walk over a drawbridge in order to get in! the weather was absolutely miserable as it poured rain for 95% of my stay, but i didn't let that stop me from getting a few pictures (see below).  

on my way back to split from dubrovnik you have to pass through bosnia so we stopped for a quick lunch break so we could all add yet another country to our 'been there' lists. the town we were in, unfortunately i don't know the name, was amazing. i would love to one day revisit bosnia and do some further exploring!

thats all for now folks. i'm on to my final stop on this wild adventure. a place i have always wanted to visit and cant believe i haven't until now... ENGLAND!!

(pictures are all out of order again, sorry!)



The Dubrovnik castle. Apparently it's on some tv series?

C of red. Dubrovnik. 

Freshest seafood I've ever had. 

Bosnia border crossing. 

The skinny and steep street that my apartment in Dubrovnik
was on. So many steps! 

Ferry to Brac island. 

Scootering around Brac island

Drawbridge leading into the town of Dubrovnik. 

Bol beach which is apparently Croatias number one beach. It's pretty
but it's a peddle beach, which I personally am not into


The city of Split. 

The wall around the city of Dubrovnik 

The town of Sumartin, the same name as my mum!
