In mid-May, we hopped on a ferry to Hvar, ready for an island escape that blended history, culture, and some of our favorite little quirks. Instead of staying in the hustle and bustle of Hvar Town, we opted for a cozy spot outside the much smaller Stari Grad—a decision that gave us both a peaceful […]
The Saturday before Easter, we took a spontaneous drive up the coast to explore Omiš. Since March is well before the busy tourist season, the town was blissfully empty—a quiet backdrop that made our adventure even more special. Giant eggs were displayed around town, adding a whimsical touch to our day. It felt like we
After our dreamy Valentine’s getaway to Dubrovnik, I just couldn’t shake the memory of that unforgettable Bosnian food at Taj Mahal. So, for my birthday, I convinced Daniel that another trip was absolutely needed. And thus began my 43rd Birthday adventure. We chose a cute little AirBnB perched on the hillside above the ancient city

Primošten is a village on the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia between Šibenik (to be explored) and Trogir (see Birthday Week Exploration). In the past the village was located on an islet close to the mainland. During the Turkish invasion in 1542 it was protected by walls and towers and a draw bridge connected it to
We returned to the Žrnovnica River for a short walk on a busy October Saturday. We parked in the same place as our last visit and walked towards the sea this time. It was as lovely and clear as ever. Cirrus was upset the water was colder than our last visit but insisted on checking
Sunday, 22 October was unexpectedly sunny. The weather channel had been calling for rain for the entire weekend. But when we got up Sunday, it was clear and the weather channel said it was clear all day. We needed to get out of the house for an adventure. With no pre-planning we decided to stick
