2018 Turkey & Croatia

Gimpy and I spend two weeks in Turkey before joining Vino for a pretty awesome road trip through the beautiful country of Croatia in 2018.

Coastal Drive to Split

Road Trip Begins! We were slated to pick up our car at around 9 AM this morning for our drive to Split. We needed head back to the airport and that meant getting on an early transfer bus. While we weren't happy about the early start, it did afford us some cool views of Dubrovnik's old city in a different morning light! The ride to the airport was nice in the morning. It was another beautiful...

Cruising to the Blue Caves

Morning came pretty quickly! In fact we got up a little earlier so that we could grab a quick breakfast before meeting the boat that would be taking us to the Blue Caves. We strolled into the center of town and we were treated to the beautiful seaside town that is Hvar Town! After grabbing breakfast, we walked over to the port/dock area where we waited to meet our boat. Gimpy had booked this Blue...

He explained that we would start high and only have to walk downhill the rest of...

From Zagreb to Home

It's our last full day in Zagreb before heading home! Gimpy and I had avoided a few attractions our first time around since we wanted to do it together with Vino. Our plan was to hit those places today. Kava Tava But the first order of business today is breakfast. We visited a well reviewed restaurant called Kava Tava. It's a cool spot with unique decor and a great breakfast menu. One area looked...

Wrapping up Turkey and Croatia

With my Turkey and Croatia trip fully blogged now, its time to think back and appreciate the journey! Thank you for coming along with me to this very interesting part of the world and I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing about it! I had the idea of doing separate wrap ups for Turkey and Croatia. But I already asked Gimpy and Vino to do it for both, so it wasn't that fair if I...
