Dubrovnik

After waking up, we set out through the Pile gate into the old city of Dubrovnik. Our first stop today would be breakfast. We looked at a few places, but when we arrived, the menus didn't seem all that appealing to us. We eventually stumbled upon a small restaurant that had a pretty standard english breakfast that we decided to have. While it wasn't the best breakfast I'd ever had, it was good...

Zagreb, Part 1 The first order of business today is definitely food. Skipping dinner and only snacking made for a hungry Minion and Gimpy. After checking out of our AirBNB and storing our luggage at the bus station, we were ready to head into the centre of the city.

Hot Air Balloon Redemption With our GAdventures tour through Turkey over, we still had one big regret: We didn't hot air balloon in Cappadocia. If you've been following the trip, you'll know that we had two opportunities to fly when we were in Goreme. Unfortunately, both were cancelled due to weather and we were hugely disappointed. Ballooning in this region was at the very top of our list for...

Crossing the Dardanelles to Gallipoli We had to get an early start since we had a ferry to catch across the Dardanelles to Gallipoli. While the sun had already risen by the time the ferry departed, the view of both sides of the water was still incredible. ANZAC Landings Upon arriving on the other side, we drove to our first stop on the Peninsula, the first ANZAC landing site. I first heard of the...
