Day 9 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
Car hire time! Yay, freedom! Having your own car to zoom around in is always fun but the cost is pretty high so we are keeping this to a minimum. Our primary goal was to visit Plitviče Lakes National Park, which is hard to get to using public transport. So we decided to drive from Split to Pula and hitting Plitviče Lakes and a number of towns on the way - Klis, Trogir, Zadar and Motovun.
Day 8 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
Hvar wasn't originally part of the plan but it was an island A wanted to visit (but Korčula had won out). Because we had nothing else we wanted to do in Korčula, we decided to leave Korčula early and visit Hvar before staying overnight back in Split.
Day 7 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
Off to visit a Croatian island! A visit to Croatia isn't complete a visit to an island. It took a long time for us to decide which island to go to (Brač, Hvar, Vis or Korčula) as there was a lot of factors to consider (how to get there, how to get around, what to do there etc.) But Korčula (pronounced “Kor-chu-lah”) won out!
Day 6 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
We had a pretty good 24 hours in Bosnia and Herzegovina but it was time to move on. It was a decent side trip and I'd love to see more of Bosnia another time.
Day 5 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
It was a bright sunny day in Mostar! I was particularly excited to see the main event, Stari Most (Old Bridge)! But along the way we explored the ancient multicultural town of Mostar.
Day 4 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
So, the decision was made. We weren't going to do the Dubrovnik City Wall walk. But to make up for it, we would have to get out of Old Town to get some good views of Old Town.
Day 3 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
Time to cross the Adriatic Sea! This will be the only only other flight we are taking during the whole trip.
Day 1 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
We landed at 7:35 am at Rome (Fiumicino airport) and tried to get to the sights on our to do list as quickly as possible. Go go go, get through immigration, get luggage, get into town and leave our luggage with our accommodation, easy peasy.
Day 0 of Italy-Croatia 2018 trip
I'm hitting the road again with A! Last year we did not holiday together at all so it's been 2 years since we've been on a holiday together. We're headed to Europe this time (yes yes, Europe for me again?!) but it's only the second time we've been to Europe together. The first time we only visited Spain.
