Croatia, it's been a while and I've missed you. Visiting Pula in the countries Istria region has long for myself, ever since I first set eyes on its mighty amphitheater. Previous experiences had in exploring Dubrovnik, Split, Plitvice and Zadar only served to make me determined to explore a new region of this beautiful part [...]
The cost of 3 nights in Pula, it's been a long time coming this one. In fact any kind of travel has felt like a long time coming. The last time I left the country was back in May, to visit Mallorca with my family, and the last time I wrote a blog post was [...]

Littered with stunning waterfalls, the park draws coach loads of tourist each year. The national park was founded in 1949 and is situated in the mountainous karst area [...]
This is my favourite picture I took in Croatia. It was taken from our guesthouse room window and looks out of the Dubrovnik castle.
Following the infamous Inter-rail trip for Spring 2010, Croatia was next on the list. Croatia is a county I’ve always liked … but I’m unsure why. It probably has something to do with Davour Suker chipping Peter Schmiechael from the edge of 18 yard box during the 1996 European Championships. What a team they had! [...]
