Today we headed to Plitvice National Park in central Croatia. It is the oldest and largest national park in Croatia, founded in 1949. We were here in mid-November with daytime temps in the 40s and a layer of fog that didn’t let up all day. So thick jackets and real Read more…
On our second day in Zagreb, we decided to visit the Art Pavilion. It sits in the center of town and was a quick walk from our parking/camping spot in town. A couple people recommended the Alexander Calder exhibit currently on display so we thought it would be a good Read more…
After visiting Krka National Park, we retreated to Split again because the weather was not cooperating. After a week of waiting for a nicer weather window, we headed back out with sights set on Zagreb and Plitvitce National Park. Hmmmm, not the sunny skies we were hoping for. Haha. Whenever Read more…
This afternoon we got to explore Krka National Park with sunny skies before the next round of rain clouds show up tonight. Since it’s off-season, we get to pay a discounted rate. We paid 30 kuna for adults and 20 kuna for kids 7-13 years old. Luka is 7 but Read more…

My family owns a few small plots of land with olive trees in the little village of Zastražišće on the island of Hvar in Croatia. The sleepy village really comes back to life this time year with an influx of family and friends helping with the harvest. This is the Read more…
After a year of driving a counter-clockwise loop of Europe, we are once again back in Croatia. I know our latest blog post had us in Albania still because this blog is sadly very behind. I hope you have been following along via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and/or YouTube. If you Read more…
A 7-hour ride on the ferry got us to Crete just before midnight. We slept at the ferry dock so Luka could ride his new birthday scooter the next morning. After a quick ride and some breakfast, we started our day with an adventure. Down a dirt road we go Read more…
Good morning from that shipwreck beach in Greece! And guess what today is? Luka’s 7th birthday!!!! First thing first? Birthday present scavenger hunt! And one in our friends’ VW bus too.
