Go Hvar! Via the magic of the internets we booked accommodation at Villa Zorana while we were in Split. Finding Villa Zorana was a bit of a challenge. Apparently Hvar has only just recently named the streets so even people that spoke English (which just about all do...

Croatia Day 3 – Split
From Plitvice - We caught a coach to Split. The interesting thing about the coach is that it takes a very circuitous route to get to Split so instead of taking 3 hours it takes 6. This was fine for us because it gave us a chance to see the country-side. Especially the...

Paris – Day 2 / 3
Day 2 After our 1st day in Paris my legs were very sore from walking just about everywhere. Day 2 was an excercise in endurance, despite severe muscular pain in my legs I still managed to walk all over the country side. We went into the Catacombs under Paris a place...
