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...

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...

From Zagreb we caught a coach to Plitvice National Park. The Zagreb bus depot was about a km from our Hotel and we were in a rush but got there in plenty of time. We managed to get off at the wrong Ulaz (entrance) but we were staying at a 3 star B&B the people were...

Just arrived off the train to Zagreb Croatia from Ljubljana it's 11:31AM. Ironically we are staying for one night in "Hotel Central Zagreb" not to be confused with Hotel Center Ljubljana which we stayed in whilst in Ljubljana Slovenia. Haven't looked around at the...

Yesterday our first visit was to the Musée Rodin, you know, the guy that sculptured the famous "Thinker" statute. We had a tour through the Museum Gardens (Jardins) and had a good time checking out the statutes. He was a talented guy. We also did the obligatory trip...

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...
