Croatia

Croatia is amazing.

No other opening line can describe this place. Marble steps and crystal clear waters, friendly people and great food.

Some places, like Split, have an enormous population of tourists, so it feels a little cheesy. We decided to go see some Islands, and every Aussie we met (along with many others) were all heading to the Island of Hvar.

We decided to follow a recommendation made by a Portuguese guy we met on the train out of Venice to go to the next Island down - Korčula. This is a special place.

The pace of everything on the Island is very slow and relaxed, so it`s good that we had our hectic stuff out of the way already and are in the mood for some swimming and sunbathing.

A highlight so far was renting scooters and riding along the coast of the Island. Such beautiful views and water. Amazing.

We also rode to one of the only beaches with sand in the South East corner of the Island, to find it covered in burnt German tourists (Prost!). Still, it`s more comfortable than walking on sharp rocks and shells to get in the water.

We`ve decided to stay her a little longer, just because it`s so beautiful and relaxing.

Shortly we`ll be heading inland to see Mostar in Bosnia, and then back to Kotor in Montenegro, and then to Dubrovnik back in Croatia.

Stay tuned for more photos and stories.
