 Few words about my holiday on Croatia :)




So we've been there for two weeks - my parents and I. We stopped at apartments "Lea" which has this lovely garden. (Going little bit forward - I used to sleep their, under moon and stars, under mandarin and lemon trees for last few nights). It is a good place, the problem was only with my parents sleep - because of plains and motors noise it was difficult for them.

We came their by bus - a 24 hours trip from Poland. We arrived at 24th August, and it have been little bit cloudy for first two days, but later the weather was perfect.

We took first three days to got used to a new place, both physically and logistically. And later we were going somewhere every second day instead of just swimming and swimming on a beautiful sapphire Adriatic Sea.

I forgot to say, that we stopped in Trogir on Ciovo island. We had just 5 minutes to get to the city centrum (an awesome medieval city I need to say), and also we had like 10 minutes to get to the closest beach, which was calm and silent. 15 minutes to get to another beach, which my mom liked.

My dad where making photos (most of them), so he isn't that much on photos. But sometimes I where taking the camera to make few pictures of my parents or sunset or whatever.

Water was from fairy-tail - so crystal clean. For first few days we were swimming without water mask, but later when we've bought it - we saw another world. We were swimming between hundreds of fish, looking on lots of sea urchins, bathing on sun rays of the marine essence.

 So later we were swimming with mask and watching this another space :)

Subtropical flora and fauna. I know, it looks just like a photo from internet right now, but it was real, it's real. Those wind noises of green forests under deep blue sky.


 We took a boat taxi thrice - it's so unusual for me, to see such professions at use. Yep, it would of been nice to had my own ship. Maybe not today, but still..
 Plains in Croatia are flying differently. I don't know how they are doing it.

It was our first travel - to another side of an island. May be I should of put few hundreds of photos here, to make sense of whole plans we've created, but i think it will be nicer just to see pictures little bit randomly :)

We liked so much this architecture of Trogir's. It's stone colors,

small streets inside of the city, which are always different, changing their width from house to house.

And mountains all around us. Ships, boats, different kinds of them.

Even a kind of submarine - of course a real one, just a boat which gives a possibility of seeing  marine world without diving.

We were there at a good time - there were not to many people - most of tourists left because of children's school year.

Also we were eating lots of local fruits - figs,  peaches, grapes.

 One day we took a fish picnic excursion. I can say I started eat fish there - it was a good time to do it.

 It was whole day excursion by "Mirakul" ship.

First we went to Drvenik Veliki island to Krkanjas lagoon,

 then, through the deeply blue sea, looking on white sails, disappearing over horizon,

 to small settlement Maslinica on Solta island.

 There we had a stop for two hours and we with my parents took a short walk around.
 My dad has an eye for beauties. :)

Those amazing contrast of green and blue were everywhere!

Ahmm..

 Yeah, and the water, the water was.. was so sea color!

 And nature so unusual. Of course for me :)

It was nice time with my parents. Yeah it was little bit difficult sometimes, but we made through it :)

 Yeah, something closest to be to open sea in my life.

 Some more of Trogir's architecture - like Kamerlengo castle

The Cathedral - buildings mostly 5-8 hundreds years old.

Also we went to Krka National Park, something I felt so close to Rivendell :)


Those waterfalls are so wonderful,  picture will never show whole experience, with growl of many waters

We were even swimming at such beautiful place, where water dust was mixed with air, rainbows where dancing under the calm sun.

And you could of stay and watch, and watch, and watch..

How stream dies becoming billions of pearl-drops, falls, and become whole again, changing from blue to green. And then again, again, through all steps of waterfall, running with another streams,

 all way to the Sea, between many trees,

 and rocks, to become a one with it.

 Here are just few photos of ships - there always new ones to the harbor.

Another day we had a hardcore trip through rocky island's tides

 to the top point of east part of Ciovo.

We had our adventure :)
