CROATIA
Croatia..the lovely Dalmatian Coast and the pearl of the Adriatic. We started off in Split - Plitvice Lakes - Hvar and finally, Dubrovnik. Definitely a paradise.
​
Starting off with an amazing jump in the Mediterranean Sea - the swim was so refreshing I almost felt home again. Floating under the boiling sun and refreshing waters was such a pleasant experience. The coastal mountains reminded me of California. The countryside reminded me of Italy. I did not expect to see so many mountains in the horizon but on the way to Plitvice Lakes, it was definitely the scenic route.
​
But the sky, the sky was so bright and perfect that not a single cloud existed in the Croatian sky. Every morning I woke up, it was a full bright sun in the center of the pale, blue perfect horizon. I hadn't seen such a perfect sky for 7 days straight. Clouds did not exist for a week, just the sun to say hello and a beautiful harvest moon to say goodnight.
​
The lakes at Plitvice Lakes is so clear that you could see hundreds of fishes swimming as if they were under a glass. So bright blue, crytal clear giving off perfect reflections. I loved hearing the sound of the waterfalls again - one of my favorite sounds.
Dubrovnik - turned out to be one of my favorite cities. Walking the Ancient City Walls in the Old Town was such a new, amazing experience for me. A different perspective looking ahead at at the ancient forts, towers, houses after houses.
The Old Town is spectacular and a wonderful walk especially in the evenings where it started to cool down. Very lovely narrow allie ways to walk through.
Paradise.
