I start the day off with a tactical error. The alarm goes off but Carol does not wake up and put it on snooze like she usually does. I decide to let her sleep another 20 minutes. Not a good choice as after breakfast she stresses out because we have to rush a bit to […]

Day at Lake Bled
I try and sleep in but fail. Carol is more successful until I can not stay still any longer and nudge her out of bed. We have an included breakfast and go down to check it out. There are scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, and little hot dogs. The usual cold cuts, cheese, bread, and […]
Slow Day to Slovenia
Today will be along travel day. We are ready to be picked up at our coordinated time of 0740. Marija’s husband Philip picks us up and we are at the train station by 0800, giving us 30 minutes until our train leaves. I confirm the platform and track with the ticket lady and we go […]
Time to Split
We wake up to the sound of rain. That makes us slow down a little in getting ready to go out. By the time we have coffee and get our things together, the rain has stopped and the sky is improving. We take the short walk to one of the entrances into Diocletians Palace. Diocletian […]
Plitvice National Park
The whole reason I ever had Croatia on my list is a result of pictures I saw years ago of Plitvice Lakes National Park. Today we are taking a tour there. I looked into doing this ourselves but the bus network did not look safe to try because of schedule and forums that said sometimes […]
Another Croatia Bus Adventure
Ana arrives promptly at 0830 to drive us to the bus station. She tells us she enjoyed our company and can tell we enjoy life and are very simple, easy, people. We arrive at the bus station a little early for our 0920 bus. This is by design. Unfortunately, two nights ago, Carol realized that […]
Walking the Wall
We force ourselves to get up early so we can beat some of the heat and crowds while walking the wall of Dubrovnik. We head out to the less traveled Ploce Gate of the old town and our timing is good as we get to the wall entrance right at the opening time of 0800. […]
Hot Day in Dubrovnik
A quote comes to mind. ” It’s a hot one, like seven inches from the noon day sun” Santana song. We or should I say Carol, slept in which means until 0840. It is already plenty warm out. They are having an extreme heat wave here so it is supposed to be 97 today with […]
On the Move
We get up early and are surprised that the Hilton has pastries, cold cuts, rolls and coffee out at 0400. We eat a pastry, Carol grabs a coffee, and we make sandwiches for lunch with a few extra pastries thrown in our bag as well. No hassle security, and then at the C gates, we […]
Last Day in Denmark
This will be our last day in Copenhagen and our last one in Scandanavia. Tomorrow phase two of our trip will begin. We get up, shower, eat breakfast, and pack. We are staying at the airport tonight, so we check out and store our belongings in the basement storage lockers. Then, a short walk leads […]
