Interesting Places

Summer in Bol

August 7, 2023: We have seen some beautiful places in our travels, but we come back to summer in Bol again and again. It remains our second favorite place!

Baška Voda

July 31, 2023: Baška Voda is stunning, with hyper-saturated blue skies and water, and the Biokovo Massif looming overhead. Do we maybe have a new second favorite place?

Return to Rovinj

July 28, 2023: Our final return to Rovinj provided happy reminiscing, with one cold shadow of a memory.

Lovely Ljubljana

July 27, 2023: Lovely Ljubljana gets our vote for the most enchanting capital in Europe, with its uniform architecture and lively evenings on the river.

The Soča Valley

July 26, 2023: Our scenic route from Bled to Ljubljana rose in the Julian Alps over the dramatic Vršič Pass and back down the emerald Soča Valley.

Lake Bled

July 24, 2023: Scenic Lake Bled sits at the base of Triglav National Park, a less-expensive but just-as-beautiful Lake Como in miniature that has drawn vacationers for centuries.

The Oldest Vine

July 23, 2023: The oldest vine still thrives where grapes were planted over four centuries ago in Maribor, Slovenia. But the wine is not for sale!

The Zagreb Rerun

July 23, 2023: We had time for a quick Zagreb Rerun this year. Though short, it was a nostalgic stop, like visiting an old friend.

Milford Sound

February 8, 2023: Queenstown. The engine revved, the prop roared, and our plane leapt from the runway. We were finally up and away to the Southern Alps and Milford Sound!

Doubtful Sound

February 1, 2023: Fjordland National Park. Without a doubt, one of our favorite stops on the New Zealand Trip was Doubtful Sound in Fjordland National Park. Breathtaking!
