We thought we had a pretty good idea of what awaited us in Seville when we travelled to the Andalusian capital in the fall of 2019. But quite quickly it turned out that we had no idea of the magnificent splendour we were about to experience. Not even in our wildest imaginations, we could have foreseen what we were about…
We have been in love with Croatia for several years and revisiting this beautiful country in the Balkans in the summer of 2018 got the crush to flare up, BIG TIME. Preparing for our trip we just had to decide where to go. Croatia is a true cornucopia of ancient history, indescribably beautiful national parks, rugged coastlines, crystal clear sea water, a friendly and smiling population, old towns, many of which are on UNESCO’s heritage site, roaring rivers, wild mountains…
