Vacation Update

2583.4 km driven through 6 countries in 12 days.  10 cities explored and over 2500 pictures taken.  We laughed, we learned and we lived a bit of history.  We are home now for 2 days before we head out again for the U.S. portion of summer vacation.  I promise posts on all of the places we went but for now, I have a mountain of laundry to do before I pack it all up again.  Until I can sort through all of the pictures the big camera took, I give you my cell phone snaps of our journey...

Schools out and we are ready to hit the road.

 Stinkerbell is driving to give me a break as we wander Zagreb...

Zagreb - so much to see!

 Truffle hunting in Zagreb.

 Sarajevo - truly a melting pot of culture and history.

 The cemetery in  Sarajevo as you walk to the Yellow Fortress.  Sadly, most of the dates on these tombs are from 1992 - 1994.


The mosque in Počitelj from the Ottoman period.

 The bridge in Mostar.

 The view from our room in Split!  That whole city was amazing and a breath of fresh air after the heaviness of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

 A private tour in Split followed by


 An afternoon at the beach!

 We split from Split and hit the road to Plitvice to hike the canyons and waterfalls.  Which we would spend 2 days hiking.




   After being troopers and hiking all day (and half of the day before)- we sent the kids flying (ziplining) and then headed to pack up and relax.  We were off to Istria in the morning.


 The first thing we did after eating lunch in Rovinj - hit the beach!  That ouchy, rocky, hurty beach.  We still enjoyed it.

Rovinj!  I loved all the alleys and nooks and crannies.  Our apartment is the building on the right and our windows were the middle set.  The picture on the right is the view from our window to the street below.

 I snapped a lot of entrances in Rovinj.  They were sooooo cute.


 Our dinner view and the gelato next door.

 Sunset in Rovinj.

 The girls were eager to get in - even if the goggles were a bit too tight.

 Our view for our day in Italy.

 Saying goodbye to the beach in Italy.

 We wore her out.  This was her second nap of the day!

 Home!
