Zbogom!

Adriatic Update April 17, 2018

Farewell! Before heading back to Belgrade we stopped at Plantaze in Montenegro. This winery is set in an old military aircraft hangar, way cool! Plantaze is one of Europe’s largest vineyards having over 11 million grapevines. The setting was neat, the wine was tasty and it was very interesting learning about the winery and its […]

Odlična hrana i sjajna muzika!

Opolo Adriatic Tour

Great food and great music! Today in Budva began with a city tour of Kotor where we saw many medieval architectural sites: St Tryphon’s Cathedral, impressive City Walls, St John’s Fortress, St. Luke’s Church, imposing Clock Tower and beautiful Gates to the Old Town. Following a tour was lunch at Stari Mlini – probably the […]

Vino, vino i morsko vino

Adriatic Update July 2

Wine, wine, and more wine! Today we traveled to Trebinje in Bosnia and Herzegovina for wine tasting, a monostary tour and delicious dinner atop a hill that over looked the entire valley. As we headed out of Croatia, we stopped for a breathtaking view of Dubrovnik and the Adriatic Sea. I can’t get over how […]

Dan za opuštanje!

Adriatic Update July 1

A day to relax! Today was a free day in Dubrovnik to relax, catch up, explore, whatever we pleased. Many of us were poolside, other shopped and a few went back to the old city to see the sites some more! We gathered back together for a beautiful sunset cruise to a retaurant right on […]

Stari grad!

Adriatic Update June 30, 2017

The old city! We made our way to Dubrovnik today but made a few stops along the way. First was to Grgic Winery then to Ston for a superb oyster and shellfish lunch! On our way to Dubrovnik, Croatia’s most famous city, we made a couple entertaining stops. First was to Grgich Winery on the […]

Vodopadi i vino!

Waterfalls and wine! Today was a scheduled free day for the group but for those that wanted to join us, we took a trip to a nearby national park, Krka, and visited the world famous winery, Bibich. Before arriving to our destination, we stopped at a vista point which overlooked the town of Skradin. Just […]

Pevati vodu!

Adriatic Update June 28 2017

Singing water! On to the coast today! For most of us, this was what we were waiting to see: these amazing clear, blue waters. Lunch in Zadar was very refereshing with a serving of fresh fish. We enjoyed dalmatian bruschetta and wine right on the water! It was beautiful! We walked along an ocean path […]

Duga, duboka pećina!

Duga, duboka pećina!

Long, deep caves! We began the day with a drive to Ljubljana, Slovenia today. The city was so charming with cafes along the river, pedestrian streets and adorable bridge crossings. It looked liked what I imagine Italy to look like! Our tour director, Jon, is from here in Slovenia so we were spoiled with lots […]

Gradska šetnja!

June 26 Adriatic Update

A City Stroll! Our first full day in Zagred began with a beautiful drive through the city followed by a walking tour through the streets. Zagreb has been compared by many to the feel and charm of Vienna and many of us agreed. We began by walking through Mirogoj Park Cemetery, a common place for […]

Nova zemlja!

Adriatic Update June 25 2017

A new country! Made the voyage to Zagreb today. Received another stamp in the passport! For me it was a second one but for others it was their 80th! We enjoyed stopping at convenience stores along the way, trying some native snacks and seeing the differences between countries. Just outside of Zagreb we stopped in […]
