Goodbye Croatia. Just a quick post today, but a few photos, as I am leaving Croatia and heading for a new adventure in Italy. It seems like months ago since I first arrived in Zagreb and while I remember places and sights it seems ridiculous to me that I'm forgetting where I was just a couple of days ago. Thank goodness for photos and this post to remind me. I guess that's the sign of a good but jam-packed holiday.
Here are the things I have loved about Croatia: Stone houses with old shutters and doors, cypress trees, water so clear it teases you to jump right in fully clothed, never getting tiring of looking at the colours of the water (aqua, turquoise, emerald green, sea green, sapphire blue, deep blue), pebble beaches, swimmings off the rocks, the history and architecture, wine with lunch and dinner, cheese and proscuitto, gorgeous seaside towns with boats bobbing in the water. And of course cats - one of the guides said that there are no stray cats in Croatia and the Croat people don't own the cats, the cats own them.
What I needed for time for: getting lost, taking more photos, taking more walks (refer getting lost), swimming and chilling by the sea.
