Summer is drifting into the background. Spent most

Summer is drifting into the background. Spent most of my beach days this year outside of the city, on little patches of sparsley-populated pebbles. The sea has been absolutely glorious, cleaner than it has been in ages. May have been lot of bad this year, but there has also been a lot of wonderful. . . . #dugirat #pebblebeach #beachbar #dalmatia #croatia

Throwing it all the way back to this day in 2013.

Throwing it all the way back to this day in 2013. This was a memorable day in my old hood, back when there were just a couple of caffe bars and long before the cruise ship crowds. Gosh, I miss this moment in time as well as Mala Kavana, my first "local". Sadly it was torn down to build absolutely nothing. This was the site of many great memories of my first year in Croatia. . . . #croatia #throwbackthursday #beachday #beaches #memories #adriaticsea

Today, I have a love story for you from one of my

Today, I have a love story for you from one of my readers called Tony. When I was up in Zagreb this summer, Tony asked that I check the front door of the train station for a lock, in case I passed by it. I did pass by and I did find the lock that him and his wife had put there 7 years ago. Why did they put this lock here? I'll let Tony tell you in his own words. -- In 1979, I left a cold and snowy Leningrad by train to have a couple of weeks in the Greek sunshine before going to live in Australia. On the train going through Germany I shared a carriage with a woman who was going to Vinkovci to see her parents. We got talking and it turned out that she and her English husband lived in a small village about three miles from my parents in England - quite a coincidence. The train pulled into Zagreb railway station. The woman’s sister Slavica, who lived in Zagreb, was waiting on the platform. That was the moment I first saw Slavica - she looked amazing and spoke pretty good English and straight away I knew we would just get along. Because I had nowhere to stay, she let me stay at her flat for the night since we were travelling the same direction the next day - her to Vinkovci, me to Greece. In Vinkovci, we exchanged phone numbers and said goodbye to each other. I went to live in Sydney, Australia for a couple of years. We didn't keep in touch but I did think about her so often. And then one day I was going to work and I just decided to return to the UK for a while. The day I arrived in England, the phone range at my parent's home and I just knew it was Slavica. She called to say that she was in England and had just arrived at her sister's place. So I took her out the next day. We chatted forever and I fell in love with her there and then. We got married in England a few months later and have been together ever since. In 2013 on the day of our 30th wedding anniversary, we put a love lock on the station door of Glavni kolodvor in Zagreb to commemorate the first time we saw each other. Thankfully it is still there today and we are still married and wouldn't change a thing about our lives. -- #lovestorys #Zagreb #lovelocks #croatia #lovestory

Whenever I visit my friend in Milna, I always pass

Whenever I visit my friend in Milna, I always pass through this little village of Ložišća, population 139. I absolutely adore its unique bell tower set across a backdrop of stone houses. Been waiting for the right moment to capture this scene and today turned out to be the day. . . . #islandbrac #belltower #baroque #village #croatiafulloflife #croatia #churches

After I moved to Split, locals started telling me

After I moved to Split, locals started telling me how the first week of September every year, a big storm rolls in that cools everything down. I thought, surely this is just a thing people say. It won't actually happen every year in the first week of September. The weather doesn't care what the calendar says. But low and behold, every year since I got here, there has been a big rain the first week of September. It's wacky. And this year was no different. There is no need for weather apps, just ask a Croatian. . . . #stormyskies #sailboats #stormyseas #bluesea #september #croatia #cloudy

Golden hour shines its orangey glow on this tiny spec of an island called Vrnik, off the coast of Korčula. Reminiscing of my day trip to Lumbarda last month that whizzed us by Vrnik on a water taxi. Made myself a promise then and there to stop on this lovely little isle on my next visit. . . . #korcula #goldenhourphotography #stonehouse #terracotta #adriaticsea #daydreaming #croatiafulloflife

I quite love Firule Beach in Split. This little sandy cove is still a locals-only spot, which is surprising and special. It used to be home to my fav caffe bar that used to sit right on the water and was the perfect home base for a summer day. Sadly it was closed a couple years back because it was "illegal", but aren't most things in Croatia a little bit illegal? Thankfully, there are still 3 other caffes hanging off the surrounding cliffs overlooking this beach, the sea and the islands, all suitable for an early morning coffee or a sunset pivo. . . . #firule #splitcroatia #beaches #adriaticsea #localsonly #sandybeaches
