The Top Reasons You Should Take a Boat Tour in Split, Croatia
We love Croatia! There’s really no place on Earth quite like it. While Split is a popular tourist destination for many European and American travelers, it still remains uncrowded compared to big cities like Rome and Vienna. It is easy to relax while strolling along the streets, listening to music in the square, sunbathing on the beach, or swimming in the Adriatic Sea. You could easily spend your entire holiday in Split alone; however, we think you should experience some of the other Croatian islands. The best way to do that is by boat! Now chartering your own yacht for the holiday would be ideal, but if you’ve booked your…

3 Days in Okrug, Croatia Itinerary
Lauren embarked on a 10 day girls’ Eurotrip with Harry’s mum and sister. Before we began our journey, we met in London to pick up Harry’s sister, Becky. As mentioned in an earlier post, she studied abroad at Oxford University. Harry’s mom and I took the Tube, London’s train system, from London Heathrow Airport to Kings Cross Station. After picking up Becky, we took the Gatwick Express train to Gatwick Airport and stayed the night at the Travelodge airport hotel. We found that the hotel room was lacking things such as soap, and our air conditioning had broken during the night. At the time, London was experiencing a heatwave which made this…
