#BloomScrolling I've been looking for the right moment to try this shot which is right around the corner from our place for the summer. Sarlat-la-Canéda, France #TravelPhoto#Wanderlust
These signage(s) put by the Border Roads Organization, National Highway 54 #Mizoram, #India. Besides the advice, always puts a smile on the face of weary travelers.
#SplitHappens - part 11. We had heard that Croatia had good wines, and decided to tour the wine regions. It didn’t take long before we were disabused of the notion that Croatia’s wine country would be anything like Italy’s Chianti Road. This was before iPhones, so we were relying on a printed version of directions we downloaded from Google Maps. More than once I just threw up my hands when the directions said “Go straight for 43.3 km. Turn left.” That’s all. Turn left. #TravelTuesday
#SplitHappens - part 24. As our Croatian adventure started to wind down, we made our way to Dubrovnik. This is what I wrote at the time: "You know how when you go to a fireworks show, and the first part of the show is like 'Oooh.' 'Aaah.' And then it's like 'OoohAah, 'OohAah,' and then at the end they are so high and so close together you are almost dizzy going '000, 00o, Ooo, OohAahOohAah!!!!' It's kind of like that." #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
#SplitHappens - part 26. The 89th day of our exile from Italy found us back in Split where it all started. It was nice to be there in October, without the heat and hordes of tourists. We enjoyed eating with the locals, and exploring Diocletian's Palace and the cathedral by ourselves. And so the Magical Mystery Tour ended the way it began, with a full moon over Split. Full car, full hearts, ready to take the overnight ferry back home. #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
#SplitHappens - part 22. It is a miracle that we ever heard about Mljet. The owner of our favorite beach bar in Split recommended it as his favorite place to travel in Croatia. We would never have made it if we had listened to that guy with two first names who said: "Many Croatians rave about Mljet. Take it with a grain of salt." He calls the park "overrated," and suggests that "one day is plenty for Mljet." That guy’s an idiot. #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
#SplitHappens - part 20. At day 60 of our Magical Mystery Tour, we left Istria to return to Croatia’s mainland, and it just kept getting better. We took the ferry over to the islands of Kres-Losinj and enjoyed perhaps the most dramatically beautiful coastal drive I'd ever seen. (Well, when I didn't have my eyes squeezed shut, that is!) Mali Losinj is a fishing village which combined medieval cobblestone streets with a laid-back Keys feeling. #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
#SplitHappens - part 23. Your travelers next went to the charming little town of Mali Ston, where we enjoyed the best-equipped kitchen we had encountered during our odyssey in Croatia. A sharp knife! A cutting board! The one thing that all of our prior non-hotel accommodations had in common was a kitchen approximately the size and configuration of a thimble. I was in heaven. The town, and neighboring Ston, were lovely, too. #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
#SplitHappens - part 21. We spent 9 days exploring the clear, clean water of Mljet Island’s two interior lakes, thick forests, and heartbreakingly beautiful views. The western end of the island is a national park which contains about five little villages, each more quaint than the next. We stayed in one of the apartments rented out by islanders which offered home-cooked meals from the abundant local seafood, caught that day. #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
#SplitHappens - part 25. Toward the end of the Magical Mystery Tour, we dipped down to Kotor, Montenegro, a place of ethereal beauty. They say that the drive around the Bay of Kotor is one of the most magically beautiful in the world. They aren't kidding. #TravelTuesday#Wanderlust
