Euro Trip Day 9: In which we get to Korčula and I wonder why we didn’t just go straight here
(Side note — the island’s name is actually pronounced “KOR-chula” — the č in Croatian is a ch sound.) So today I discovered one of the little problems with traveling and not really having a set schedule… one forgets what day it is fairly easily. This morning I woke up gradually shortly after 8, as [...]
The bluest water I’ve seen outside of a Ti-dee-bowl drop-in

Before I start my post, I have to say one thing: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! :-) Ok, moving on. :-) This is part of the old city wall in Dubrovnik, southern Croatia.
