A third early morning, this one forced by the ferry schedule, had us up early again and scrambling to make sure we got to the port on time. We arrived a bit frazzled and definitely out of breath, only to…
We’ve come so Hvar
Somehow we woke up early, again, grabbed tasty tasty Croatian pastries and made quick (ish) work of the hike up the hill to the fortress over looking the town of Hvar. We saw the view, some recovered amphorae from shipwrecks,…
Korčula: No Pain, No Gain
Thanks to the encouragement of our AirBnB host “mom” in Korčula, Grant found some chivalry and ducked out early to grab a breakfast to be enjoyed on the rooftop patio over looking the town. When we told “mom” later, she…

We went chasing waterfalls…
…and decided not to stick to the rivers and lakes that we’re used to. We woke up early and had a nice simple, yet hearty, breakfast at our inn. The highlight being bread and lots of individually packaged spreads; the…
Goodbye Armenia, Hellooooo Croatia!
Our last night in Armenia was a doozy. A 6am flight required us to leave for the airport at 3am, so we made the bold decision to stay up all night. Grant worked on booking us up through Croatia, and…
