Best laid plans…

Mama: We had a nice easy morning. And I am loving the breakfast buffet!! (Something I never thought I’d say…) We had planned an excursion for the afternoon, but they cancelled on us! So we went back through the walled city with Papa. But first a jump in the ocean!

Papa: Croatia is really beautiful in the day light! We went into the walled city. It’s intense. And surprisingly well kept. The rocks into the sea were slimy and Mama kept yelling things were touching her. Mama and the kids went into at least 100 stores. We ended the night with drinks while the kids played in the pool. Not too shabby. 

Bud: It was really fun and refreshing to swim in the Adriatic! We went into the walls again and bought a frog that croaks. It’s super cool. We also got name bracelets. Then we ate and swim some more in the ocean and in the pool. 

Bun: I loved swimming in the sea and playing in the tide pool! We went into the walls again with daddy and got ice cream again. We got bracelets made from soft wire. We got to watch them get made.

The Eye of the Earth!

  Mama: Good-bye Korčula! We packed up the car and plotted the road to the Eye of the Earth - a really cool freshwater spring - at Bud’s request. And after one ferry, two giant bridges, seven u-turns and 200 km, we arrived! It was really cool. And really cold!! It was unexpected, but was probably 5 C! We checked it out and then split for Split! (Great mama joke!) Papa: Google maps has not perfected Croatia. The highways were great, but as soon as you exited, all bets were off! The eye was cool, but definitely needed a drone. It was nice to get to Split. We arrived and unloaded and then found a delicious Indian restaurant in the old town.  Bud: It was a really long and tiring car drive, but it was worth it to see the eye! We don’t know why, but the spring was really cold! Colder than the hotel pool. We weren’t allowed to swim in the spring, but I don’t know if we would have anyway. It was that cold! It was nice to get to our hotel in Split.  Bun: It was a long day in the c...

Rome then Home!

Mama: We packed up and said good bye to Croatia! The flight was quick and on time. We landed in almost 40 degree heat! It cooled down a tiny bit and we walked for pizza and a quick look at the Colosseum! Kinda bonkers.  Papa: We can see the Colosseum from the hotel. That’s pretty cool.  Bud: I’m excited to something new! The Colosseum is pretty crazy. I can’t wait to see inside.  Bun: Going to Rome is super exciting because one of my friends did her expository on Rome and she was right! I love it in Rome, even though it’s hot 🥵.

“Hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo...”

Mama: Clearly Joey Tribbiani has never been to the foothills of mount Tibidabo. We decided to hike instead of take the funicular. It was supposed to be 20 minutes, but with the unmarked path and useless Google directions, it was closer to 90!! But there was some stunning views. We went to the Tibidabo Amusement Park and then home to get ready to leave.  Bud: I got to go on the bumper cars! And we got to hike up a mountain and we got candy. The bumper cars were so fun! Bun: We got to go on Farris wheel. It was so fun! We even got to go on a merry go round. Me and daddy did a bubble hairdo for Bud!
