How Bazaar!!

-

 







Mama: I got everyone up and going fairly early. Our bags are (hopefully) going to meet us in Dubrovnik, so we were light. The Grand Bazaar was amazing! It was what I was expecting but also not. They’re also a chance we just went around in circles for hours and only saw a small portion of it! We also walked to the Blue Mosque, which was really beautiful and a castle of some sort. We also got our pictures taken in totally typical Turkish clothing!

Oh! And OMG. Both Uber drivers we had did more dialling, talking, texting and social media-ing in an hour WHILST driving than I do in an entire month. Two phones, on the go, at 120km/h. I don’t understand how any of them are still alive??!

Then back to the airport where we found a Subway, which Bun happily hoovered and on to Croatia! 

Bud: Today is another travel day. We went to the Grand Bazaar, the biggest covered market in the world! I bought a really really fun spinning top toy. It’s super cool. We visited a really beautiful mosque. Everyone smokes here and it’s really unbearable. So was waking up early. But I really liked Istanbul! 

Bun: Today we went to biggest covered mall in the whole world! We got to see so many different stores! I loved the photos with fancy dresses and hats the most! Indy wore a king outfit and held swords and smokers. And we saw a Blue Mosque.

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...

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 🥵.

A Bug’s Life!

Mama: We had a slow day! The most exciting thing (aside from doing all our laundry) was seeing a Praying Mantis! I didn’t believe it when the kids said they saw one, so I sent them back with the camera! We also got a closeup of a cicada. The noise they make is aggressive. Papa: A nice slow day with pools, beaches, ping pong and dinner. All organized and ready to go to Split. Bud: We didn’t do anything today. But I spotted a Praying Mantis! Mama didn’t believe it, but I was sure. We played at the pool and the beach pool and got ready to leave. Bun: We had a chill day at the pool, then got organized to leave tomorrow. We got snacks at the grocery store. Then we went to the beach for late afternoon play and dinner. The tooth fairy finally came! I got five euros and a two euro coin for Bud. But she left me tooth. I wrote her a note to remind her take it tonight.
