Day Three…. After about 3-1/2 hours of sleep, we headed back to the airport to retrieve the missing luggage (they don’t deliver here – you have to retrieve it yourself). It was a beautiful morning (70-ish) to drive with the windows down and this was our first glimpse of Tashkent during the day. What a...
Continue readingDay 1 (travel day, flight day, etc……) a very long start. We normally don’t report on our outgoing journey, which is often why we don’t truly have Day 1’s and why this is more a narrative of the day with minimal pictures. But this was a very long journey that was a bit...
Continue readingWe left Plitvice Lakes and headed north today. It was foggy in the park and on the mountaintops, but nothing like yesterday at the waterfalls! The drive down was super windy due to something called bora winds (pronounced “boo-ruh), which can produce winds over 125 mph. Luckily we didn’t experience those winds, but it was...
Continue reading**** Sorry for the delayed post, internet speeds/serviceability in remote national parks is just not terribly conducive to posting/keeping a blog up **** We started early today, as we had a lot of ground to cover to get to the Plitvice Lakes national park. Our first stop was just 17 miles from Split in the...

A thin strip of Bosnia and Herzegovina stretches to the Adriatic Sea, bisecting the country of Croatia. To get from Dubrovnik to Split we had to leave Croatia, cross the border into...
Continue readingOur final day in Drubrovnik was a good one! Great weather, great adventure, great company. Our first activity was to take the 1.25 mile walk on the city wall of Dubrovnik, which offers amazing views of sea and land, and also gave us a completely different view of the old city. There were a few...
Continue readingOkay, today is going to be about Dubrovnik, as that is all we did today… Our first full day in the beautiful coastal city of Dubrovnik, Croatia! Did we mention beautiful?! It was another day that started with rain but quickly turned into sunshine and a beautiful 64 degrees. Our morning started with a panoramic...
Continue readingAfter a very hot night in Kolasin, Montenegro we woke up to a cool, rainy morning. Why was the night hot? Once the temperature is cool for about a week, hotels in the area shut off the AC and only heat is available. We slept with the windows open even though it was in the...
Continue readingToday was our last day in Albania. We packed up and left Tirana. Getting out was fun (and our bus driver was glad we were leaving), as Albanians generally believe traffic laws are optional guidelines, that they generally ignore. For example controlled intersections (traffic signals, round-abouts, etc) generally mean “obey the general gist of ...
Continue readingFirst, sorry for the tardiness in getting this post up. We left our travel laptop at our family’s house over Thanksgiving. Now, on to the post… Last day in the Czech Republic! We spent the day in the medieval town of Cesky Krumlov, located in the South Bohemia region of Czechia (if you now have...
