For some reason, even if we’re in those really exotic locations, Chris and I always get colds. Apparently, our immune system isn’t that strong! But after spending two weeks inside the house (one to rest and get stronger, the second one to catch up on the work that we hadn’t done for a while), it was time for us to go outside! There are a lot of things that we want to do in Šibenik and biking to the St. Nicholas Fortress was one of them! So we filled up our water bottles, packed our swimming suit, rented our bikes …
Sea and Sun: Biking in the Countryside
A Day Trip to Zadar
Living in Šibenik is great, but there is so much more to Croatia than the city we are in right now. That’s why we decided to visit Zadar. We heard it had a super cool organ in the sea that made music with the waves, so we absolutely had to check it out. The other awesome thing? Zadar is only an hour and a half away. It was perfect for a day trip to get away from our computers and to explore Croatia! When we arrived at the bus station in the morning, we quickly noticed that Zadar is a LOT …
A Visit to the Monastery Garden
Chris and I have been in Šibenik for almost a month now, and we’re still amazed by how pretty it is. The sun is always shining and the flowers are blooming. After visiting the St. Michael’s Fortress last week, it was time to check out another jewel of Šibenik: the monastery garden. Hidden somewhere in the old town, we found it when we weren’t looking for it (and couldn’t find it when we were). It’s not as big as I expected, but it was a lot prettier. The first time we walked in it, it was the evening and we …
Food and Fortress: A Taste of Mediterranean
Since we arrived in Šibenik (pronounced Sh-ibenik) two weeks ago, it’s like we’ve been living in a dream. Who knew Croatia could be this beautiful? There are so many streets to explore, so many beaches to swim in and so many old buildings to discover. When we arrived in the city, one of the first things we noticed is the fortress. It sits on top of a hill, overlooking the channel that leads to Šibenik. It’s an impressive building that definitely has a lot of history. It also happens a place of entertainment. Walking around town, we saw so many posters of …
Top 10 things to do in Sayulita, Mexico
1. Relax on the beach The main attraction of Sayulita isn’t hard to find: it’s its beach. Calm in the morning while the fishermen are out and more crowded in the afternoon when the sun warms it up, it’s the perfect place to relax. Whether you want to swim or tan, don’t forget your suntan lotion or you’ll probably end up looking like a lobster. In the winter, the waves are usually fine to swim in. If you think the beach in town is too crowded, head north! There’s a beach there where you’ll find a lot fewer people. That’s …
