Croatia is rapidly becoming the flavour of the month across Europe, with islands like Hvar drawing the discerning visitor and a more than few celebs in search of a more tranquil, exclusive escape from the maddening crowds of St-Tropez, Ibiza and the like. It’s not hard to see why – much more than just a magnate for sun and sand worshippers, Croatia seduces first-timers with its (as of yet)...
I am throwing caution to the wind and following my gut; I’m about to take the least planned expedition of all time. All of my time, anyway, thus far. I’ve come to a place in life where I can’t be bothered to do what I should do, like visit parents or apply for full-time employment, and instead plan to do what I want to do. What I could do.

We had the Croatia Lonely Planet Guide and chatted about which days we could get away to go see some of it, but hadn’t made definite plans. One afternoon, on our way back to our Dorsoduro apartment, located in the southwest corner of Venice, Italy, we popped in to the ferry terminal to check schedules and prices.

Two hours later, we were in Ljubljana (Slovenia). We had wandered around the city before our stomachs screamed lunch. After lunch, we drove for an hour to Trieste (Italy). We strolled along the port and made a round in the inner city where we found a nice little ice cream café that serves flavorful ice creams. We had lingered there for a while before we agreed to move on. It took us another two hours but it was still a bit bright when we reached our destination, Pula

We left the city and drove north on country roads along the western coast of
