Exhausted No More
/0 Comments/in Croatia, Europe, Travelogue /by allanI prefer not to ride when I’m staying in and exploring a city like Zagreb. So given its central location and neighbor to a number of foreign embassies, I decide to leave “Doc,” my motorcycle, at Logobola B&B, even though I’m staying with Stanka on the other side of town. Doobie offers me to join […]
Catching Zees in Croatia—Zadar to Zagreb
/0 Comments/in Croatia, Europe, Travelogue /by allanWith the sun setting over the Adriatic, I ride out of the coastal hills to Zadar, the fifth largest city in Croatia. Though there’s plenty to see in Zadar, I must move on to Zagreb, the number one and capital city of Croatia. Most of the reasonably priced hotels are fully booked, so I arrange […]
BIBICh: Crazy for Wine & Food In Dalmatia
/5 Comments/in Croatia, Europe, Travelogue /by allanThe ride from Šibenik east, into the coastal foothills near Skradin and Krka National Park takes me less than thirty minutes.

/0 Comments/in Croatia, Europe, Travelogue /by allanTonight marks night three here for me on Vis, and my fourth day wandering around the pleasant village of Komiza. The lighting storm turned to rain early this morning, which I thought would hinder my plans to take a boat out to Biševo Island to explore the mysterious blue cave. Just five miles, or about […]
The Show From Lightning Laced Komiza Skies To Crazy Konoba Locals.
/2 Comments/in Croatia, Europe, Travelogue /by allanThere’s not much to do in Komiza, save day trips by boat to nearby islands, eating, drinking, and wandering the maze of walkways that creep up the hillside. Tour operators tout a short trip to an uninhabited island that has a unique ‘blue cave.’ I make a note to consider this excursion tomorrow morning. After […]
Get Me Far Away From Split. The Ferry to Vis and Ride To Komiza.
/0 Comments/in Croatia, Europe, Travelogue /by allanLast night during my last supper here in Split, I honed down the growing grudge forming in my psyche. With Bokeria manager Marko shouting down the walkway after being turned away by the hostess, “fully booked.” They find a lone stool and seat me at the bar. Moments later, with a glass of chilled posip […]
