This weekend was the last of our time in Croatia. We were expecting a lot of rain last week, but that mostly didn’t materialize, so we enjoyed one last Dalmatian coastal hike. This is the Setnica Walking Trail: a relatively short hike in Lapad that began about five minutes from[…]

All of this was a welcome contrast after our last[…]
