Day 4 - May 31

 I had a terrible night. Could not stop worrying about my current physical state. I'm struggling with some unexpected female problems and my anxiety is off the charts. 

Finally fell into a tormented sleep at about midnight. Slept about six hours. Missed breakfast but managed to get some coffee down me. 

Loaded into the bus and headed to Krka Park. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and bright. The park was absolutely gorgeous. Waterfalls everywhere and luscious and green. We did a two mile walk through the park and then boarded a boat that took us up the lake. Stopped at a monastery and walked a bit there on a tiny island. Boarded the boat again and went up to yet another waterfall. So beautiful. Got off the boat and walked about a mile to a house where we were fed lunch. It was story book like with gorgeous views of the lake. We were fed fresh trout and potatoes. The food was delicious. 

Boarded the bus and returned to Trogir. Lovely views along the way.

We rested a bit and then went to a lecture about the history of Croatia. I had a really hard time following everything. I'm a wreck. Afterwards, we ate dinner at the hotel. I don't love the food here. It is barely passable. 

After dinner, Matt and I walked through Old Town once again. I broke down and sobbed on him. I'm so scared and feel like I do not have the strength to face anything. Matt was wonderful as always. I'm a lucky girl. 

Tomorrow we leave Trogir and head to Makarsaka.

Day 11 - June 7

 Today we traveled from Makarska to Dubrovnik.  After the hotel breakfast - which for me was the same every day - yogurt with granola and coffee followed by a chocolate croissant - we boarded the bus, all packed up and ready to leave for the next fun thing. The drive along the coast line was beautiful. Croatia never disappoints with beauty around every turn. We stopped in the town of Narona for a museum tour. Narona is built on old Roman ruins from that date B.C. The museum has some incredible statues and a temple that have been unearthed. The tour took about an hour and a half and as usual, this is not my favorite thing. I have such a hard time being curious and interested about this stuff. But I endured and Matt enjoyed it.  After the tour, we crossed the street and boarded some old wood boats for a tour on the Narona River. It was beautiful and serene. It was mostly just entertainment for us with a different type of experience. After the river ride, we had lunch. I lov...

Day 12 - June 8

 We had an early start this morning. Had to be ready for the bus by 7:45.  Headed down at 7 for the hotel breakfast and what a spread. Good grief. I can't even think about all that food. I just headed to the yogurt and had my typical. And of course, I added the half chocolate croissant. I've got to get back to some sort of my normal eating. I've had so much sugar here. Eating dessert regularly and not just a bite! Eating the whole thing several times a day. But that is a plan for forward, not for what has already happened. We drove a short distance and disembarked for our hike. It is a beautiful warm day. We hiked over rocky trails and through the mountain side until we arrived at Cilipi, about 4 miles. We watched a folk dance presentation here which was enjoyable. The music and dance displayed was the traditional Croatian. Afterward, we viewed all the local wares for sale and went through the local museum. Back on the bus, we headed for lunch in the town of Cavtat.  Lunc...

Day 13 - June 9

 We enjoyed another of the incredible breakfasts this hotel offers this morning. I love the coffee here. It reminds me of Italy. Very smooth and not very strong. You don't even need sugar.  After breakfast, we all boarded the bus for Old Town Dubrovnik. This incredible fortress was built - or at least started - in the 12 century. It is very old. We started our time here with a city tour. Tamara is a wealth of information and gave us a lot of Croatian history as we walked through the Old Town. After the tour, we opted to walk along the top of the city walls. This walk is close to two miles and the views are spectacular from every direction. After our walk along the city walls, we had lunch together in the Old Town.  Just all wonderful experiences. The people are great and having the opportunity to be here is incredible. And in spite of so much heartache in my life, being with Matt never ceases to be enjoyable. We are so well matched in every way. His desire to never spend ...
