croatia | hvar

The last of the Croatia photos, finally! I'd been to Hvar before; it's ridiculously pretty and lovely so was more than happy to go back. But this time we got to explore more, I saw different parts of the island, did boat trips to some other islands nearby, and saw some ridiculously breath-taking lagoons. It was lush. This part of the holiday was all about seafood, swimming in the sea, relaxing and loads of fun. If you've never been to Croatia before, and get the opportunity to go, then take it. It's magical. 

croatia | mljet

We went to Mljet National Park as a day trip from Dubrovnik. A bus, a ferry and a couple of mountain bikes and we were surrounded by the most beautiful lakes and gorgeous green scenery. This place is stunning. It's also totally worth the pretty steep cycle ride from Polače to get there, as cycling round the lakes was not only super fun but also a great way to take in as much scenery as possible and find the nicest swimming spots! Quite possibly the clearest water I've ever ever swam in!

croatia | dubrovnik

Walking through the gates into the old city of Dubrovnik is a bit like walking into an actual fairy tale. Oh my swoony gorgeousness! This place blew my mind and took my breath away. Terracotta rooftops, high stone walls, turquoise sea, beautiful churches and stunning palaces, washing lines and shutters, and quaint old alley ways. I cannot wait to go back already.   

I couldn't get enough of this place. It was the first stop in our trip, and we totally wish we'd had at least an extra day just to soak up the old city that little bit more. I'll definitely have to go back sometime soon! A few highlights were -

+ Drinks at Buza Bar under the moonlight  - an incredible bar on the sea rocks through a door in the city walls.  
+ Walking around the city walls. It's totally worth it, and the photo opportunities just kept getting better and better! 
+ The beautiful stone architecture, the tiles, the shutters and all the washing lines!

Just over a week ago I got back from an amazing, beautiful and ridiculously fun holiday in Croatia, and ever since then things have been crazy hectic go go gooooo! So I'm just gonna look at these photos and pretend like I'm bobbing about in crystal clear turquoise water under the adriatic sun for a while, okay? 

I'll be back soon with more photos and a few of my holiday highlights!
