Holiday in Croatia

Magical adventures in Croatia with hundreds of sparkling waterfalls and more than a thousand islands set amid the blue of the sea, green mountain rivers and streams, virgin canyons, wild karst and mellow plains.

Nestling between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, in the south-eastern part of the European continent, Croatia jealously protects eight national parks, ten nature parks and a whole range of special reserves, including plant life, animals, geological formations, hydrological phenomena, all within a small but rich area that can be travelled by car from one end to another in a single day.

Many paths run between rivers, mountain peaks, tiny island ports and beaches, leading to Illyrian hill forts, to Roman ruins, to towns and cities that are themselves monuments, to ethno-entities of popular architecture.

A trip to Darwin

For years I have wanted to go to Darwin, ever since I heard the place discussed on Neighbours! The city is a bit of a Mecca for young people and sounds to me to be the most exciting place in the world! The climate there is like a tropical country – there is a wet season and a hot season! If you travel between May and October you can expect temperatures constantly in the mid thirties and there is plenty of opportunity to cool off in the beautiful waters of the endless coastline. I loved the idea of visiting this vibrant city and I had always planned to do it, but by the time I was away from University and I understood the world a little bit better I realised that It would cost a lot of money for me to get down there.

A few years ago I landed my first real job and I have been able to save up quite a bit of cash, purely for this adventure. Once the cash was there I started to look online for flights and I managed to find some pretty cheap Darwin flights available right in the middle of the dry season! I was able to take a whole month off work which meant that I would really be able to explore the area and see all that it had to offer. I booked the flights and packed my bags. I had wanted to do this for such a long time, and now that I could almost taste the place, I could barely contain my excitement!
