I was reading a discussion yesterday about publishing a series of books and, apparently, there are people who prefer to wait until a series is completed before buying the books so they can read them all at once. I...

How much I spent in Zagreb

Lenny January 29, 2018 Croatia, Zagreb Leave a Comment 2144 Views

May/June 2017 Final budget post for Croatia! I properly did the tourist thing in Zagreb but buying the Zagreb card meant that it wasn’t too painful. Accommodation Airbnb apartment (4 nights) – a short tram ride from the city...

City break in Zagreb

Lenny January 25, 2018 City Break, Croatia, Zagreb Leave a Comment 2455 Views

May/June 2017 Although I’d really enjoyed my time on the coast, when I arrived in Zagreb I was happy to be back in a city. That made me pause and wonder why because I don’t think of myself as...

I have found the sunshine

Lenny January 21, 2018 Costa del sol, Malaga Leave a Comment 1898 Views

And it is in Spain. The Costa del Sol is truly living up to its name. My 2018 travels have started much later than I planned and I still haven’t kicked the annoying cough. Drinking lots of tea seems...

Sunsets in Zadar

Lenny December 5, 2017 Sunset, Zadar Leave a Comment 8537 Views

I have to confess that before I planned my Croatia trip, I don’t think I’d heard of Zadar but after Split and Dubrovnik, Zadar had a really chilled, resort feel. It seemed to be aimed more at holidaymakers than...

The people you meet

Lenny December 3, 2017 Leave a Comment 2467 Views

One of the wonderful things about traveling is the people you meet. To be fair, this isn’t an everyday occurrence for me because I am so self-contained that I don’t necessarily look for connections. However, on the train from...
