Today was my last day in Tuscany and, thankfully, I was a bit less fuzzy today. It is never fun to get sick on a trip. On the agenda today was Florence with the hope that I would get to the city in time to see some of the Easter celebration at the Duomo. After…

Today’s blog is going to be a bit light on descriptive content. What I had hoped was allergies seems to be turning into a full head cold. This combined with the Zyrtec that I took and apparently wasn’t the non-drowsy formula means that I limped through most of today in a kind of haze. The…

Today’s intended travels were supposed to included San Gimignano and Volterra. I only got as far as San Gimignano. But before all of that, I did remember to take some shots of both my room and my hotel. Due to a mistake on my part I had to upgrade my room a bit to get…

Today will be a combo post of my last partial day in Croatia and my first partial day in Italy. My last day in Split was pretty darn good! The hotel I was staying at was kind enough to hold my bag for me during the day so that I could wander the town a…

I’m afraid today will be another day with little to tell. This morning I finally got to go to the ruins of the Roman town of Salona. Salona was just a bit north of Split and when it was sacked several times in the 6th century. The survivors fled to Split and rebuilt their lives…

Sadly, today will be another short post. I left Dubrovnik this morning to travel to the city of Split for the next three nights. I had hoped to seem a small museum along the way but they would only be open till 1 PM as it is Sunday. Turns out that this is the case…

Whenever you go someplace new, no matter how much you’ve read about it before hand, you never really know whether it will be worth the trip or not. Either way, at least you get to see something new. Today was a mixed bag of sorts. The morning was supposed to start with a trip to…

Today started out with far less wind and far less rain. By mid-day the rain had all but stopped. This meant I could finally walk the walls of Dubrovnik! Yesterday I had purchased a 3-day Dubrovnik card which allowed me entrance into a whole host of museums to keep me out of the rain. The…

I’m counting today as my first day in Croatia. I did arrive yesterday, Wednesday March 21, but all I did was travel. The trip to Croatia was one of the longer I have had to do. From the time I left my house to the time I got to my hotel, I had been traveling…
