Sitting by the water at a beach in Zadar
Back in 2012 my girlfriend (now wife) and I visited Zadar. We spent a day exploring the Old Town, another day touring the Kornati Islands, and an evening enjoying the sunset and the Sea Organ. Our last day was spent by the water doing nothing but enjoying the view from Puntamika Beach. There’s a line… — read more

Sunsets in Zadar
“Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world, more beautiful than the one in Key West in Florida, applauded at every evening.” Alfred Hitchcock said that during his stay in Zadar in 1964.

A wander around the old town of Zadar in Croatia
After visiting the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, for a day we headed to Zadar for a few days on the beach. I say beach but the Croatian coast is mostly rocks.

2012 – A full day in Budapest
Budapest was hot. I sticky kind of hot as if you were a melted plastic toy covered in cat fluff. Our British friend Ben took us for a walk around the city. Nowhere in specific. A general wander that took in a few sights with no real pressure to be anywhere. It was nice. Hot,… — read more

Arriving in Budapest in late August and it was hot. Really really hot. We met my wife’s friend there and he lead us to our apartment for the week. It was my first time staying somewhere that wasn’t a hotel and I was a bit nervous. Where does food come from in the morning? (Spoiler:… — read more
