We spent 11 wonderful days in Stari Grad, a quaint seaside town on the island of Hvar in Croatia. After packing and moving around every few days, the longer stay here was welcomed. We were able to slow down and just enjoy the little town and the beach every day. Stari Grad is located on the northern side of the … Read More
Zagreb was a lovely surprise. A place well-deserving of more than just two days of our attention. But as our summer plans were made much in advance, we didn’t know what to expect so we dedicated just a few days for certain cities.

Baharak and I figured that certain times on our trip should be put aside for Kasm, our nine-year-old son. We spend a good part of our days in museums, strolling down cobbled laneways looking at the architecture and generally doing adult oriented meanderings. Some time just for the boy seems fair. We thought Kasm would enjoy Legoland as he’s constantly … Read More
