It is true what they say that you don't know true love til you have a child. From the moment i knew I was pregnant I was in love with him. It was love at first sight literally when I first saw his face, when I first held him and when he smiled at me for the first time. 
He is such a mamas boy, his smile brightens up my day, and his hugs can make me feel better on a bad day. 
I'm not big on Valentines day.  This boy gives me love and happiness everyday of the year, and that's all any mother could ask for! . .

So many people I know have moved to Australia for the "nice weather". Australia is beautiful and we have have nice weather but it's also known to have extremes. We have a joke here that in sydney you can experience 4 seasons..all in one day! 
Sydney and Adelaide have had extreme heatwaves with temperatures up to 45-50 in some areas , Townsville and Ayr where I once lived got 3 years of rain in just over a week and now is experiencing massive flooding and half of NSW was experiencing massive droughts end of last year.

Have you ever moved somewhere for the weather? Where would you if you could? . .

If anyone has been up to North Queensland you'd know the beauty of the place and the kindness of the locals. 
It was my home for a year. So it saddened me to see all the footage of this gorgeous place flooded and people loosing their homes. Townsville has had a years worth of rain in just 9 days. 
Thinking of all my friends in Townsville, Ayr and Home Hill. Xx .

How much have you changed in 10 years?

In the spirit of the 10 year challenge, I looked back at my Facebook photos of 2008/9. Its made me realise that not only have I changed how I look like, but also my mindset and way of thinking. I also realised how much I have changed over the last 2 years since becoming a mother esp the last year of being a single mother. I don't put myself first anymore. I've also learnt how amazing it is to fall in love so quickly with a tiny human you grew inside you for 9 months, the moment you first lay eyes on them. 
I wonder what the next 10 years will be like and how much would it have changed? I'll be 40 with a pre teen 😣 .

SARAJEVO, the city full of soul. Its the city where east meets West.  The city where its "coffee first then everything else", the city where you can hear mosque prayer calls and church bells go off at the same time, the city that was heavily destroyed during a 4 year siege in the war but is booming with tourism. Its the city that captures many hearts and where many people do return to (local legend has it if you drink from the Sebilj Fountain you will return)! Have you been yet? . .

If this cheeky boy had his way he would always be in water. 
Had to keep getting him out as the Neretva river is ice cold, and after a few minutes you can't feel anything! 
Can you believe people actually jump into the river from a 24 metre high bridge for a living? Crazy right!! It's a tradition dating back to the Ottoman times.

What's the most daring thing you have done while travelling or back home? .

Chasing Waterfalls- Krka with Adriatic4you

February 25, 2016 croatia, review, waterfalls

Waterfalls are a beautiful creation of nature and the Balkans sure have plenty of them. While I was in Split last year in September, I was very fortunate to join Adriatic 4 You on two waterfall tours –Krka and Plitvice. Each one as amazing as the other.

krka\DSCN9219

Our wonderful guide Darijo explaining the map and the plan for the day to our group

Krka National Park

 

Krka National Park is located in Central Dalmatia, just a few kilometres north east of Šibenik. The national park is one of seven parks in Croatia, formed in 1985 to protect the Krka River and today it is a major tourist destination.

DSCN9230 DSCN9228
The National Park covers an area of just over 142 square km and includes two thirds of the river itself. With magnificent waterfalls, including the famous Skradinski Buk falls; lowest of the three sets of waterfalls formed along the Krka river, crystal clear waters, a natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and cascades at the other, you can see why people all over the world come to see the beauty of Krka.

DSCN9312DSCN9244

In the bus Darijo explained how these waterfalls formed and how Krka would not be as magnificent as it is today, if not for karst (limestone destruction by water and wind). Over thousands of years the limestone rock formed into a series of gorges and waterfalls by the water left in the calcium compounds that are deposited on aquatic plants, hardening it into a rock and forming terraces. Where the water flows slowly, it forms an island. Where it flows faster, it forms a waterfall, just like at Plitvice lakes. This is why the park is UNESCO protected.

When we reached the water, we had lunch at the restaurant followed by free time for a swim. I had my camera and GoPro 4 in my bag to take care of, so I explored around taking photos. I sat on a rock for a good 10 minutes, in awe of the grand beauty.

The water mills 

 

Along the course of the river are about 30 water mills, and several washing holes and columns. They show a traditional old way of life that existed until the early 20th century when modern technology took its place. During the 14th and 15th centuries, the water mills were important for the Adriatic coast, as wheat was milled here for several towns.

After we finished at the waterfalls, before heading to Šibenik , we stopped at Skradinski buk (one of the main waterfalls),  where you can find the largest and well preserved structures – the Gornja kuća (Upper House). It features an upstairs kitchen, water mills, and milling wheels on the ground floor, and gives people a good look into the country’s past and how the people once lived and worked. There is also a small cave where where cloths and blankets were made. A strong stream of water would hit the top of the beam and turn two wooden hammers, hitting the material and softening it. This column also had several washing holes where products were washed and softened.

After Krka, we got onto the bus and headed to nearby town of Šibenik. Stay tuned for Part 2 which is all about the gorgeous little town.

Book the tour!

Transfers_a4y-1

Adriatic4you are specialised in organizing unique and unforgettable vacation. In addition to their exceptional one day tours, they are experts in transfers, rental services and finding quality accommodation for you. They are located in the Old Town of Split, right inside Diocletian Palace.

A one hour walk through the national park, you will have a licenced guide to show you the waterfalls, tell you the history and take you to the ethno village and oldest hydro-electric power plant of AC in Europe. After that follows free time for swimming, lunch and exploration of the park until departure time in the afternoon. In Šibenik accompanied by a licenced guide, you walk through the Old Town and visit the famous Cathedral of St. James protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage.

I can honestly say this was an amazing day. From first contact, to the meeting at the agency and the tours, these guys were professional, knowledgeable and easy going. Darjio made the 2 hour bus ride enjoyable, telling us all about the history of Split, and Sibenik and the gorgeous waterfalls. If you are in Split, Croatia BOOK with them, you will have an amazing experience…especially if you get Darijo as your guide!

PRICE: per person from Trogir 410 KN/56 Euro

**I experienced the Krka Waterfalls tour as a guest of Adriatic4you, however my opinion is my own as always!

    It’s a good thing I came accross this post. Growing up, my dad was in Croatia during the war. And, brought back a magazine that featured this water fall and a host of other places. Sad thing is, I only admired the beautiful scenery but couldn’t read a thing because it was written in the local language. I’m glad I know the name of that place. Now, I can plan a visit.

    Whenever you can, I’d love you to check out my blog

    Krka was so stunning! I visited in May of 2013 and fell in love so bad. And had a swim under the biggest waterfall of course. Loved your photos by the way. 🙂
