An Enthusiastic Traveller

We left Split behind and on our way to Pul we did a small stop in Trogir. Gorgeous Trogir is set within medieval walls on a tiny island, linked by bridges to both the mainland and to the far larger Ciovo Island. St. Lawrence's Cathedral The old tow has retained many intact and beautiful buildings from its age of glory between the 13th and 15th centuries. In 1997 its profuse collection of Romanesque and Renaissance buildings earned it World Heritage status. We spent around 2h exploring the narrow cobbled stone streets of the old town. I will let the pictures take you on a journey to the past. Enjoy!  Small clock tower Church and monastery of St. Dominic

With the four of us we are going to do a road trip along the coast of Croatia, to discover Northern & Central Dalamtia and Istria. We stayed in Split for 3 nights and only 2 days full to discover the city. In the first day we went to two beaches and did a hike on the way back through Marjan Forest Park.

Here I met again with Leroy, who got to the city one day before me and left one day before I. From Mui Ne I took another bus to reach the big city. As I mentioned before, buses are the most convenient way to travel. If you arrange it through your hotel/hostel the bus will come and pick you up from there. Usually I prefer traveling by train because I can read and stretch my legs whenever I want, but during my stay in Vietnam I got to enjoy the conversations that you can have in the bus. On the bus to HCMC I met a woman who is teaching English to staff of a resort in Mui Ne. She wasn't a teacher but she did this for the past years, traveling around and teaching locals basic English. She was finding these opportunities through  https://www.workaway.info/ , a website who connects travellers who like to travel and do volunteer work in the ...
