Finally the trip to the country I've been planning to visit in a long time happened, and I must say only Australia has been in my hit list longer than Croatia, and surprisingly 3 friends tagged along. Everyone knows how difficult is to plan a trip with more than one person, luckily this was more or less a dictatorial voyage, because only after the trip was planned was when my friends decided to come.  14 days in Croatia and 4 days in Istanbul was my schedule. Although compared to Canada, Croatia seems small, it is important to narrow your trip according to your interests and time available.  Some people like to travel in a fast pace, others super relaxed, and I guess I'm more or less in between.  In 14 days I knew I wanted to visit Zagreb, Zadar, Dubrovnik and some Island in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. As usual I used TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, Reddit and other online publications to do my research, just keeping in mind what is good for someone might not be so ...

Boys and girls, I had a lot of fun traveling to Croatia and Istanbul, and I'll try to post my review as soon as I can. I do have some work related travel coming up in the next couple of days, but I'm hoping to be able to post at least the first part before I leave. Until them I will leave you with some pics from both places, and check my Instagram account for more pictures.  The sunset is in Dubrovnik, the church in Zagreb and mosque in Istanbul.

The schedule is set and now I just have to wit a couple of more days to leave in my annual vacation.  Last year I got to visit the incredible country of Iceland, the year before Vietnam/Cambodia, and this year I've chosen Croatia and Turkey. Unfortunately as you might know, in North America we don't have too many vacation days, so this is going to be around 18 days long trip mostly in Croatia and ending in the fabulous city of Istanbul. I will try to post pictures via Instagram and facebook, and when I return I shall post a report and more pictures. Zagreb Plitvice Lakes National Park Zadar Split Hvar Korcula Dubrovnik Istanbul, Turkey and let me share one of the best videos of landing in Istanbul I've seen, I just hope I get to have similar view.
