Day 178: Nudebathing Dubrovnik

Posted by 山 him
An old boat sailing pass Dubrovnik

We were at a nudist bay on Lokrum island just outside Dubrovnik. The views were amazing (c’mon people, I’m talking about the sea…) and the water so clear you could see 15ft below. Everybody was just happy to let it hang (including myself). Being bare all for all, the area was much less crowded and way more laid back than the island’s other swimming holes. You could easily enjoy this piece of paradise in your own space, with absolutely nothing on. Liberate from social customs and swim free. Continued 繼續看…

We spent a few nights here just to kick back hoping to chill and swim in the Adriatic, but the weather was disappointing – got hit with a rainstorm on Thurs, and though there was sun yesterday it was on and off. Too many boats and a little rough. I can think of many better places around Croatia’s Dalmatian coast for a swim. Continued 繼續看…

Day 172: Who says Croatia is great?

Posted by 霏 her

It’s getting worse. I didn’t expect Croatia would be like this: unfriendly & uninterested people, as if you are just another tourist face that they can’t be bothered. And is it some effects from ex-Yugoslavia? People here are ineffecient and not smart, from day one we’ve been spending time in queues for paying accommodation, buying bus ticket etc. Continued 繼續看…
