    Just come back from an amazing week in Croatia. Coming back here with that shitty weather makes me a bit sad though.


    THIB! How great is Dubrovnik?
  2. Well, thanks for enlightening me so that I know!
  3. Hi Kieran! That is COMPLETLY amazing. You were definitely right.

    As I told you on the other day, we were in Cavtat which is about 35 minutes to Dubrovnik by bus. We went there twice. On Sunday, we visited the town, taking photos of the old town from the inside. That was amazing, very beautiful since the weather was perfect. It was just a bit hot, and when we decided to go back to our hotel, we became aware that we did not know where the bus stop was, since it was not the same than the one to go to Dubrovnik. We were a bit lost, climbed something like 1,000 steps, just to go back down... We were completly exhausted, but happy since it was very beautiful.

    We went back to Dubrovnik on Tuesday, and we walked around the battlements of the old city. I think I've made amazing pictures from there, I might post one or two here. It was even more hot than on Sunday, but that was an amazing experience. One of the most beautiful city I ever visited.


    @Olof, you're welcome, happy to make you discover a bit of French language
  4. French is a language where I don't have much of a clue. I only study Swedish, English, Spanish and German in school
  5. "Only" but it's quite a lot still you know I just know French, English and Spanish. I realized this week I wish I could speak Croatian too (since my mother speaks Croatian perfectly, I think I explained it before).
  6. One day I'm gonna learn Italian.
  7. Sounds like you had a great holiday! Where did you go on the other days?

    When I went to Dubrovnik, it was roasting, but the heat was just enough, occasionally too hot though. The old town is absoutely gorgeous, so much history there.

    The buses are terrible in Dubrovnik though, they just all barge on, no queue at all. Me & my dad were really confused, thinking it was rude and all.
  8. That is really similar to Spanish actually I think. I went to Italy twice. Last time was to see a friend who worked there as an au-pair, in June, but I went there in 2009. I was near Bari, where my godfather comes from. My cousins had Italian lessons there, I went with them, and I noticed that almost every Grammar rule is the same in Spanish than in Italian. And the vocabulary is similar too.
  9. Yeah they're similar so I should be able to learn some Italian
  10. Oh yes that was great for sure! I agree with you on the buses, that was kind of a terrible organization actually...

    We took the time to visit Cavtat on Saturday, Monday and Thursday. It's a tiny village, but there are many beautiful things to see there. We stayed at our hotel when it was really too hot though, and went to the sea or the swimming pool.

    On Wednesday, we visited the "Elpahite Islands" (Kolocep, Sipan and Lopud). They are absolutely amazing, but very different. The first one is almost uninhabitated, at least that's what it seems, The second one was beautiful, but it looked like a tourist trap a little. The last one was really amazing, a mix between the first two ones, really beautiful.
  11. I never went to Cavtat actually, I think we thought about it at one point, but never in the end. Did you see the Hilton Imperial which was right next to the entrance of the Old Town? That's where I stayed - lovely hotel, went there back sometimes when we couldn't be bothered with soaring heat.

    I visited Lokrum, which is a 10 minute boat journey from the Old Town. Quite boring, but some bits were interesting.

    Good to hear you enjoyed it though!
  12. Off to play some golf now, see ya!
