Oh, how wrong I […]
Day Sailing the Dalmatian Islands
I’m on a road trip along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and after two days of being (mostly) good while we drove and walked around old towns, I was finally rewarded with a day sailing trip to the Dalmatian Islands. If you’ve been following along on my travels, you know that I love to swim. My mom […]
