A summer break?


My vacation started this week and when I arrived, it became obvious that my internet connection is a bit unsatisfactory. :)

It’s there but it’s so slow and not really dependable that it seems now even if I wanted to blog during my vacation (I always think I would but it’s usually the opposite), it will be a rather unnerving process for me so I might not indulge in it often.

I do plan on writing down my ideas so when I come back to Zagreb, I have many posts in the making.


In the meantime, I’ll leave you with some of the photos I took while here:

My usual place on the beach:


I’m learning how to make granola for breakfast (it tastes much better than one would expect):


And general view from my place on the coast:

    1. Thanks Undina! I'll do my best to take many pics and post them when my connection allows for it (it took me ages to get those three up).

    1. Parfumista, it's not Istria, but it's not far from it either. :) It's the next part of the Adriatic coast to south, Kvarner. And the landmass you see on the last photo is the island of Krk.
      You should go back and visit Croatian coast some more. ;)

    Love and hugs! (And by the way, whatcha reading?)

    1. Suzanne, taking into consideration all the requests for photos, I'm taking some in order to be able to post them. :)
      And next week we are probably going to be seeing some friends a bit souther along the coast so that should be a good opportunity for some more. ;)
      As for my toes, I went to get them done with Shellac so I don't have to worry about them my whole vacation (except for the fact that I can't change their color).

      Ha! Interesting you should ask what I'm reading. :) I went through the first 4 books in the Amelia Peabody series (by Elizabeth Peters) and now I'm following in the same Victorian tone, with Alexia Tarabotti series by Gail Carriger. I am so happy I discovered G. Carriger! I'm having so much fun! And I'm finally reading steam-punk! :D

      Both Amelia and Alexia are strong, stubborn women and it's so much fun reading their dialogues. The Amelia Peabody series is archaelogical adventures in Egypt (at the turn of the century) and Alexia's steam-punk is late 19th century.
      Ok, I need to finish this comment so I can go read. ;)

      Hugs to you!

    3. Oh, please do! :) You'll have so much fun.
