Josip and I have always wanted to experience traveling Croatia in the summer time and truly see all that it has to offer. So we took advantage of our time off this summer and made our way to the Croatian coast. We started in Split and hired a car for our month long holiday. Josip [...]

The long awaited snow! (Zamrsje)

Posted by: Melanie3rd January, 2006

The snow in Karlovac was just beautiful especially where our grandparents live in Zamrsje. Josip and I managed to go for a really long nice walk in the snow. Man it was hard work and I was so hot with all the snow clothes we had on. We actually spotted six deer’s while we were [...]

Christmas in Karlovac (Croatia)

Posted by: Melanie25th December, 2005

We made our way by the ever reliable bus service to Josips grandparent’s house in Karlovac. When we got there we were still a little disappointed to see that there was no snow but it definitely was chilly. As usual our adventure in Karlovac always starts off with some food and hugs from [...]

Well here we are again in Croatia! But this time we got to see a few different faces and places. My dad’s sister Anna moved from Australia with her husband and three kids about 5 years ago to come and make a new life in a coastal town called Novi Vinodolski. I was really excited [...]

We also got out of the village for a day and managed to see the Karlovac city area thanks to Branimira (Josip’s uncle Steve’s girlfriend). She took us to her house where she lives with her parents, her son, her brother and his family. They all have there own level or apartment but have the [...]

Part 2: Croatia – Karlovac

Posted by: Melanie20th September, 2005
