We are very excited to announce that Andrew and Alexa got engaged last night. We are so happy to be that much closer to having Alexa be 'officially' a part of our family and look forward to having her as our daughter-in-law. This trip has been great but their engagement tops all of it!
Getting back to typical blog posting, we started the day walking to the Adriatic. The weather has been mild so Jack decided to fit in one more swim. We're only about a 25 minute walk to the sea. The beach was connected to a hotel. No beach property is private in Croatia so we stopped there since it was the closest.. The water was beautiful and they had a bathroom to change in. We did pass one woman who had taken off her suit and was somewhat covered by her towel so I guess the bathroom as a changing room is even optional at a hotel beach.
We stopped in town after the swim for lunch and then took a tour to the Lim Fjord. It was a 2 hour cruise and was very pleasant. We chatted with a gentleman from Germany, a couple from England, and a woman from New Zealand. We briefly discussed politics. As we experienced previously with this topic, people from other countries are hesitant to say anything until we share that we are anti-Trump. After that you can see them become visibly relieved. The man from England shared that his 6 year old is very amused by Trump since in England trump means fart. We thought that was interesting and wondered why that isn't more widely know. They shared that they were surprised that Trump had a following and we had to agree it was confusing.
They were all very nice and so was the cruise. We haven't been to a fjord before and it was interesting seeing the rock formations on the sides of the sea. Some of the views included nude sunbathers taking advantage of the warm weather. It's funny that this doesn't surprise us any more. I will include a couple of pictures but they are from a distance.
We are thrilled with Andrew and Alexa's engagement
One last swim in the Adriatic
Lim fjord- We think the guide said a 007 film with Daniel Craig was filmed here. His accent was hard to understand at times.
The water is an amazing color

Pictures of the bar we had cocktails at the past 2 nights, from the boat it is a tiny place. Take note there aren't any railings.
It was a bit windy
Congratulations to Andrew and Alexa!
ReplyDeleteYay! Such exciting news! And your blogs have been fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! So excited. Champagne when you get back!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the lovely couple. You are truly blessed!! What a wonderful surprise to come home to!!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah!! Finally!! So happy for them and for you!! They do make a beautiful couple😍 Regarding Trump--we ran into quite a few Europeans from various countries during our travels since 2016 who not only disliked him, but were scared of him. We did not hear anyone supporting him. It is funny that his name means "fart" in England, but I can think of other things it means to me...
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Andrew and Alexa as well as for both of you. It was interesting to see the pictures of the bar from the water. I'm glad you are continuing to have pleasant experiences.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! So happy for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the happy couple🎉. Another Ward! The nudists seem comfortable in their "skin". The photos are amazing. I hope people don't drink too much or they end up in the water! (Helen)
