Island of Pag

• We departed from our meeting point in Split, to Zadar, a historical Dalmatian town with a modern new highlight: the Sea Organ.
• Had some free time in Zadar and then an hour’s drive north to the island of Pag where stayed for two nights at the Boskinac Hotel & Winery, featured in Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.”
• The next day, we visit an ancient olive grove on the northern-most part of the island, for an olive oil tasting and guided tour of the estate.

Opatija

• Enjoyed a leisurely walking tour around the seaside promenade, main park and old Austrian villas of this pleasant resort town – a favorite of European royalty from 170 years ago.
• During our full-day excursion to Croatia’s “Tuscany,” we discovered 6th-century basilicas to visit, mosaics to marvel over, cobblestone streets to scamper and truffles to hunt!

Ljubljana

• We head further north into Slovenia, where we explored that Postojna caves and made a photo stop of Predjama Castle.
• We arrived in Ljubljana late this afternoon and checked into Hotel Cubo for the next two nights.
• Later that evening, the WOWees got a surprise.
