Summer is indeed a break for teachers and time to get away from the students and have some much needed and deserved rest. This summer I have had the opportunity to take two trips one at the end of June to Croatia with some friends and another in mid-July to Denmark to visit family.
Croatia
Is a lovely little country with some very friendly people, gorgeous scenery and beautiful clear waters. I joined 4 friends and their children to adventure out to Croatia's largest island, Krk and stayed in the small town of Punat. It was truly a time of rest and relaxation. We rented a van and drove to Croatia with a stop in Austria to visit a chocolate factory. Travelling through 4 countries in 9 hours!
Pictures say much more than words:
Day 1: Czech Republic --> Austria --> Slovenia --> Croatia

Day 2: Welcome to the island of Krk
We stayed in a small town Punat outside the city Krk in a lovely apartment flat with a lovely garden surrounded by olive trees.

Just a note that this is the colour of the water, no altering of the photo needed! |

| Do you see the vulture? My camera died just after this shot and I missed it flying |

| Travelling with a group of soccer fans and could not miss a match of the world cup - lucky the boat had a TV |
Day 6 Rainy Day - Relax, build a fort and read
Day 7: Time to head back home, with a quick stop at Lake Bled in Slovenia

Was an amazing week and I was blessed to join this group of hardworking missionaries on a much needed restful vacation.
