Lapad - Tuesday 30th of April

Oh this week in Croatia was soooo much of a holiday!

And to think that we even planned to rebook our holiday a few days before departure due to the bad weather forecasts in our weather apps. Fortunately, we have not allowed ourselves to be fooled by the modern means of our time. Nevertheless we just went to Dubrovnik according to plan, because let's face it, in the past you didn't know in advance what the weather would be like and it changes day by day. We said to each other 20 times this week; Imagine if we had canceled this!

We had a more than fantastic week, our stay in the suburb of Lapad was a perfect choice. The Croatian coast surprised us with its natural beauty. And Dubrovnik is incredibly beautiful, no wonder it is often crowded because everyone wants to visit this ancient UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On the last day we flew back to Rotterdam only in the evening, so we still had a whole day to enjoy the sun, the sea and that nice summer feeling together.

Coffee at the Tenis Klub and another afternoon in Lapad bay. Henk made a daily drawing of my tennis court photo for our holiday book. We made another work of art from stones, things we found on the beach (little waste, the coast is remarkably clean here) and dried pine twigs. We seriously considered to bring the lovable face of our Lapad Figure home with us. Wouldn't look out of place on a table at home, hahaha...

Joy in June.

Tuesdays with Liam Novi. Always great fun!

Thursdays at work. Flowerdays and summer feeling.

Weekend with friends.

Starting every morning with breakfast in the garden and dinners in the backyard every night.

The past few weeks felt like summer, high temperatures, lots of sunshine and mainly relaxing in the shade.
