@laddi.dangon, thank you for the wonderful, impromptu music on the #bcferries tonight! Loved your big smile, too. 😊

A recent paddle, the first in too many years! Love the water. #SurreyBC #Canada #iphoneX
Make sure your #sound is on for this one!

After #wandering #happily around the #Römerberg for a while, taking in a #firefighting demonstration, and starting to feel the need for #food and #drink, we found this #quartet playing away on a busy #sidestreet.
.
Stayed and watched and #listened to them for several minutes, maybe fifteen or so, before #hunger got the better of us. Really felt like we were in #Germany, listening to them!
...especially when they had to compete with the #churchbells #clanging away just up the #street. Ha ha!
.
And yes, of course I #bought one of their #CDs. Asked which one I should get, and the #accordion player on the left recommended a #JSBach collection.
.
Now reunited with the house #computer with a #CD player in it, it’s time to give it a spin!
.
Really #love #audio #souvenirs. 🎼🎶🎵.

On our last day in #Split, #Croatia, the #sun came out and we went for an extended #walk around the place we were staying, which is in the bedroom community of #Stobreč.
.
On the other side of the #hill we climbed, it turned out there was a wonderful #clifftop #view of the #Adriatic #Sea!
.
The #weather for our stay there was frequently #chilly and #rainy, much like #Vancouver in #June. We were happy to see the sun whenever it did decide to peek out and let us see better just how pretty this place is! This view didn’t disappoint, to be sure!

Didn’t love the view of this huge #crane. However, the #evening #lighting on it seemed like a good idea... at least it made it #interesting, instead of just #ugly!

(Also: #Experimenting with a new-ish #app, seeing what it can/can’t do).

The changing #colours as the #morning #sun bounced off the #ocean and the #forests were gorgeous this lovely #June morning.

Loved our #trip to #Europe! It’s also great to be #home. 💙

Dear #airbnb #staircase, nothing personal, but we will not miss you. At all.
.
#Frankfurt, #Germany, however, We would love to visit you again! #aufwiedersehen
A *very* rare share of a pic of myself. We went for a #walk in old #Frankfurt, and discovered a massive #street #festival of all the emergency services here! I used to work for #RedCross in #Canada, so I was fascinated to learn about their programs and services here in #Germany.
.
This #emergency #response #vehicle of theirs is #amazing. I’m so happy I got to check it out, and swap stories with their #rep, who is also a #lifeguard, like I used to be until #illness knocked me out of it.
.
What a wonderful day. #Grateful for little #surprises!
#Sunset over Porto Montenegro provided a beautiful backdrop to our delicious #dinner at @al.posto.giusto.

This is a #painting, hanging on the wall of the 7th floor #lobby of the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, outside their #Elafiti #Restaurant.
.
It reminded me of one of my #favourite #TV shows when I was a very little girl: Speed Racer, lol! What’s more, we didn’t own a #car then, and my parents didn’t even yet have their driver’s licenses! Funny, eh?

Hills of #Croatia, as seen from our #Lufthansa flight shortly after departure from #Dubrovnik #International #Airport. #Beautiful, #rugged #country!
.
Some parts we were in, especially the inland #toll #highway between #Ploče and #Split, reminded me very much of the #Coquihalla Highway, as well as the #Kamloops area in #BC.
.

The #Dubrovnik #International #Airport is in such a #beautiful #location, I had to give this #snapshot from the window of our #plane as we turned from the #taxiway onto the #runway its own post.
.
We got a lot of #rain and #cloud during our visit to both #Croatia and #Montenegro, but we also were treated to spells of brilliant #sunshine! In between, we witnessed numerous #light displays as the #sun and #clouds jockeyed for dominance.
.
#iphonex #nofilters #caption made with #Adobe #Sparkpost; frame added with #Google #Snapseed. #Nature did the important part!
#Dubrovnik #Airport is very much under a massive expansion #construction #project. It was quite something to see #asphalt rollers working away right beside our #airplane as we reached the ##beginning of the #runway!
.
Hope lots more #tourists come your way!
.
Thank you for your #hospitality, #Croatia and #Montenegro! We loved visiting your #countries!
We loved visiting #Dubrovnik, #Croatia. This #photo was taken from the #OldCityWalls, looking across the #harbour towards #Fortress #Lovrijenac.
.
We thoroughly enjoyed our #gameofthrones #tour of the fortress and the #oldcity with @majic.walk.tours.dubrovnik! Thank you. Hvala!
.
On to #Frankfurt, next!

At last, the #sun came out, and we can finally see #Porto #Montenegro it’s all its #glory!
.
Love the #ocean.
Went for a #lazy #stroll along the #waterfront today, then meandered inland a little bit before returning to the #promenade.
.
Spotted this little #beauty in someone’s driveway. Love the colour, too: just the same bright #yellow as my childhood #piano teacher’s #VW #Beetle!
.
#Holiday #tip: sometimes, just go for a #walk! You never know what you might spot. #Tours and #touristsites are great, but so is just #wandering.

Shifting #light against the #mountains as they fall into the #Adriatic #Ocean, near #Kotor, #Montenegro. #boatcruise #catamaran #nofilters #iphonex
Did you know? (I didn’t!) #Montenegro was given its name by #Italians who first saw a dark #mountain covered with tall #trees. Monte=mountain Negro (pronounced “nay-grow”)=black, or “Black Mountain. It has a different #local #name, but I can’t even guess how to spell it! .
Also just learned: just like #Vancouver, you can #ski in the #mountains in the #morning, and #lounge on the #beach in the #afternoon!
.
I keep hoping the #sun will come out... ☀️
#Quiz: Recognize this place?
.
#Hint: It’s in #Dubrovnik, #Croatia, but in #fiction it has another identity.
#View from #highonahilltop! #OldCity #Dubrovnik #Croatia #Unesco #Ancient
I love spotting the #unexpected...
.
Here, right behind a #bus #stop I used several times, I #finally noticed a #staircase to... well, #nowhere! .
Wonder what used to be up there? 🤔

#Dubrovnik, #Croatia #seemorewalking #walk
Except for the #palmtree, this feels SO much like #home! Very #westcoast. Oh, wait... this IS the #west #coast... except it’s in #Dubrovnik, #Croatia, on the #eastern side of the #AdriaticSea, instead of on the west coast of #Canada on the eastern side of the #PacificOcean.
.
Not so very different after all, even almost half a world away. 💙.
