Nick Cave

I never miss the opportunity to experience Nick Cave live. Especially in a phenomenal venue like this.

Love him.

Cycling in Croatia

Cycling the Parenzana trail is a great experience.

Visiting some historic villages ...

... and cycling a lovely trail ...

with plenty of places to take a break :-)

A short break

We used a long weekend and went climbing, cycling, sight-seeing and relaxing ... to Croatia.

 

We stumbled upon a 6-th century church...

... admired a 2000-year-old foot...

... and had lunch with a view of a 2000-year-old arena.

 

 The scenery was fantastic, as always in this time of the year.

 

 

Advent in Zagreb

This year we finally managed to see the famous advent in Zagreb. The decorations and festivities are indeed wonderful, but I was surprised how damaged the place still is following the earthquake in 2020... Plenty of galleries and museums closed, and the cathedral as well.

I'll start with the most magical place - the etherically decorated tunnel. Just stunning!

 

Is this the most stylish postbox or what?

And the cathedral towers...

Action

We used the lovely days for some cycling, climbing and kayaking.

 

And visiting some lovely medieval chapels.

Late summer

Enjoying the last days of summer ...

I didn't take my camera, which I later regretted. Of course.

A as away

I haven't been posting much recently mainly because we were so occupied with the renovation works still going on in our house. We've got a new roof, we've spent endless hours waterproofing the terrace and ... we actually managed to squeeze in some vacation!

We've had our share of bad weather - just like everyone else being in Europe this summer. But we also had a bit of sun:
