Slovenia was absolutely incredible, we definitely want to go back to that beautiful country. But it was time to pack up and move on to our next and last destination on this trip: Venice, Italy. We crossed the border by private shuttle. We were actually quite sad to leave this hotel and city in Slovenia, we could have stayed a few more days here for sure. Jaime had been to several cities in Italy before including Venice, but this was my first time. It was a defin...

After an amazing time in Croatia, we were very excited to take a train across the border into Slovenia! Another first time country for the both of us. We took the bus to the train station in Zagreb and enjoyed walking around a bit there. Then hopped on the train for the few hour ride into Ljubljana.

The most interesting thing about the ride to Split is that part of the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina crosses into Croatia en route. So we did actually have to leave the bus, go through border ...

I am exhausted just re-lving this day in my head, but I am confident in saying that we experienced a great amount of this city in a day. Now that's not to say we would not come back here, Dubrovnik is so incredibly awesome it would take several days to truly experience all it has to offer, but given our time, we definitely made the most of it. We met with our group at breakfast at our hotel, and even though there were busses to take you into Old Town, we opted t...
