vrsi 2014

Update: For those who won my crochet heart tags, I'm so sorry I'm so late sending them...unfortunately my husband lost two relatives in a matter of couple of days and left for the funerals....it left me out of it for a couple of days. I hope you understand. All will be send this week!

Hello!

And I'm back! Wish we could have stayed longer but grateful for the 2 weeks we had! :)

We stayed in Vrsi Mulo with my aunt (who lives in Canada and comes for the whole summer in her home in Vrsi Mulo). Isn't it just gorgeous!! Her house is the third up from the beach...1 minute walk people!! My Baba (grandma who is 92 years old and still going strong, she's got an older sister and brother too!) was born in Vrsi so when ever I go somewhere with my aunt I get introduced to family I am not aware of....it seems I'm related to half the locals there! :)

The beach is a mix of pebbles and rock and it's clean and beautiful!

I know I've got the skinniest kids!! LOL! Both my husband and I were skin and bone when we were kids. Don't have that problem anymore! ;)

My oldest is giving the thumbs up...the youngest is standing like he owns the beach! lol!

I wore this gorgeous blue nail polish by Essie most of the time called lapiz of luxury but I assure you it looks so much different in real life...here in the photo it looks much brighter than it really is.

I ate so many figs....I lost count!

PEEK-A-BOO!

My aunt took us out for pizza at this hotel/restaurant called Vukić which happens to be owned by my mother's best childhood friend and her husband(they were inseparable) so it was great meeting her and her husband. Their hotel is right on the beach...I don't know why I didn't take a photo of it so I found one online.

We had yummy pizza, ćevapi and fries! The kids told me to leave a good tip so that should tell ya something about the food and service! :)

I'll be sharing more pictures of our time in Nin soon!

Have a great day!

Life's a Beach!

Hello! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Here we go...continuing with my Croatia month! :)

The beach...ahhhhh the beach! :) When we go to Nin and Vrsi Mulo (where we stay with my aunt....Vrsi is about a 10 minute drive from Nin...my grandmother is from Vrsi) we like to go to the local beaches and not the touristy ones...and I suggest if visiting Croatia find out where the local beaches are and check them out.

This beach here where you can see my feet!! LOL is the beach where my mom as a child went to...I LOVE it...it's a sandy beach but in the water it's a mix of rock and sand.

Nin is also known for it's medicinal mud (peloid). It's located near the sandy Queen's beach and has been tested by thousands of people and is organized by one of Zadar's Health Institutions. It  treat various health issues such as rheumatic diseases, spinal deformalities, female infertility, skin disorders.....

My family had a go!! :) My husband couldn't get over how SMOOTH his skin was...he kept telling me to feel him up! LOL

I found this photo here! LOL my family wasn't as generous with the mud as this one! :)

This beach (below) is in Vrsi Mula (where my aunt is...she's three house up from this beautiful beach!!)...this is a pebble stone beach. (my two boys - Jakov the little shrimp standing in the water and Marko sitting next to him).

Mia jumped off this little pier about a million times! :)

We found this little treasure near the beach in Vrsi...Church of St. Jacob from the 11th century...my youngest was very excited because his name is Jakov (Jacob in English).

And just down from this beautiful church is a beach called the Coast of St. Jacob....Jakov thinks he owns the joint! :)

Hope you enjoyed this post...of coarse there's more to come! :) And there'll be a pop quiz at the end...just kidding...maybe a giveaway! :)
