Madrid, Spain

We left early this morning for a quick flight to Madrid via AirEuropa from Frankfurt Main (FRA).  The flight was easy and uneventful (which is great for a plane ride!). Once to MAD we hopped on the Airport Express Shuttle bus and headed into downtown!

Medulin, Croatia (Departure)

After checking out of our resort (and maybe some kicking and screaming to get us me in the car) it was time to enjoy our last day in Croatia.  Since we didn't fly out until 6:50 p.m. we had plenty of time to check out Medulin, another nearby village.


Well, we thought we had plenty of time...

Rovinj, Croatia

After a failed attempt at Kamenjak we decided to head north to the town of Rovinj, the "Blue Pearl of the Adriatic," to see what we could find there....and we are so glad we did!


Rovinj was absolutely beautiful!  The people were friendly, there were tons of restaurants, boats in the harbor, shops in alleyways...the sights, sounds, smells...it was incredible!

Prementura, Croatia (Kamenjak National Park)

On the recommendation of our waiter last night we headed about 15 minutes away to the town of Prementura to check out another one of Croatia's famous national parks, Kamenjak.


We were so excited to check this place out!  Take a look at the pics and you'll see why....

Brijuni National Park, Croatia


We arrived in Brijuni shortly before lunch.  The boat ride was maybe 10 min. but the kids loved it!
