ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
We have been traveling for more than three years now and we have learned a lot about how to make ourselves comfortable wherever we go. Our arrival activities have increased over time as we’ve learned what makes us comfortable.
Next stop, Trieste. Our European train trip took us from Ljubljana to Trieste. and then on to Bologna through Venice. We decided to spend a few nights in Trieste because we had never been there and it broke up the long train rides.
Ljubljana (loo·blee·aa·nuh) Slovenia is a hidden gem in Europe. We decided to visit because we were trying to break up our train ride from Zagreb to Bologna. We were not disappointed.
Our Croatian cruise ended in the coastal town of Split, so we spent a few days there enjoying the ancient port before moving on. Apparently, all the trains from Split go through Zagreb, so did we.
Taking a cruise through the islands on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia has long been on our bucket list. Our leisurely week-long island hopping cruise was definitely one of the highlights of our summer.
