Hi there, It's been long since I posted. The reason is a long period of bad luck and misfortune after happy vocation in Croatia. First, I got seriously ill (kind of virus with temperature and persistent coughing) just after I'd experienced strong stress. The problem was that I got two new hot/cold water meteres put in our toilet shortly after vocation. They cracked when we were at dacha. We received a phone call from our neighbour who said that you'd already flooded all flats underneath. Can you imagine my state while drining a car back home??? Well, my illness started right on the following day doubled by strong pain in my spine. However, the good news is that today (one week later), the repairing we launched at dacha before our vocation,with Marina and Kostya keeping eye on the repairmen, has been over and we had I new kitchen furniture put in it. Despite my illness, I cleaned up after all this and now we really enjoy bright orange colours of our newly looking kitchen at

This place in Croatia is under UNESKO protection.. It's really unique and worth visiting. Several emerald lakes connected with rivers and waterfalls make it really unforgettable. See and download the full gallery on posterous

We really got tired after this trip but it's worth it. The lakes are connected with each other with rivers, streams and waterfalls. which makes the whole area absolutely unique and gorgeous. The water in lakes is cristall clear and full of big tame fish and ducks. The colour is emerald because of a strange combination of water moss and local soil. We took one boat trip and walked for 3 hours around the place.Have a look at some picks...

Hi there, Our vocation in Croatia seems to meet our expectations after so much heat in Moscow. Here the climate is very mild with day temperatures slightly over 30C and pretty cool and refreshing evenings and nights. More importantly, the sea is so welcoming and warm (24-25C) that even Slava swims in it with flippers. It's really a welcome change after so many days of non stop heatwave in Russia. Our hotel is good and all inclusive, so we don't need to take care of food and other basic things. The only problem is the internet connection, which is charged and is available only at the hotel lobby. Croatia is quite an expensive country, which is going to join EU in a few years. We've been to one trip already to the Krk island and the town of Opatia where A. Chekhov and S. Esenin stayed in local hotels. It's really beautiful and welcoming. After that we visied a Frankestian monastery with old manuscripts of Bible and ancient icons. Have a look at some piks...
