Croatia (Trip taken in March)



We took a one-night vacation to Croatia and stayed on the Adriatic Coast on the Island of Krk.

On Friday morning, we left Pápa and headed to Croatia. We crossed the border into Croatia and immediately found ourselves on a toll road. There are no vignettes in this non EU, non Schengen country. Instead, there are numerous toll roads, which luckily for us accepted Forint (Hungarian currency) because we did not yet have any Kuna (Croatian currency).

We crossed over a very large bridge to get over to the island. The journey to the town of Punat, where our hotel was located, reminded us of our journey to Sorrento, Italy. The town of Punat itself, also reminded us of Sorrento.

Our hotel, Hotel Park Punat, was right on the water and surrounded by olive trees. We were able to park in the lot directly in front of the hotel and check in without any problems. The three star hotel was clean and comfortable. Our "economy" room was small but nice.

Unfortunately the weather was not hot enough to go swimming, but we still enjoyed the warmer temperatures. We spent most of our time walking up and down along the water. The water off the Adriatic Coast is beautifully clear and we were able to see to rocks on the sea floor.

When we booked our room, to chose to go with "full board". Full board means that all meals are included in your room rate. The cost of the room was not expensive, so we did not expect great food. Fortunately, we were wrong and the buffets offered for lunch, dinner and breakfast, were all outstanding.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the sun, clear water and delicious meals.
