| Flag of Croatia and the Croatian coast. |
Over the Christmas and New Year holiday, my brother Tom went with a group of friends to Croatia. He wrote, "I’m having a really good time here in Croatia. It is extremely beautiful and the weather has been good so far. I’ve jumped into the Adriatic Sea twice. It’s a bit cold but very, very clean and refreshing. Tonight I was in a play and also did a big musical performance. We have been very busy here doing lots of activities and tomorrow is a one mile race."
Here is Tom's report and a few of his beautiful photos of the trip.
I spent Christmas and the New Year in Croatia in the charming village of Orasac just north of Dubrovnik in a beautiful luxury hotel on the cliffs above the Adriatic Sea. The sea is extremely clear with amazing views of the many islands. The coast is rocky with steep cliffs and a few small harbors. Many buildings are made of stone surrounded by olive trees and rock walls. I hiked up the steep hillside above the hotel and had great views of the Adriatic Sea. I recommend visiting Croatia in the off season when there are practically no tourists.
