On a Whim Wm's world travels

Living on the Water

Freedom! No worries about the world events. No mirrors to see the imperfections. Minimal clothing. Bathing in the sea.

Amazing wonderful company to hang with. Food galore.

Quiet. Peaceful communion with the fish.

I want to do this again soon!

We are on this catamaran sailing from island to island with friends. The otter in the foreground is my Wm.

Fig

We say good-bye to our favorite restaurant in Split: Fig. The waitress gave us a hug! Such a feel-good place!

Everything was served with mache. How have I missed this lovely leafy greens piece of heaven?!

There is a fever for Game of Thrones here in Split.

We have never watched it.

From the balcony

I see a small orange rowboat. The gentleman rows standing up, ferrying people back and forth from this breakwater. He starts at 6:30 am and finishes way past sunset. Everyday.

On the rooftop a few buildings over, there are two baby gulls whose parent comes to feed them. They are exercising their wings, not ready to fledge yet.

And the amazing Swifts fly in all day long feeding their babies, well hidden under the roof gutters next door. (See Wm’s video)

Wm’s Wonderland

Filed under: General — cindy @ 12:18 am

Plitvice Lakes is filled with a series of lakes, boardwalks, a ferry, a train and hundreds of amazing waterfalls.

I almost didn’t get Wm home.

Pics will be uploaded soon. Prepare to be flooded with waterfalls!

Croatia! It is beautiful!

We arrived in time for the glorious sunset, renowned due to Hitchcock’s comment in 1964.

Our apartment is brand new, however, funnily, the lobby & elevator seem a bit war damaged.

We enjoyed Budapest, though a deep sadness fell over everything when a small tour boat hit a Viking cruiser and sunk in 7 seconds. It was a horrible stormy night. Wm and I listened to the thunder for hours. We heard the news the next morning. Seven people were saved out of 35, mostly South Korean families on tour.

A lovely concert in St. Stephen’s Basilica was dedicated to those families. They played Mozart’s Requiem.
