Today was our last day of this trip, and whilst we have had a wonderful time, we are all glad to be heading home.  Today we visited a small town called Trogir, which was filled with small alleyways and quaint shops. I think that I was able to enjoy the town more today because I […]

Kornati national park: We started our day by traversing the sea, bearing witness to Kornati national park. There were 2 pit stops displaying vastly different environments. One barren of human settlements while the other brimmed with life. Despite it being promoted as an area that is untouched, the barren island has become a hotspot for […]

Today we travelled from our hotel in Punat, on the island of Krk, to our new hotel further south in the town of Biograd na Moru. We prepared for the bus journey to be long and tedious, so Miss Holland was kind enough to come up with a game for everyone – numberplate bingo (each […]

Yesterday we went to Park Učka. We took the coach to get to the top and the roads where very curvy and the view was spectacular looking over Rijeka. We hiked around the park and the trail was roughly 6.5km long and there was an elevation change of 400m. The park was very beautiful with […]

Today we visited Slovenia. The tour began with us taking a small train into the extensive cave system of Postojna where we examined the stalagmites and stalactites which have formed over millions of years. Our guide introduced us to the olms which are one of the few species which can live in the complete dark […]

Today was genuinely such a brilliant experience, I’ve always been a fan of aquariums and aquatic life, and so being given the opportunity to visit one on the trip was a great privilege, there are obviously ethical considerations when visiting a place holding animals in tanks, for our own amusement. However the location that we […]

Hiking on the island of Cres and Vulture sanctuary visit  Having had a storm the day before it was really windy and 10 degrees colder than yesterday. We proceeded with a one hour drive to the ferry, picking up our legendary guide Boris on the way then headed over to the island of Cres. We […]

Today we visited King Zvonomir High School situated on the island of Krk. When we arrived, we were greeted by 5 students our age and the Headteacher Gordija along with the teachers Elena and Jelena. We first joined an English lesson where we debated the controversial issue whether it was sometimes necessary to beat your children; […]

Boat Day I am a person who usually enjoys boats and swimming in jersey, so it came as no surprise that I enjoyed today in Croatia, the weather was very nice and we were surrounded by beautiful landscapes. I would say the main point I took from this was how much the weather has an […]

Rijeka –  Park Lavora and Trsat Castle Park Lavora is the vision of volunteers from the Kamenjak Hiking club who, along with local volunteers, have turned a derelict city landfill into a lovely forest park.  It is one of only 2 green spaces in the city and work is ongoing to reforest and maintain the […]
