Buisness/Pleasure trip to the Adriatic.

So a friend on FB recently tagged me in a post with this image in it. She was curious if it was anywhere near us. It was nowhere near us but luckily we had a trip planned south to the Adriatic. 

We actually had a trip planned to go scout out a conference toom to have an upcoming Evangelistic meeting in June so it worked out perfectly. 

On the way down we stopped just of the E71 Hwy to have lunch in a little village; the view was beautiful and peaceful. 

By the time we got into the hotel the view was amazing! The colors in the sky were amazing and even though I've skies like this before, the sea made it even more amazing. 

Let me tell you, staying on the coast off-season is awesome, we got a 5 star hotel room for $40! It was a wonderfully peaceful stay and it came with breakfast! 

The next morning was a little rainy but the view was still amazing. Split is one of the most beautiful cities in Croatia and also home of Deocletians Palace from the turn of the fourth century AD. Interesting fact about Roman Empreor Deocletian: He killed more Christians during hsi reign that Nero did.

The next day we drove up toward Klis to get a bird's-eye view of Split and it was just beautful. Past the city of Split is some of the 1100 islands that belong to Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. 

The next day we decided to travel to the island Brač and see the Zlatni Rat. We took a ferry across and Split was beautiful from the ferry. 

Once we were on the island the views were amazing even with all the cloud cover. 

Look at that view! The sun shining through the clouds was breath-taking and I took way too many photos!

We fianlly made it to Zlatni Rat and we were not disappinted, a little chilly but totally worth it. To tell you the truth, I'm always amazed by the beauty of Croatia. We've been here 22 years and I'm still amazed. I feel extremely priviledged to be given the chance to live in such an amazing country. 

The tip of Zlatni Rat changes depending on the winds; turning either to the left or right. 

This one is just because I love my huney. 

It was so interesting that all the trees grew up leaning because of the winds. Really cool. 

While we waited for the ferry we walked around Supetar a little and the views we beautiful.

The sunrise the day we left was unbelieveable and such a nice going away present. 

On the way home, back to the norther part of Croatia we met with a little surprise. Apparently it snowed in the mountains while we were at the sea. 

I didn't know a work trip could be so much fun, what a wonderful time we had.
