Sometimes, all you need is to open your eyes...

Hello!
Nekoliko dana prošlog tjedna sam provela s mužem i djecom u prekrasnoj Opatiji, kolijevci hrvatskog turizma. Opatija je turističko središte tijekom cijele godine, a odiše raskošnom ljepotom nekih prošlih (možda sretnijih?) vremena... Naravno, kao i svaki put kad dođem, Opatija je "proplakala" čim me vidjela te je sva tri dana padala kiša... Ali neka, ima neke čari i u olovnim oblacima i tihoj kiši...

Last week I've spent a few days with my hausband and children in Opatija, famous croatian touristic pearl in north Adriatic Sea. Opatija exudes a luxurious beauty of some past (maybe happier?) times. Of course, each time I come, Opatija starts to "cry" so we had three days of rain. But, there is some magic in clouds and silent rain...

Opatija je poznata po predivnim vilama i hotelima te raskošnim parkovima.
Opatija is famous for it's fabulous villas and hotels and beautiful parks.

Villa Angiolina, izgrađena 1844. označava početak razvoja elitnog turizma.

Na samo kilometar od Opatije, smjestilo se preslatko ribarsko mjesto Volosko. Evo par sličica njegovog labirinta stepenica:

Only one kilometer away from Opatija, you can enjoy in nice fishing village called Volosko. Here are some pictures of it:

 

I tako, dok sanjam o nekim dalekim zemljama, na samo sat i pol od kuće krije se pravo turističko blago... Ponekad je potrebno samo otvoriti oči, zar ne?

Nadam se da ste uživali u ovom malom putovanju...
Pusa, Ilina

And, while I dream of some distant countries, only hour and a half away from my home, hides a true turistic treasure...Sometimes all you need is to open your eyes, don't you think so?

Hope you enjoyed this little journey...
Love, Ilina

  4. ja sam valjda jedini stanovnik hrvatske koji nije bio u opatiji. iako me privlači, jako me privlači. jednostavno, nikad nekako nije bilo prilike, povoda, motiva. a katkad je dovoljno baš to, imati želju. tako da, opatijo, some day... :)

  7. Opatija, bila sam jednom davno i znam da tamo postoji Hotelijerski fakultet isti taj koji ja studiram u Beogradu~~))
    Inace cela Istra mi je krasna, govorim Istra jer sam samo tamo i bila.
    U Dalmaciji nisam bila, tako da ne znam te lepote.
    Volim Pulu, Rovinj, a tek Rijeku.Tamo kada sam god bila osecala sam se kao da sam miljama daleko od svog doma, jer mi ni blizu slicnost nije sa necim nama bas blizim.
    Post je divan, a mora i da bude jer je tamo sve lepo!!

  8. Uvijek mi je zanimljivo gledati Opatiju "tuđim očima". Nama kojima je svaki dan na dohvat ruke nije nimalo bajna, iako sam uvjerena da je nekad davno uistinu tako bilo. Super je što si se i u kišnim danima lijepo provesti

  34. The real solution to America's school problems is school choice -- vouchers -- something that Mayor Emanuel will never mention for fear of offending unions. Shopping by internet is a comfortable way than to go markets and turn around. In a pan stir fry the entire ingredient listed above, half cook only and set aside.

  35. One of her most popular products are her organic vegetable seedlings, especially the
    tomatoes, which are cool-weather varieties that do well
    on California's foggy Central Coast. When you're preparing
    your planting area, just mix the soil with about three inches
    of organic compost. In some cases, the quantity of materials for making
    compost in the amounts desired (an annual layer 2 inches deep across the garden) cannot be obtained.

    Another benefit of rubber mulch versus typical mulch is its

    burning of the leaves and the russeting of fruit.
    Native plants or at least plants adapted to similar conditions as your region will have a better chance of growing
    and thriving. Subtle gardening themes act upon the subconscious, and merely
    give the observer a pleasant feeling.

  40. If one innocently applies an insufficient amount of sealer on a very porous concrete material,
    the said material may not be effective at all.
    Blistering heat and bitter freezing cold can crack the toughest of concrete.
    Repairing larger cracks or holes in driveways takes a little more
    time and preparation.
