Recommendations and planning tips for visiting the Dolomites
I wanted to wrap up my posts about our time visiting the Dolomites in northern Italy by providing some details that should be helpful for others planning to visit the region. I’ll share where we stayed and details about how we used the cable cars
Church in England
Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, St Pancras, St. Bartholomew the Great. We are surrounded by beautiful churches in London.
Dolomites: Santa Cristina / Val Gardena, base 4 of 4
Our last stop was one of the most popular regions in the Dolomites, home to the Instagram-famous Secëda ridge and also Alpe di Siusi high altitude alpine meadow.
Dolomites: San Martino di Castrozza, Third Base
Sixteen days in the Dolomites. Technically sixteen nights. We spent four nights, from July 10th to July 14th in San Martino di Castrozza. Our day time activities were pretty much the same as before. Hiking, cable cars and amazing views.
For the Birds
I have heard that inevitably all people as they reach a certain age enter a stage of birdwatching.
Dolomites: San Vigilio di Marebbe – Our Second Base
This is part two of a four part series detailing what we did at each of the four locations that we selected to operate out of during our 16 days in the Dolomites.
Dolomites: Cortina d’Ampezzo – Our First Base
I’ve been wanting to visit this part of the world for sometime, to see and hike amongst the amazing mountains.
What we did during our month in Split, Croatia
We’ve had a nice time here in Split, Croatia. What we’ve seen of the country is as beautiful as we were told. This blog post highlights most of the things that we did to fill our time while we called Split home during the month of June 2026.
On My Croatian Bookshelf
I really did not expect to find a lot of books about Croatia, considering that it is a relatively young country, born in the 1990s during the anti-communist era with other Balkan and Baltic nations.
