Wednesday wonder✨ . . . These gorgeous caves were about 15 minutes by boat from Dubrovnik in the Adriatic Sea. 🌊 October was a fab time to visit Croatia as the days were warm and sunny and the sea was still just about warm enough for swimming and exploring the incredible caves that litter the Dalmatian coast! . . . #wednesdaywisdom #wednesday #exploremore #exploretheworld #adriaticsea #dalmationcoast #dubrovnik #boattrip #bluesea #blueseabluesky #takemeback #traveltheworld #exploreopedia @awesomedreamplaces @dubrovnik.croatia @earthfever @wonderful_places @exploreopedia @travellingthroughtheworld @travelerclub.info @travelanddestinations @croatia_instagram @adriatic.pro @adriatic_unlimited

R I S E. A B O V E. . . . Some views are worth the climb. This was taken after climbing the minaret of the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque on the banks of the river Neretva in Mostar. . . A brutal climb with no hand rail... but so worth it...even if I did have to remind myself that I’m not afraid of heights! 🕌 #riseabove #mostar #bosnia #thatview #travel #exploringtheworld #adventures #seetheworld #wednesdaywisdom #travelbloggers #bosniaandherzegovina #worthit #climb #ontopoftheworld #perspective @realbosnia @travelandleisure @travel @epic.travels @travelerclub.info @natgeotravel @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanetmag @mostartravel @stari_most_ @destinations.earths @beautifuldestinations
What gets left behind.... . . An abandoned house on the streets of Mostar. Even after so many years since the war has passed the shapes of conflict are still visible in this city. . . One day was simply not long enough to discover Mostar’s rich history, culture and how it has rebuilt itself after the war. A fascinating place. . . #lpphotochallengeshapes #war #thoughts #abandonedplaces #mostar #bosnia #iwillgoback #wholivedhere #tuesdaythoughts #travelling #discovernewplaces #ilovearuin #experiencetheworld @bosniaandherzegowina @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanetmag @travelanddestinations @travelandleisure @travelbloggeres @epic.travels

F L A S H B A C K . . It seems like the rain is here to stay. So If you need a little sunshine today check out the Ritz Carlton Abama, Tenerife. ☀️ I love this hotel and always feel so rested after a visit.
