The day was long,

from early in the morning we took the road to the island of Krk. Back to Opatija, I have just 1:30 to get ready before going out. I am invited to a open air theater, for a Croatian comedy/music hall. And I will surprise myself to laugh a lot (picture 9). Yep you read that right! No, I haven’t taken any Croatian language courses : situation comedy only! Arriving at the hotel, I quickly go up to my room, where I attend a beautiful sunset on the terrace. I don’t want to move and just meditate in peace.

The view is awesome!

On the opposite bank (pictures 1 & 7), Rijeka I will visit tomorrow. Pictures 2 and 4: the marina out of a postcard at my feet! Time stopped like a Pagnol novel! I can spend hours and hours contemplating the scenery and gently fall asleep. But my mobile gives me the signal … The shower is getting impatient: Mademoiselle Le K, your day is far from over, LOL! A music hall awaits you and whistling the “New York New York!” of Lisa Minelli (I luv u Lisa), I won the bathroom.

Croatia: Beautiful Island of Krk and Crystal Clear Sea

Posted on August 24, 2013 | Leave a comment

One of the most pleasant surprises

of my trip in Croatia: the island of Krk with stunning scenery! Early in the morning, I left Opatija with the same haunting book title in mind: “The Possibility of an Island” (La possibilité d’une île) of Houellebecq … I still haven’t read it, I just like the title … Crystal clear water with emerald and ultramarine blue reflections. Just arrived, I regret not being able to stay more than one day. The island is large and one day it’s not enough to visit all.

After the historic tour of Omišalj 

(this town is older than 10,000 years), the lunch in an amazing location took us too much time (coming up post)! Big-big crush for Baška. I’m captivated by the view: floating dry hills of the surrounding islets (all pictures of this post). Bad timing to find a shuttle boat to get there. In fact I even forgot to take my bikini! Perfect light in a hot late afternoon at an outdoor café overlooking the Adriatic Sea! Wow! Almost time to hit the road to Opatija, where I am invited tonight at a Croatian music hall (without subtitles). Sounds really exciting!

Esplanade Zagreb: A Room

I arrived in the evening at the Esplanade Zagreb,

the cuisine of Le Bistro Esplanade closed soon. Check-in completed at the reception desk, I was kindly directed to the restaurant. After dinner, I wanted to do few snapshots of the hotel and I spent lots of time… of course … Still not seen my room. Along the way I discovered a kind of debutante ball, among the thousand decorative objects that arouse my curiosity. Then completely knockout (more than 24 hours without sleeping), I finally go to my room. Opening the door, I have the feeling that I know the place which is very nice. Even the Coca Zero “Frend” (mate) greets me! The room is spacious and cozy, with a comfortable seating area and long windows.

But the real good surprise: the bathroom

designed as an open space, large, clean and functional with a glam touch of Art Deco. A pleasure to use: no door or wall with the room. Without vampirizing space, such as when the tub is placed opposite the bed: I hate and it can be found in a plethora of design hotels! Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fane of design and crazy architecture.

But in some upscale hotels that were palaces in the past, I especially like their ability to anticipate the notion of comfort for each guest. In my case, I need a large number of electrical outlets in the room for my several chargers (cameras, mobile and laptop). I also need indirect lighting that is not too strong (neither too dark) and a perfect bedding. And do I have to mention free efficient wifi in all areas of the hotel? The Esplanade Zagreb has perfectly fulfilled all these criteria.
