Croatia: Beautiful Island of Krk and Crystal Clear Sea

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!

East Sussex, UK: Hastings House, A Room In A Cosy Refine Bed & Breakfast In Hastings

What a great surprise! Here is a stylish Bed and Breakfast of eight rooms, run by a couple of Australians, much more better than some 4 star hotels!  A personalized outstanding hospitality. Upon check-in, Loy Seng, the owner welcomes you by offering you a drink of what you want. Here the hosts are detail oriented. And the new equipment is very well maintained. On the top floor, I’m discovering my room. The setting worthy of a good design hotel! An iPod station, the original bedside lamp, but mostly the large minimalist bathroom! I love it! Gray tiles, maxi bathtub, design faucets, extra clean toilet, mirror sets, beautiful finishes and bright light (pictures 2 & 3). Less is more! Seng confirms me they have used a decorator. Not to mention the perfect bedding and the excellent breakfast, cooked by Elizabeth, his wife. The Hastings House is a bit eccentric to the tourist area of Hastings : 20 minutes of an invigorating walk along the seafront to get there. The Beb & Breakfast is also 10 minutes from St Leonards: stop at the Post Office Tea Rooms, for an English tea & scones break.
