We wanted the weekend off without worrying about studying and college, so first we decided to go on Čiovo where is Ana's family and then from there we went in Pirovac in Dominik's cabin at sea.
Last Thursday by car we took the old road to the sea. We love to travel on old road because the forests and villages are closer to you and you can stop at anytime and look around the place that catch your eye.
This photos below are from few stops that we took. Every hill around us looked so huge. This area is Gorski kotar and it is common for huge areas of healthy forests. Here you can find a lot of apartmans for a very reasonable price.
This yellow one is Smyrnium perfoliatum L. I really like how the leaf colors turn yellow at the top just like little flowers.
Purple one is Viper's bugloss ( Echium vulgare L.)
On the photo below you can see how the landscape changed and there is no more high green forest, this is Mediterranean landscape with a lot od bushes on hills with degraded forests. This landscape is a result of a higher temperature and strong gust of wind.
As soon as we saw this Mediterranean landscapes we spotted the sea.
Photo below shows a view from the beach on Čiovo. Summer is starting soon so there are already peple who enjoy themselves in sea. For us the sea is still cold, but next time we get back it is going to be perfect for swimming and relaxing in it.
This pinky flowers are from garden that Ana's mum take care of. It is called Common mallow ( Malva sylvestris L. ). She was very happy to show me these flowers in their full bloom.
This one are also from the garden and their name is Field bindweed
( Convolvulus arvensis L. )
We went for a walk by the coast and mums dog was our companion,his name is Ogi. He loves to go in sea to refresh himself, since he have a long hair he looks very funny when he comes out from the sea. He really likes to sniff around here and of course bark at seagulls.
Usually in this time of the year there are a lot of tourist here enjoying the Mediterranean climate but due to all restrictions about traveling there are only small amount of tourists.
All photos were taken by us. 😀
