Travel Guide to Croatia: A Mediterranean Gem

Brief HistoryCroatia, nestled along the Adriatic Sea, has a long and complex history. Its origins trace back to ancient Illyrian tribes before Roman occupation, which left behind impressive ruins like Diocletian’s Palace in Split. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Croatia emerged as a kingdom in the 10th century. It later entered a union with Hungary and eventually became part of the Habsburg…

Some nice things about Croatia

I just got back from visiting over a dozen little wineries in Croatia (actually a couple were in Slovenia) and learned some things.

First, Croatia is fucking gorgeous. 

It is also mostly empty.  It is a thin carpet of scrubby bushes laid over rolling hills that have been worn down by time like an old coin.

Croatia has so many rocks.  So many.  In England they clear a field for farming by carrying all the rocks to the edges and building fences out of them; in Croatia when you do that, there are so many rocks that you can only clear about a fifteen foot wide area before you have a fence.

The Romans took one look at these hills and said "this doesn't need forts, nobody's getting through here."

"Peka" is a local cooking method that involves a hole full of hot coals, a pan covering the hole, and a metal lid over the pan, and sometimes further hot coals piled on the lid.  I had octopus, lamb, and val cooked in a peka and it was all delicious.

A konoba is a room that most Croatian houses have which is traditionally used to make and store wine, drink, eat, etc.  It turns out that almost all Croatian households traditionally make wine for their own consumption and this continues today.  So there is a long history of winemaking and a lot of scattered local expertise.

Before communism, there was a pretty significant wine industry.  For example, the Dingač area made wines favored by the Austro-Hungarian monarchs.  But under communism, small winemakers were forced to bring all their grapes to large factories, and they found they couldn't make a living that way.  A lot of vines were left untended or torn out.  The modern Croatian wine industry is less than 20 years old.  Starting around 2008, investments from the EU were used to buy the tanks, barrels, and bottling equipment for many of the wineries we visited.  They weren't even full EU members yet, but it must have seemed like low hanging fruit, pardon the pun.  

Also, they have these Minecraft-ass-looking blocks of rocks that they stack up.  Remember I said how very many rocks they have?  They bundle them up with chain link fence into a rectangle shape and use them t make walls.  It looks like nothing so much as Minecraft cobblestone.

yourusername first song from the good witch! i wrote wendy after a day huddled under my duvet rewatching every adaptation of peter pan that exists. it’s all about falling for lost boys and trying your best to see the best in them even though your heart tells you better. it’s about not making sacrifices even though you want to, learning to put yourself first despite how much love might blind you to do the opposite. what about wendy!

REWIND… AUGUST 2022.

for just under three years, heaven was all you knew. lando was a dream, all wrapped up in his love for you and forever devoted to your attentions. maybe the effect of being locked up together for months as the pandemic reigned had given you both a taste of stockholm syndrome and left you with nothing else to focus on. or maybe it was just time.

the beginning of summer break was when you felt the first shift. every other year, lando whisked you away on a holiday to the sunniest place he could find. he wined and dined you, making up for all of the lost time between the racing season and touring. only, this time, he had booked a trip to ibiza with max and his friends.

“what about me?”

“i don’t see them that often either, you know that,” he defended.

it was understandable, you supposed. he liked those kinds of places, you didn’t. so while he partied there, you spent a little extra time in the studio. but then it was a week in spain with carlos, another in croatia with daniel. the compromise came in the form of monaco. you would take some time off, leaving your london flat behind, and come stay with lando in his monte carlo apartment.

you were all excitement, until you realised your time there was scheduled around lando’s meetings and dj sets and boys night out. the desperation to be close to him trumped all else and so you followed him around like a lost puppy, forever blinded by the sweet kisses and doting promises.

“i’ll take you to dinner tomorrow night, just me and you,” lando would murmur in your ear, letting your frustration subside long enough to let him go back to his friends.

it took that whole month in monaco to realise that this is what lando wanted: someone to follow after him and live for the short term magic, only to be let down by the endless maybe’s, trusting that he’ll catch you when you fall. it terrified you, and yet your undying love kept you playing along.

“i have a show in brixton next week,” you told him on your last morning in monaco, shoving the last of your clothes into your case. “it’s low-key, for some of the really devoted fans. i got management to put your name on the list.”

lando zipped up the last of your belongings, soft thumbs caressing your cheeks. “i wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

you grinned happily, uncaring for whatever doubt sank in your stomach when it was just the two of you, his lips soothing on your warm skin. he loved you, truly.

user the intimate shows w her are my fav 🥺🥺🥺

user mother!

user was lando there? i heard she gave him a shoutout

⤷ user she sang feels like this and dedicated it to him!

⤷ user yeah but it seemed like she was looking out for him in the back when she said it and it didn’t look like he was there ☹️

⤷ user ouch 🥲

“are you alright?”

it’s the first thing you ask when he answers the phone, and you know it’s horrible that you hope something bad has happened — but it’s better than the truth that weighs heavy on his lips.

“i’m so sorry love, i meant to call you earlier,” lando groans through your speaker, your dressing room door clicking closed behind you. still in your stage outfit, you await the excuses. “the flight was delayed and then cancelled. i would get the next flight but i’ve got that thing tomorrow evening.”

“oh, i see.” your eyes sting.. “are you back in the apartment now?”

“huh? oh yeah, i just got an uber back from the airport and i’m ordering some food now.”

if you had the energy to scoff and argue you would, for you can hear the distant bouncing of club music on the other end of the phone, most likely muffled by where lando has hidden away in the bathroom.

“that’s nice,” you whisper, picking anxiously at the skin around your nailbed. “well, the show went really well. i think that—”

“babe, you’re breaking up. i’ll call you tomorrow okay?” lando’s voice raises as the bathroom door on his side opens to let the loud music peek in. “i’m sorry again.”

“okay, bye,” you sigh, but the call ends before he can even hear it. sinking into the small sofa of the dressing room, curling into yourself, the tears flow over your perfect makeup — fading the lipstick you’d chosen just for him.

you couldn’t live like this, is what your friends told you when you spent your evening crying on their sofa. but you loved him, and you would follow him to the ends of the earth. you could be married soon, waiting up at night for the sound of the door unlatching. it’s a life you could have and you knew it — even if it wasn’t what you wanted.
