More stripes!

As a stripe lover (here), I almost stumbled when I saw a small shop full of STRIPES! The shop is called Aqua shop. I think it is a Slovenian chain, but they have shops all over Croatia. The one I walked in is in Split. I had some difficulties to decide which piece of clothing I liked the most. Eventually I bought a long sleeve t-shirt. Just being in that shop made me happy. =)

Vela Luka

Our next stop was on the Korcula island, just a three hour ferry drive away from Split. Vela Luka is a tiny sleepy town on the west coast of the small island. The locals say that it is very busy during the tourist season, but luckily for us the season had just finished. I, even though I often am one, don't like tourists. I prefer to go off the beaten track (but in some remote parts of Croatia it is not advisable because of the old land mines).

Anyways, on Vela Luka we did some scuba diving (good sealife!), ate well (good seafood!), made new friends, walked and walked. We went to see a cave, just 3,5 kilometres away from the town. We took the wrong turn at some point and ended up to walk about 20 kilometres (half of it was a steep uphill). When we got to the cave it was closed (!!). Where the route to the cave begins there is a sign with all the information about the cave except it's opening hours. Who would have thought it can be closed; it is a cave after all! So, we climbed over the high gate and explored the cave on our own.

I really liked Vela Luka and it was good to have a quiet few days between the two bigger cities. I also do recommend diving in Croatia; it was enjoyable (saw few eels, a starfish, a nudibranch), not as good as in the tropical waters, but good. :)

p.s. I fell in love with the most cutest yellow car ever.

Split

Off we went to the sunny Dalmatian coast a week ago. We flew to Split which turned out to be my very favorite city in Croatia. Split (the old town mainly) is a compact size city; very old (say 2000 years at least), full of well maintained old buildings, cute little shops, good restaurants and cool bars and clubs. So whats not to like? And I have to say one huge, huge advantage is that there is no must-see sights (like Eiffel Tower in Paris, pyramides in Egypt), so you can just wander aimlessly around in the city and enjoy it as it is. Don't get me wrong: I like to see the popular stuff, but sometimes it is very nice just chill out in the new city.

How to keep it blond?

I need a hair-do. I need more highlights, badly. It has been two months, again (sigh).

I would LOVE to have a very, a really blond hair, but unfortunately it doest suit me. I have ash-blond highlights which I keep bright by using silver shampoo once a week. Or at least try to. A dry shampoo is a bad hair days savior, but it also suits a blond hair making the roots a bit lighter as well. The best thing about a dry shampoo is that it makes hair look thicker (see here)!

Here are few photos of my hair at its best (?). ;)

Nails, home made

I have been doing my own french manicure for a while now and absolutely love it! =) My nails are pretty strong now, so keeping them long is not a problem, like it was for a while. I had weak nails for a few years but I have no idea what changed and why they are back to normal: healthy and strong again..? Anyways, love to have these nails again!
