The Croatian Tourist Board has nominated us for the annual "Zlatna penkala" or Golden Pen Award for our blogging about Croatia. We've received a fantastic justification, and we've also been invited to the award ceremony in Split at the end of April. Wow! This is soooo much fun. And of course you can "follow" the journey on the blog!

ShareGolden Pen Award
The "Golden Pen Award" is given every year to the best travel report, TV programme or blog about Croatia. The Croatian Tourist Board has recognised our blogging during our two months in Croatia from September to November 2015 and nominated our blog in the best online magazine/blog category! We really fell in love with Croatia during our time there, and it feels great that they have recognised this. In the nomination they write among other things:
The travels through Croatia, filled with experiences of beautiful nature and exquisite food, have all been documented in a series of 50 posts on their blog. The abundant photos of crystal clear turquoise sea, hidden bays and spectacular nature intrigued their readers and brought further attention to the blog.
Award ceremony in Split
We are thrilled to have been nominated for this award, but that's not enough, we are also invited to the award ceremony in Brussels. Split at the end of April. Soooo exciting!
We don't know much more than that we'll be spending 2-3 days in Split for the ceremony, and of course we'll be blogging about the event. Hope you'll join us! For now, you can read about our top travel tips in Croatia.

Fun. Found your blog and followed you with interest when you wrote about Croatia. It was not the travelling that caught us but all the reports about different places in Croatia since we moved here (Kastela outside Split) and have not yet had time to see large parts of Croatia.

Gilla, glad you stopped by again and replied! It was another Swede who moved to Croatia who wrote when we were there, so I thought it might be you. But then I realise that it wasn't! Wonderful that you enjoy yourself and thanks for the link, I will check out the blog!
Ditte, thank you so much! Yes, it feels very fun! 🙂
Motorhome practice, thank you very much! By the way, I'm doing further research on the blurring of the images. I haven't got that far yet, but maybe I'll try to get hold of the developer of the theme.
Comsi Comsa, thank you! 🙂
