Today is not only Happy Friday, but also Midsummer's Eve! We wish everyone a very happy Midsummer, and offer some photos from the Zadar region in Croatia.
A short week in the Zadar region
We have spent this week in the Zadar region of Croatia. It has been intensive daysbut also great fun. So, what has been the best part of the week? It's not easy to choose, but here are some highlights:
- Swimming in Croatia's crystal clear waters
- dramatic nature - high mountains, deep canyons and beautiful national parks
- All historic towns with ramparts and ancient stories
- Multiple food experiences: smoked ham, cheeses, olives and fresh fish.
Plans for the midsummer weekend
We are back home in Sweden, but we don't have any big plans for ourselves. midsummer weekend. We have bought some herring and nubbe that we plan to enjoy in the houseboat, and otherwise we will make up for some lost working hours. And no, we don't feel sorry for ourselves! After our intense journey it can be quite nice to take it easy ...
- What has been the best part of your week?
- What are your plans for the Midsummer weekend this year?
Next week on Freedomtravel
In the coming week we'll be back in Sweden, and we'll be writing more about everything we've seen and experienced in Croatia. Here are some topics you can expect (but we'll probably mix it up with other posts):
- The royal city of Nin - with the world's smallest cathedral
- The beautiful island of Pag
- Paklenica National Park
- Things to see and do in the historic city of Zadar
- The huge Zaton campsite - with extra everything
The top photo of the sunset was taken from Hotel Falkensteiner in Zadar.

Have a really nice, and quiet and relaxing, midsummer! Croatia seems to be very nice! Have never been there. Although I have a friend who comes from there and always talked so well about his former homeland, it has not happened that we went there. Yet!

This week has been full of wonderful meetings and parties, a 65th birthday party at a renovated party site, a fun visit from "Korsotvars", a barbecue for the neighbours, a long coffee with wonderful photo club friends and now we are packing the camper van for a midsummer celebration with good friends in Blomberg on the shores of Lake Vänern.
Have a great midsummer weekend!!!

I understand that it has been an intense week with many programme items and much to see and experience. Then you have to take it all in too....
The top photo is absolutely stunning. An incredibly beautiful sunset.
Wishing you a happy midsummer.

Glad you like the photo! The sunset was magical! Absolutely true that you should have time to take in the experiences. Often there is enough time, but sometimes you get to experience it all over again when you go through the photos simply 😉.

What wonderful pictures! 🙂
The best part of my week has probably been the "Finland boat cruise" we took to Ibiza over the weekend, visiting the island for a couple of days for the first time.
Have a wonderful and happy Midsummer!

Ama de casa says:
Finnish boat cruise? What the heck is that? I meant Finland boat cruise, but apparently that doesn't exist either because there was a red curl even under that word... 😉.

This week it has been busy for the owners at work. Especially my male owner has a lot of different assignments that must be completed before the holidays so I have seen him come home later than usual in the evenings.
Midsummer will be a traditional celebration with my female sister's family.
The owners and I wish you a very happy midsummer!

I have heard that there are a lot of mosquitoes in Dalarna.
Hope you don't get too mosquito bitten. 🙂
Siljan and Midsummer belong together. "In Dala, in Dala forest...."

Like you, we have acquired the necessities for the Midsummer table and D and I are celebrating a quiet Midsummer here at Getingstorp.

You really had a wonderful week in Croatia,
and I appreciated being involved.
Magnificent nature and beautiful small villages.
Wishing you a restful, sunny Midsummer on the boat.

Welcome home again. You don't have to celebrate Midsummer. We haven't done that since 2001, so we've forgotten how to do it. Actually, you should probably drink grave beer on a day like this. It's turning round now and getting darker - there's nothing to celebrate, is there?

Have a nice midsummer weekend too!
Fantastic pictures from your trip. It is just to melt all the impressions together with herring and nubbe! It should go really well in the lovely weather that met you. Enjoy a quiet midsummer and a few mornings of sleep:-)
