We have successfully added another sub-genre to the ever-growing variety of tourism crazes. You’ve likely heard of “Eco-Tourism” and “Dark-Tourism,” but we’ve just created a whole new classification we are calling “Accidental Tourism.” The story beings with two happy travelers. We have one destination in mind but a multitude of options to get there. …
We stayed the night in a lovely Airbnb in Zagreb—Croatia’s capitol city. It was a really relaxing place to stop, unwind from a days drive and stroll around the city that evening. The next morning Mark snuck out and went for an early jog around the neighborhood while I slept in, and came home …
In Mostar we visited our third notable Bosnian Bridge. The Balkans are dotted with these ottomans marvels and I’m a bit obsessed with them.

Mark packed his Sailrite sewing machine with us when we left the states to move onto the boat. He had to take it out of its hard case and stuff in precariously into a hard-shell suitcase. This was carted along with another hard-shell case that contained an actual kitchen sink. Both of these treasures we …
