The Confession John Lydon Made After Sid Vicious’ Death
John Lydon, also known as Johnny Rotten, is best recognized as the lead singer of Sex Pistols which was a band that made its impact on the music industry despite its short-lived career from 1975 until 1978, except for the brief reunions.
While there are a number of reasons why the English band was regarded as one of the most groundbreaking acts in the history of rock music, late bassist Sid Vicious was definitely one of them thanks to his ultimate punk figure with his style and performances.
Vicious’ untimely death broke everybody’s heart including his bandmates since he had a significant role in the band as well as having a close relationship with Sex Pistols members. While you may think every bandmate of his talked about their late friend with much appreciation, you will be surprised to hear one of Lydon’s statements.
Sid Vicious Died At The Age Of 21
Sid Vicious met Nancy Spungen seven months after joining Sex Pistols, and they began dating almost immediately. The couple moved to New York City and checked into the Hotel Chelsea, in which they spent much of their time with substance addiction, heroin to be more specific.
Their relationship was quite notorious as they were often mentioned with domestic violence and drug abuse. Eventually, Spungen was found dead in the bathroom of the couple’s room, with a single stab wound to the abdomen in October 1978.
Although the musician was accused of his girlfriend’s murder, he was released on bail. Yet, he was soon arrested once again in December 1978 for attacking the brother of Patti Smith at a nightclub with a broken bottle. The rocker was once out of jail on bail on February 1, 1979.
Unfortunately, Sid Vicious passed away at the young age of 21 on the evening of the same day from a heroin overdose. His body was discovered early the next morning by his mother, Anne Beverley. While Beverley claimed that her son and late girlfriend made a suicide pact, her theory is still up to the question.
John Lydon Thinks Vicious Got Rid Of Himself
During an interview with Jonathan Ross on February 9, 1990, John Lydon was asked about his late bandmate Sid Vicious. The musician said that he got rid of himself when he passed away, and he knows this because they were close friends. According to Lydon, you are saying goodbye to your life once you start using heroin.
When asked about Sid, Lydon said:
“He was honest too. I mean, he got rid of himself. I was his friend that is why I can say that. I’m not joking here, that’s an absolute fact. Once you start messing about with heroin really, you’re kissing goodbye to your life and good riddance too.”
While it may sound brutal at first glimpse, the musician has actually said that he’s also partially responsible for Sid Vicious’ death. If you ask him, Vicious couldn’t handle being in the band which triggered his substance addiction at the end of the day.
Regardless of his personal opinions, his statement shouldn’t be welcomed considering the fact that his bandmate died. Altought he’s proud of being honest, these types of statements are the biggest reasons why John Lydon is misunderstood by many other people over the years multiple times.

Fiery response to 'Grey Nomad' free camping gripe
PASSIONATE debate has erupted on social media today after a touring couple from Victoria told The Morning Bulletin they wouldn't return to Yeppoon due to the lack of free camping facilities.
Grey Nomads Gail and Ian Roche from Melbourne say they left Yeppoon with a sour taste in their mouth after they were forced to spend the night on their boat in Rosslyn Bay Harbour after countless signs around Yeppoon banning camping and overnight stays in public places deterred them from the coastal town.
READ MORE HERE: Why these grey-nomads might never visit Yeppoon again
While many readers have jumped to the defence of Yeppoon 'no free camping' stance, others have shared their free camping experiences and called for more free camping facilities on the Capricorn Coast.
Here's what some of our readers had to say:
- Peter Fitzgerald: Since when is it Councils place to supply free camp spots at rate payers expense? Is councils job to look after the people that have payed rates and taxes all their lives in OTHER states, or to look after the ones that pay rates here in rockhampton? Why does council insist on competing with local businesses rather than supporting them? These blow ins dont create jobs or employment locally. Look after your own RRC before shelling out our rates to provide for people passing through.
- Aart Zuidema: Typical Victorians, they have a $50,000 boat and a $80,000 car but can't give anything to a caravan park. They're towing a boat, of course they have to stay in their boat.
- Marcia Miller: I can not read this article BUT really wonder at the comments listed. Have you people ever travelled? Have you worked your butts off and are seniors? I do not own a caravan and never will but understand that is my option. After traveling considerably between the east coast and west coast of Australia I nearly hate caravan people especially those who drive at 85klms p.hh when the speed limit is 130 (NT) but through communication with some caravan people there is a huge problem with caravan parks. A lot do not cater for a lot of these rigs. A lot of 'southern ' people book parks for eg 72+days consecutively and force the smaller travellers out hence nowhere to go. The pathetic in town park that has been established is just that. These people have worked their butts off all their life and now want to enjoy Australia and yes they do spend money. Wake up Rockhampton and cater for these people and collect dollars in some form. Yes there is a element of tight handed ones but it is a small number
- Bob Iffinger: You can throw the vitriol all you want and generally make assumptions as the the wealth status of many travellers. The term "free camping " produces a mind set which does not always contain the truth!
- You are complaining that travellers want it for no cost. This is far from the reality. Many towns have sites that are low cost without the frills and inbuilt entertainment. Small fee or donation, often run by local service clubs . This does encourage a stay in the area , you get to eat and shop locally plus $ spent on fuel and attractions.
- Go and see for yourself some of the towns and areas embracing this concept then come back and look hard at Yeppoon and Rockhampton. Speak to businesses for their opinions it my change your mind! Or maybe it won't?
- Terry Hobbs: Too many want to stay in free camps for weeks and leave them like dumping grounds. No wonder they won't allow free camping.
- Kelly McDonald: We are travelling Australia with our 3boys, originally from Emerald. We are currently in Western Australia. Northern Territory and Western Australia provide many free camps and they co-exist with the caravan parks. We stop in a mix of them both. I can tell you though, we tent to stop and play (spend) more when we are free camping.
- It really does put QLD to shame. Often we used to go to Coolwaters for the weekend (2nights) and wouldn't mind spending $160 on accomodation as we were using the facilities, like the slides and the pool. There is no way I would stop there now, while we are travelling as it is just unaffordable. If we could jag a spot for a night or two at Beachside caravan park we might stay there otherwise unfortunately we would move on. We know many Nomads book there in advance for the entire winter (gorgeous spot). I agree, encourage the caravaners!
- Deborah Barton: So, those of us with vans, boats etc have probably worked very hard to be able to buy these vehicles. Most of you on here seem to be jealous of this. I am 62 and still work full time, so I can afford this lifestyle. Yes we do some free camping and some park stays. We buy groceries stop for coffees, bread from local bakery when we can meat from local butcher, sightseeing etc, so don't run us down for wanting a free night now and again! Rant over
- Scott Lynch: If they love small communities so much, why don't they contribute to some of them?
- Maria Finlay-Frenken: So much negativity ... it is no wonder Rockhampton is like it is. We should welcome everyone to boost our economy.
- Rieck Neumann: Theres enough bludgers around here without u clearly wealthy bunch bludging off the town aswell
- Steve Evans: Why do they think that it is an obligation to have free camping. Put your hand in your pocket and pay the small fee that camp sites charge or alternatively stay at home.
- Bev Read: We go to Yeppoon for 2 mths a year and find the place so friendly. Sounds like these two people are a bit lousy. It doesn't look like they are short of a quid but are two mean to go a caravan park. I hope they don't go back there because they are.
- Mick Redrup: They will be missing lots of places then! No such thing as a free lunch. Someone pays. It is unrealistic to expect free camps where ever you go. Lap it up when they are available and pay up when they are not.
- Saul N Cathie Barnes: Support our local businesses they have families to feed ❤ stay in their caravan parks and pay the minimal cost they charge to use their amenities.
- Elizabeth McNally: Stay home then like the rest that can't afford a van and boat or petrol to travel. It is simple. They are not interested in Yeppoon as such, just free camping on their way past. Seriously.
- Kelly Ramage: I know a couple who are grey nomads and they travel all the time everywhere....they stop at the free camping sites, they stop at the gold coin donation sites....and when these sites aren't available they stay at caravan parks, when they're in national parks they pay the camping fees.
- Cheryl Dunnett: All of you young adults should look at it from another perspective. At retirement, not everyone has the funds available to holiday at resorts and motels or overseas This offers a cheaper way to still enjoy our country and contribute to local communities by way of shopping, fuel, entertainment etc. I was recently in Longreach and other western towns, and they are so grateful for the caravaners for keeping their communities afloat. Many would have gone to the wall long ago without us. A few provided camp kitchens for caravaners, where local clubs catered for dinner at a cost of $20 per head, as a fund raiser. Over 60 enjoyed the meal, and the local Rotary Club gave a talk on the area, very enjoyable. Some caravan parks are charging up to $50 per night because they have jumping pillows and playgrounds etc. which older caravaners don't want. Perhaps if these parks charged a cheaper daily rate for non-children visitors, they may get more travellers though the gates. I would suggest to all the complainers, think what your retirement will be like after life and unexpected expenses take a toll on your super savings. (such as health issues, divorce, business collapse and many, many others) Not everyone has unlimited funds to enjoy travel. I for one, will continue to enjoy my caravan trips, with both a mixture of free camping and park stays for as long as possible.
- Daria Hughes: If you don't like it don't go there then. A quick look online and Caravan Park for $30.50 per night with vacancies. Does the world owe you something that everything should be free? Do you think the local families want to go to a park and have 100 caravans and boats taking up all the space?
- Maureen Weekes: I like to free camp as much as possible BUT if we go to a town that we like and want to spend time there & look around and it has no "freecamps" well we pay to stay in a van park. Dont put a town down because you cant get something for free.
- Phill Jenkins: They said they didn't want to spend the $5-$50/night for a stay. Honestly what world do these people live in? We clean up their mess after they leave, maintain the infrastructure, supply toilet emptying facilities, water power and other things. Why should our community pay for their holiday, from the picture they appear to be doing better than most in Central Qld at present. Our area need employment and people have to pay as they go like everywhere else! Try parking up in Melbourne in a park and see what happens!
- Lesley Howard: Spare a thought for the caravan parks they have to rely on the tourist season which up this way is the winter months and school holidays the rest of the year can be very quiet but they still have rates water and power bills to pay.
- Janice Elizabeth Bruce: We have been caravanning for over twenty years and are now completely self contained,we do not use 'free camps' as in the majority of cases we find that the people that have used them before us leave them in one hell of a mess. Caravan Parks are a hub where people can get together in a generally clean environment bullshit about their travels and be looked after by experts who generally extract a few dollars in return for their service.
- Glen Troncy Tronc: Not all caravan parks are pet friendly and tell me why they inflate there prices in the tourist season. We generally stay in a district for a minimum of a week so we spend a fair bit of money in each area. A lot of parks can't supply enough sites because of all the cabins they have, every school holidays the prices go up some of them double no wonder people look for free camps.
- Lee Flynn: I like their comment that they feel obligated to spend in the community. If the majority think like that then that's a lot of money Yeppoon is missing out on regardless of whether they can afford to pay to stay or not. Catering for all types should be the case and as one of the posts states... word is spreading and not in a good way.
- Betty Catlin: I can't help but comment on some of the narrow minded people commenting here. These so called bludgers and free loaders you are commenting about are mostly retired, they have worked and payed taxes and now are travelling in their retirement. A lot of them are self funded retirees and those that aren't are travelling on their pension and whatever they have managed to save after years of working. That's one of the great things about living in this beautiful country is that we all have choices and this is what these people choose to do when they no longer have to go to work.

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" is the only recent Christmas song to join the pantheon of classic Christmas hits. And there's a good reason for that.

Murray Abraham, Jeff Goldblum, and Edward Norton, as well as Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, and Yoko Ono.

When is the Best Time to Visit Croatia
Croatia is an unforgettable holiday destination, no matter when you visit. It has always been a favorite of summer vacationers, but the country can be enjoyed for its beauty and culture all year long. Those searching for sun-filled days spent exploring islands or sailing will love Croatia in July and August; while those looking to take advantage of cooler temperatures and sightseeing opportunities should come during the off-season.
The best time to visit Croatia really depends on what type of holiday you’re after. Here’s a look at what you can expect from each season:
For the ultimate Croatia experience filled with sunshine, hot temperatures, island hopping and swimming in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic, you’ll want to visit in July and August. This is also the busiest time of year when prices will be at their peak, but if you don’t mind the crowds, this could be the perfect time for you to visit.
Early Fall 🍂
Early fall is hands-down the absolute best time to visit Croatia. Early-to-mid September is ideal if you want a classic Croatia experience filled with plenty of sunshine and swimming. The best part is, the summer crowds have cleared out quite a bit by this time, making for a much more enjoyable visit. Keep in mind though that the weather during this time can be unpredictable, so be prepared for rain in Dubrovnik and other popular destinations.
Late Spring/Early Summer 🌸
Late spring (think May) is also a fantastic time to visit Croatia. However, if you are planning on doing lots of swimming, you better love cold water! The sea hasn’t had a chance to warm up yet from the summer heat, so expect cooler beach days.
Winter is a wonderful time to visit Croatia if you love empty cities and low prices. There’s no doubt visiting in the winter will be a totally different Croatia trip. While you may be trading your bathing suit for a furry coat, you’ll have historic landmarks all to yourself. Croatia has always been a favorite of summer vacationers, but the country can be enjoyed for its beauty and culture all year long.
Those searching for sun-filled days spent exploring islands or sailing will love Croatia in the warm months; while those looking to take advantage of cooler temperatures and sightseeing opportunities should come during other seasons. No matter what type of adventure you’re after – there’s a perfect time to experience Croatia!

How Many Days in Croatia is Enough?
When it comes to Croatia, 10 days is an optimal amount of time to explore the country. With its diverse landscape and incredible attractions, there’s plenty to do and see in just over one week.
Whether you want to relax on the stunning beaches of Dalmatia or explore the breathtaking waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park, a Croatia 10 days itinerary will give you enough time to do it all. From historical landmarks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites to nightlife and incredible local cuisine, Croatia has something for everyone.
Of course, the best itinerary for Croatia would consist of 2-3 weeks of exploration. Many travelers come away from Croatia feeling like they could have stayed longer – so make sure to plan your trip wisely!
The Best Way to Travel Croatia
Rent a car
The best way to see Croatia in 10 days is to rent a car! A road trip in Croatia simply cannot be beat. When you travel Croatia by car, you’ll have the flexibility to stop whenever you want, visit places off the beaten path, and discover the countless hidden gems in Croatia.
If you want to plan a roadtrip in Croatia, I recommend booking a rental car with Discover Cars. They compare both local and international companies to ensure you get the best rate.
It is possible to travel Croatia without a car, but I recommend this option only if you have time for a longer itinerary. 10 days in Croatia, while it may seem like a long time, is really only enough to scratch the surface of the country’s highlights, so you’ll want to save as much time as possible on travel between locations.
Check out my recommended Croatia road trip route for more inspiration.
How to travel around Croatia without a car
Croatia does not have a great railway system, so the best option to travel Croatia without a car is to travel by bus (or coach). I always recommend Flixbus because they are cheap, reliable, and the buses are clean with air conditioning. However, traveling around Croatia by bus will take much longer and will limit how much time you can spend in each location you visit. Plus, your schedule will depend on the arrival and departure times of the bus.
10 Days in Croatia: The Perfect Croatia Itinerary
This is the best of Croatia itinerary curated by a local. I have been living in Croatia since 2014 and have traveled the country extensively my entire life (thanks to my Croatian roots!). I’ve spent countless weekends in search of unique destinations and hidden gems to get you off the beaten path and show you authentic Croatia. This Croatia travel itinerary will take you from Zagreb all the way to Dubrovnik over the course of 10 days, allowing you to see the country’s highlights with a sprinkle of insider tips.
With all of the beaches, islands, and breathtaking sights you’ll see along the way, it wouldn’t be a surprise if you decided to stay longer in Croatia! The truth is, 10 days is just enough to get a taste of what the country has to offer…and then it keeps you coming back for more. 😉
Without further ado, here is your ultimate Croatia 10 day itinerary!
Day 1: Zagreb
Begin your 10 day Croatia itinerary in the nation’s capital of Zagreb. With beautiful historic architecture, excellent restaurants, and interesting museums, Zagreb offers a totally different vibe from the coast.
Start your morning at the open-air farmer’s market, Dolac. With its red umbrellas and bustling atmosphere, this market is the beating heart of the city. Sample locally made cheese, dried fruit, and cured meats, and perhaps pick up some fresh fruit for a mid-morning snack.
After you’ve had your fill of the market, take the short walk up to the Upper Town. This hilltop historic district is full of charm and definitely worth exploring for a few hours. Get lost in the tangle of medieval streets, marvel at the rooftop of St. Mark’s Church, and take in the best views of the city from Gradec Plateau. For a truly one-of-a-kind museum experience, pop into the Museum of Broken Relationships for a quirky and engaging exhibit.
Next, it’s time to take the funicular to the Lower Town to partake in Zagreb’s vibrant cafe culture. With cafes nearly every few feet, you won’t be hard-pressed to find a spot to sit back for a while. A good place to start is in Bogovićeva Street, where the locals hangout. End day one in Tkalčićeva Street – a pedestrian-only lane flanked with bars and restaurants galore.
When the night is over, slip back into your accommodation (hopefully you’ve chosen one of the best hotels in Zagreb!) and get ready for a nature-packed day 2.
If you’re visiting Zagreb in the summer, get ready for the city’s iconic summer festivals. Depending on the month you visit in, you’re bound to be around for Summer on Stross, Zagreb Burger Festival, Corona Sunset Sessions, Summer Stage Tuskanac, and more!
Day 2: Plitvice Lakes & Rastoke
No ultimate Croatia itinerary would be complete without a visit to the world-famous Plitvice Lakes National Park. Plitvice is a network of 16 unbelievably natural blue lakes and cascading waterfalls nestled in the mountainous region of Lika, just about 130km away from Zagreb. This national park is one of the most visited sites in Croatia thanks to its breathtaking views, turquoise waters, and lush vegetation. Home to over 90 waterfalls, it’s no surprise that this wondrous natural landscape has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you are visiting Plitvice in the summer, anticipate lots of tourists. It is best to arrive early in the morning (i.e. when the park opens) and you’ll be able to enjoy the park without having to worry about navigating past crowds on the extremely narrow boardwalks.
On the way to Plitvice, stop for a break in the lovely little village of Rastoke. Built over a series of watermills, this tiny town paints the perfect picture of what it is like to live in harmony with nature. Beautiful waterfalls and lakes weave through the village homes, providing a delightful place to relax and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings.
Best Places to Stay Around Plitvice Lakes:
Day 3: Šibenik & Trogir
Šibenik is a wonderful stop as you make your way down south. This historic town boasts some incredible sights like the 15th century stone Cathedral of St. James, and impressive views of the Kornati Islands.
Near Šibenik is another Croatia national park famous for its waterfalls – Krka National Park. If you are debating between Plitvice Lakes National Park or Krka National Park, Plitvice Lakes (in my opinion) is the clear winner. However, Krka National Park is worth visiting if you are a nature-lover and your schedule allows it. Krka waterfalls can be seen in less than half a day, making it an easy stop on a Croatia coastal road trip.
After a short visit to Šibenik (or Krka National Park) continue your way down south toward Trogir, Croatia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is adorned with castles, towers, enchanting cobblestone streets, and a sparkling waterfront promenade. Spend the afternoon getting lost in Trogir’s striking marble streets before heading to Split for the night.
For more inspiration on how to spend your time in this medieval seaside town, check out these incredible things to do in Trogir.
Day 4: Split
Split is your final stop on the mainland before heading out to the islands, and it is also the place you’ll return your rental car (if you decide to rent one). A full day in Split is plenty of time to get to know this beautiful city. As soon as you pass through its ancient gates, you’ll instantly become enveloped in its old-world charm.
Begin your morning with a walking tour of Diocletian’s Palace, an ancient Roman palace constructed in the 4th century AD. Sit on the steps of the palace (also called the Peristyle) and enjoy your first coffee of the day as you witness 17 centuries of history all around you.
For the most spectacular panoramic view of Split, visit the Cathedral of St. Domnius and climb up to the top of the bell tower.
Spend the afternoon at the beach and swim with the locals at Bačvice, Split’s most famous beach! This sandy beach is so shallow you can walk about 50 meters out into the sea before even having to swim! A walk along the riva (waterfront promenade) in the evening will complete your perfect day in Split.
If you want to stay longer than one day in Split, I recommend checking out some of the highest rated Split boat tours and spending a day on the Adriatic Sea!
Where to stay in Split:
Day 5: Hvar
In the morning, catch an early morning ferry to Hvar Island. The ferry from Split to Hvar departs frequently during the summer months and the journey lasts about 1 hour (just be sure to choose the high-speed catamaran).
Famous for its bustling nightlife, spectacular landscapes, and dazzling coastline, Hvar is the first island you’ll visit on this 10-day Croatia itinerary. Home to some of the most stunning beaches in all of Croatia, Hvar is perfect for those who love swimming, sunbathing, and gorgeous nature.
Spend the morning of your first day exploring Hvar Town and visiting the most notable attractions like the Cathedral of St. Stephen and the Hvar Public Theater. Enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafes that surround St. Stephen’s Square before heading to some of the nearby beaches where you’ll spend the rest of the afternoon.
Some of the best beaches on Hvar Island, like Hula Hula Beach, are within walking distance of the Old Town, while others (like Dubovica, Lučišće, Milna, Zaraće, Grebišće, and Jagodna Bay) can be reached via scooter or boat. Check out my guide for more on what to do and see in Hvar Town.
Where to stay on Hvar Island:
Day 6: Hvar + Pakleni Islands
On Day 2, spend the entire day hopping around the Pakleni (or Paklinski) Islands. This gorgeous chain of wooded islands sits right across from Hvar Town. The Pakleni Islands are known for their crystal clear bays, striking lagoons, secret beaches, and elegant beach bars.
Getting to this glorious archipelago is easy. Simply catch one of the taxi boats leaving from the main dock in Hvar Town. These boats typically depart every 20 minutes starting at 11:00 AM every day of the week during high season.
Wrap up your visit to Hvar by climbing up to the Španola Fortress (also called Fortica Fortress) and watching the sun go down over Hvar Town Bay and the Pakleni archipelago. After sunset, head back into town for a delicious local meal or hit up one of the many bars for a taste of the island’s famous nightlife scene.
Other things to do on Hvar Island
If you’re looking for an alternative to a Pakleni Island day trip, there are plenty of other activities and places to visit on Hvar. Here are a few I’d recommend:
- Stari Grad – Stari Grad is the oldest settlement not only on Hvar Island, but in all of Croatia! A quaint and peaceful village situated on the northern side of the island, Stari Grad is a must-visit on any visit to Hvar. Roam around the streets lined with Venetian-Renaissance buildings, ice cream stands, al fresco bars, and charming souvenir shops for a more laidback experience on Hvar.
- Blue Cave Tour – one of the most incredible and popular activities you can do while visiting Hvar is to take a day trip to the Blue Cave. It is not possible to visit this magical cave on your own, so if you want to visit you’ll have to take a guided tour (many visitors say that this is a highlight of their Croatia trip!).
- Vrboska – a small but charming fishing village filled with many small bridges give Vrboska the nickname “Little Venice”. Although tiny, this town is bursting with culture and scenery, featuring a unique 15th century fortress-church (St. Mary). The atmosphere in Vrboska is very inimate, with plenty of parks, cafes and restaurants to enjoy. It is best visited when paired with a stop at the nearby town of Jelsa.
Day 7: Vis
The next morning, catch a ferry to one of the most beautiful islands off the Dalmatian coast – Vis.
Unlike many other Croatian destinations, it is one of the few islands that has been successful in preserving its authenticity, thanks to its remote location. While visiting Vis, you can expect to experience unspoiled nature, untouched beaches, gourmet delicacies, and most of all, peace and quiet.
Spend your first day on the island beach hopping. Some noteworthy stops include Komiza, Srebrna, Stiniva, and Stončica. Renting a scooter on the island is highly recommended, as it will allow you to freely explore all of the beaches and hidden villages.
Fun fact: Did you know that the last recorded shark attack in Croatia actually happened off the coast of Vis?
Day 8: Vis
On your second day on Vis, delve deeper into the fascinating history of Vis Island on a military tour. This 3-hour tour covers a visit to the island’s 19th century fortress, Fort George, a tour through the mysterious submarine tunnels, and end at the highest point on the island for a spectacular panorama of Komiža.
When you arrive back to Vis in the afternoon, hop on your motorbike and head inland to experience authentic island cuisine at Darko Agroturizam. A reservation is required, but it is so worth it as the ambiance of this traditional tavern is unreal. Imagine dining on homemade bread, cheese, wine, and more under 400-year-old grape vines!
Where to stay on Vis Island:
Day 9: Dubrovnik
The final stop of your 10-day Croatia itinerary is none other than the magnificent city of Dubrovnik. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is one Croatian destination that you absolutely must see (despite the crowds). It is one of the most complete and preserved walled cities in the world and is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
On your first day in Dubrovnik, get your bearings by joining a walking tour around the Old Town. This walking tour will take you around the city walls where you can admire the stunning sea of bright orange rooftops agains the backdrop of the cool blue sea. While on the tour, you’ll learn about the town’s magnificent history and how the walls came to be.
If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll probably be interested in seeing some of the show’s filming locations. This tour will take you behind the scenes of King’s Landing and the capital of the Seven Kingdoms where you’ll learn about the cinematic magic that brought the series to life from your expert local guide. This Game of Thrones Walking Tour includes entrance to the city walls with an opportunity to upgrade to include a trip to Trsteno Arboretum, the site used as the King’s Landing palace gardens.
Find out how expensive is Dubrovnik and how to set your daily budget for when you visit!
After you’ve toured the city walls, pay a visit to the 15th-century Onofrio Fountain and fill up your reusable water bottle before strolling down Stradun getting lost in the old town streets.
End your day with a cable car ride up to the top of Mount Srd for sunset! For a truly memorable evening, consider making a reservation at Panorama Restaurant and enjoy a Mediterranean-style meal alongside the most breathtaking views of Dubrovnik.
Where to stay in Dubrovnik:
Day 10: Dubrovnik
Spend your final day in Croatia visiting Lokrum Island – the perfect day trip from Dubrovnik.
Just a short 20-minute ferry ride away from Dubrovnik, this enchanting island is adorned with a 19th-century botanical garden, immaculate beaches, and hidden coves. Not to mention, there are peacocks and rabbits roaming around the island that make the experience so much more magical.
One of the best ways to discover Lokrum is by renting a kayak to explore the crystal clear waters and striking coastline.
End your last day in Croatia at one of Dubrovnik’s most famous watering holes, Buža Bar, perched on the jagged cliffs just outside the Old Town walls. Take in the sunset as you witness (or join) the brave locals and tourists dive from the cliffs into the azure waters below – an experience for the books!
Extend your trip from Dubrovnik:
If you have more time or want to extend your 10 day Croatia trip, you can easily do so by adding on a few day tours to nearby islands (or countries)! Here are some day trips from Dubrovnik I’d recommend:
Elafiti Islands – located just off the coast of Croatia, the Elafiti Islands are a dreamy day trip from Dubrovnik. This archipelago features 6 islands that dot the glimmering Adriatic Sea, each of them offering something unique to uncover. Stop by Šipan and lounge on its stunning beaches, go snorkeling in the countless crystal clear bays, and explore the ancient Franciscan Monastery built in 1452.
Konavle – Head south just 30 kilometers from Dubrovnik to explore the golden region of Konavle. Stretching from the darling town of Cavtat to the border of Montenegro, Konavle is the ideal place for a day trip. Within its rolling hills, you’ll find charming villages laced with waterfalls and watermills. This area is also considered the “Golden Valley” of Dubrovnik as it boasts the most fertile soil. Konavle is also home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia – Pasjača Beach.
Mljet National Park – Mljet is an island that is well-known to locals, yet remains a hidden gem to many tourists who visit Croatia. It is the most forested island in Croatia, with a national park carpeting over half of its land. This verdant oasis is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik. Days there are spent biking around the islands very own saltwater lakes, hiking through the Mediterranean flora, and relaxing on immaculate beaches. You can easily explore Mljet National Park on a day trip from Dubrovnik.
Montenegro – Just 45 kilometers south of Dubrovnik, Montenegro’s coast offers untouched natural beauty and breathtaking scenery. Extend your vacation or take a day trip from Montenegro to Dubrovnik by crossing the border to discover the enchanting towns of Perast, Kotor, and Budva.
Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina – You may have seen photos of Mostar’s iconic bridge (Stari Most), but there is so much more to be discovered when you visit Mostar on a day trip from Dubrovnik. Influences of the town’s Ottoman past are still evident throughout the ancient streets where you’ll stumble upon the old Turkish bazaar and shops preparing traditional Turkish coffee, which make for a truly unique experience. Extend your visit with a trip to the nearby Kravice Waterfalls where you can enjoy a dip in the waterfall pool.
Peljesac Peninsula – A one hour drive north of Dubrovnik will take you to the land of oysters and wine. One of the best places to visit is the town of Ston, a medieval hamlet best known for its impressive 5.5 kilometer long defense wall (the second longest in Europe!). Wander through the picturesque, time-honored alleyways of the old town and visit the salt works, a place where salt has been produced for nearly 2,000 years. Of course, no visit to Ston is complete without sampling some of the town’s tasty oysters that are grown and harvested in the bay of Mali Ston.
Italy – while Croatia and Italy might not share a border, it is actually super easy to extend your trip to Italy from Dubrovnik by taking overnight the ferry across to Bari. There you can explore the striking town’s of southern Italy like Alberobello, Matera, and Polignano a Mare. Be sure to check out these Italy and Croatia itinerary ideas for more inspiration!

Final Thoughts: 10-Day Croatia Itinerary
That wraps up your Croatia 10 day itinerary.
It goes without saying that this is only one of many itineraries through this gorgeous country. This Croatia travel route can serve as the starting foundation for your dream vacation that you tweak to fit your needs.

What a wonderful chili! Cheap to make too. =) I like to add some extra corn, as I love corn. I especially love the fact that this recipe is so versatile. If I am out of jalapenos, I just add some extra Tabasco and cayenne pepper. If I only have two, not three cans of beans, I can just add some extra veggies. And if some carnivores really want some meat, I will add a pound of ground turkey (healthier than ground beef). However, if you add meat to this chili, I would recommend adding more cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce. It seems that when meat is added, it soaks up a lot of the heat, as it is not as spicy.

The 3rd generation of the Eclipse debuted in North America in July 1999. The Eclipse was a Japanese car, but one specifically targeted to the North American market. Initially, only the coupe model was offered; the Spyder model was added to the line-up in 2000. (The Spyder was the only model ever sold in Japan, starting in late 2004.)
The appeal of the 3rd-generation Eclipse was its linear-themed styling. The 1st-generation with its retractable headlights had a masculine image, while the 2nd-generation (dubbed a "secretary's car") was geared more towards women with its smooth styling. But with the 3rd-generation a balance was struck.
The coupe is 175.3 inches long, 68.8 inches wide and 51.5 inches tall, slightly longer than the 2nd-generation model. The unique shape of the headlamps and three slits along the side gave the car an aggressive appearance. The instrument panel also looks sporty, with its jet-black colour scheme and large round speedometer and tachometer.
The Spyder with its electric soft-top was practical as well as stylish, with seating for four despite its open-top design. Both the coupe and Spyder came with a choice of either a 197 BHP 3L SOHC V6 or a 145 BHP 2.4L SOHC inline-4 engine. The 3L version later underwent slight modifications that raised the output to 210 BHP. Both versions were naturally front-engine/front-wheel drive.
The basic platform was shared with the Galant, including the front-strut/rear-multilink suspension layout. A GTS model added in 2003 became the premier grade in the Spyder series. It was both sporty and luxurious, coming standard with leather seats, side airbags, ABS and a host of other amenities.
This car can be bought at the Mitsubishi New Cars Dealership for 26,780 Credits.

For about eight days in Panaji in December, a children's park became the site of a simulated tinto—a village marketplace where people once gathered to gozzale (gossip) and get their daily fix of vegetables, fish, haircuts, bread, letters and news. Going beyond fish curry and prawn balchão, this tinto also had wheat ladoos from the cookhouses of Goud Saraswat Brahmins; manganey or a Goan version of kheer or sweetened rice porridge flecked with fenugreek; aambadey or hog plum chutney served with a local variation of dosa, a poor man's meal from a Goan Hindu kitchen.
“You see, during Lent, we even had veg pulao,” whispers Odette Mascarenhas, a food historian, critic, author, television host and long-standing curator of Food as ‘Art’ at the annual Serendipity Arts festival in Goa, the first major art event in India to start a dedicated 'culinary arts' segment.
Few brave-hearts would risk disdainful stares by suggesting vegetarian delicacies to eat while on a vacation in Goa. But an arts festival in the city brooks no such attitudes or biases. The three-year-old Serendipity Arts Festival has consistently curated food experiences as the most accessible art form, including its collaboration in 2016 with an artists-led think-tank—Centre for Genomic Gastronomy—which got people to sign up for gustatory samplings of smog and tears. This year, Mascarenhas directed masterclasses on home remedies like how to use Goa's go-to tipple Feni as medicine with generous doses of egg yolk, milk, coffee and cinnamon in a theatre performance and employ sugarcane as canvas for artworks, inspired by a folktale of elephants rampaging sugarcane fields.
“Food stimulates all our senses unlike other art forms,” says Mascarenhas, who has rejuvenated forgotten Goan community dishes and food stories through pop-ups, paintings and plays. While Serendipity and Mascarenhas have become frontrunners of art exhibition-style food menus, they have also emphasised the need to document fast-disappearing community dishes and how they were cooked, understanding food history and sociology or how food reinstates caste practices.
Key art festivals today are ensuring food is not just about catering, laughs and libations. They are exhibits in themselves, preening their origins in complex social fabrics and letting visitors sample lesser-known hyper-local flavours and ingredients in the most cerebral ways. The ongoing Kochi-Muziris Biennale is a case in point. The 2018 edition is the first one since the festival started that has food art as a formal exhibit. Vipin Dhanurdharan, a 29-year-old artist from Kochi, took inspiration from the teachings of poet, rationalist and social reformer Sahodaran Ayyappan—who is known for his revolutionary inter-caste community dining concept called Misrabhojanam—when he set up his open kitchen installation at Aspinwall House in Fort Kochi, where anyone can cook, eat or serve a feast. Six months ago, he started visiting the houses of locals in Fort Kochi to share meals. “I would sometimes randomly walk in, tell them about my work, eat whatever they were cooking or offer to share. I ate dosa, biryani, curry and vegetables, anything.... And then I would draw their portraits,” says Dhanurdharan, who is exhibiting the portraits near the open kitchen.
In the remaining run of the festival slated to end in March, he is soon going to host his own version of Mishrabhojanan by inviting those very people in the portraits.
Apart from Dhanurdharan, home chef and food consultant Prima Kurien has collaborated with Anumitra Ghosh Dastidar, former sous-chef at Ritu Dalmia’s Diva, to present a special project called Edible Archives on food, memory, migration and identity through a showcase of heritage rice varieties which transform into sensory exhibits. This is done for the sake of preserving "traditional knowledges, historical deprivations, systemic erasures and indigenous biodiversity". Shalini Krishnan, a writer documenting the project, tells THE WEEK about the pinkish Rajamudi rice from Karnataka, a nutritive rice variety patronised by the Wodeyar kings. In fact, because the farmers grew the rice only for the ruling family, they did not have to pay taxes. This rice is served at the KMB with yam and raw banana salan, tamarind-jaggery-pumpkin, mustard garlic chutney, crisp-fried bitter gourd and mullet cooked in mustard sauce. “Our food culture is getting impoverished. Especially rice-eating tends to be very monoculture,” says Krishnan.
“The memories of what you have eaten are there in some kind of archival form,” says Dastidar. “When you eat something, it might remind you of something you have eaten 10 years ago because it is catalogued in your mind. Through this project, we wanted to make a 'collective edible archive' of different indigenous varieties of rice which are not commercially available. We have already used 24 varieties of rice. Each day we have a 'rice of the day'. When people read about the rice, it makes an entry in their minds.”
While these food-centric art projects are more visible by being part of big-ticket art festivals, other smaller ones make for equally fascinating case studies. Legend has it that in Ramalingapura village in the Tumakur district of Karnataka, a king would regularly take his flock of sheep to the forest. One day, the mother sheep returned late and refused to feed her own baby. The king later followed the mother sheep into the forest to find that she was tending an abandoned infant girl. The king, touched by the sight, adopted the child with the mother sheep as her godmother. Sheep milk was then banned in his kingdom forever. Many communities in the village still do not allow the drinking of sheep milk.
Arpitha R.G., a 29-year-old visual artist from Bengaluru, mined these food-based sagas, anecdotes and experiences and got school students to paint the stories. These were later exhibited in solo shows through a grant facilitated by the India Foundation for the Arts in 2015-16.
Delhi-based artists Sreejata Roy and Mrityunjay Chatterjee devised a year-long project last year called the Khirki Living Lab—a series of pop-up kitchens run by refugees residing in south Delhi's Khirki village and Hauzrani, both of which are a cradle of migrants and asylum seekers. Think bolani, chicken Kabuli pulao or chapli kabab with roti, burani byanjan from Afghanistan; burkh and sambusa from Somalia, dolma from Iraq; and minced meatballs and steamed plantain from Congo. The entire project, which invites locals to share meals and understand their cultural value, was turned into an exhibition in December called Museum of Food: A Living Heritage, in collaboration with Kiran Nadar Museum and supported by the Prince Claus Fund and the British Council.
Perhaps it is art that will continue to salvage priceless food traditions in the years to come.

JOHN DAY - A community barbecue and potluck set for 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, at Seventh Street Complex will highlight the milestones people are having on the road to recovery from addictions to alcohol or drugs.
"It's something that needs to be celebrated," said Russ Comer.
He's the prevention manager for Grant County and staff member for Grant County Safe Communities Coalition which is sponsoring the event.
The get-together includes recovery speakers and games, and educational materials will be available.
Those planning to attend are asked to invite their family and friends and bring a potluck dish.
"The idea of national addiction recovery month is to promote the fact that society benefits from alcohol and drug addiction treatment," Comer said.
He noted local resources available to those seeking extra help in addiction recovery including social, church and 12-step support groups and addiction counseling treatment.
Community Counseling Solutions (CCS) in John Day, which also is helping at the recovery event, offers addiction counseling treatment and they have a list of local support groups.
"We hope members of the community can see that recovery from any type of addiction is possible," Comer said.
For more information about support group meetings call CCS at 541-575-1466.

MUMBAI: Notwithstanding tall claims of the state government on the law and order situation, the highest cases of road rage and robberies on highways were registered in Maharashtra, according to a statement tabled in the Lok Sabha.
Lok Sabha member K P Solanki
had sought information on whether cases of road rage and robbery on roads are on the rise across the country, total persons killed/injured, reasons behind spurt in such incidents and measures the Centre intends to take to halt robberies on roads and highways.
Minister of state for home Hansraj Ahir
said while there is no definition of road rage either in the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 or Indian Penal Code, law enforcement agencies are registering such cases under robbery, section 392-394 of the IPC
and rash driving.
Ahir said dangerous/violent or angry behaviour by a vehicle driver, rude gestures, verbal insults, making threats, dangerous driving in a threatening manner may be the reasons for road rage, which lead to collisions, altercations and assaults, resulting in injuries and even deaths.
Ahir said since police and public order is a state subject, state governments are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, registration and investigation of crime and for prosecuting the criminals as also for protecting the life and property of citizens. “We have issued an advisory on road safety and accidents to all the state governments,” Ahir said.
According to the information tabled by Ahir in the Lok Sabha, out of a total 15,566 incidents of rage and robberies on national highways in 2015, around 3,121 were registered in Maharashtra, followed by 2,250 in Uttar Pradesh and 1,236 in Bihar. In 2014, a total of 3,461 cases were registered in Maharashtra while 555 were registered in 2013.
On rash and negligent driving, Ahir informed that in 2015, 31,161 cases were registered in Maharashtra, chargesheets were filed in 24,413 cases and in 9,086 cases there were convictions involving 9,277 persons.
A senior IPS officer said while security personnel have been deployed on highways, their numbers are grossly inadequate. “We are concentrating only on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway
when it comes to safety and security, but elsewhere in the state police presence on state highways and national highways is inadequate. It was found that at several specific locations, despite repeated incidents, stringent measures were not taken to prevent robberies,” he admitted.

After the release of iOS 14.5, advertising costs on Android have increased significantly. The situation was reflected, among other things, on the Facebook Audience Network advertising network, whose customers in June began spending most of their budgets on Android traffic. The Wall Street Journal told about the latest changes in the field of mobile advertising.
According to Branch Metrics, by June 22, over 70% of users had upgraded their devices to iOS 14.5. Since IDFA is turned off on most devices, this led to advertisers refusing to purchase ads on iOS, redistributing budgets towards Android and, as a result, increasing the cost of advertising on Android.
Previously, the data attribution service Tenjin has already reported that in May, iOS accounted for only 48% of all advertising spending in mobile. According to the company’s latest data, in the period from June 1 to July 1, advertising expenses on the Apple platform fell by a third. During the same time, spending on Android has increased by 10%.
The influence of Apple’s new policy was also noticed by the Tinuiti advertising agency. Its customers can no longer get an audience that has banned apps from tracking their data. As a result, the growth of advertising spending on Android increased from 46% in May to 64% in June. On iOS, growth has slowed from 42% to 25%. Tinuiti also notes that now the cost of advertising on the Apple platform is 30% lower.
The changes also affected advertising on Facebook. If at the beginning of April, Tinuiti customers spent about half of their Audience Network budgets on iOS traffic, by the end of June this figure had dropped to 20%. It is important to note that this advertising network allows you to buy ads, including in third-party applications, using the data of users of the social network.
Facebook has repeatedly criticized Apple’s new policy. The company argued that the changes could lead to the closure of the Audience Network, which is an important part of its business. According to the consulting firm Jounce Media, in 2021 this advertising network could bring Facebook $3.4 billion.
“Although we expect that iOS 14.5 will continue to create problems for business until the end of the year, we will be able to control it. Most of all, we are worried about the impact of these changes on small developers and companies that rely on personalized advertising,” a Facebook representative said in a comment to The Wall Street Journal.
However, Facebook may ultimately benefit from Apple’s new policy, analysts say. Now the majority of social network users outside the United States use Android devices, so an increase in the price of advertising can have a positive impact on the revenue of the company’s advertising network.
Facebook also plans to introduce a number of changes to the Audience Network to adapt to the new realities. Last week, the company sent a letter to advertisers of its site about the appearance of contextual advertising on it. It will take into account various factors (time, application content, etc.) in order to still show relevant ads even if important identifiers are disabled.

I don’t really believe in new year resolutions, but as the new year begins I set out some goals for myself to try and achieve. I like to believe these are different from the new year resolution as these are goals that I keep for the whole year. It is not about getting up at 5 am every day or taking up kick-boxing, but things that I would like to improve or learn in the coming year.
Those who know me well, know that I can’t sit still and believe I know everything that is there to learn nor does it ever occur to me that I am old to learn something new! The only two criteria for this are that either it should excite me or help me evolve into a better person. That might sound selfish, but it is extremely gratifying.
So what are my goals for 2020?
Surprisingly, this year I don’t have that urge to do x,y,z by the end of 2020. Usually, I have a list that runs into pages. I even believed for a brief moment that I am getting old and hence losing that spark to learn! But then I realized maybe this is another important thing to learn! Afterall contemplation and implementation is equally important.
I want to continue my reading journey. I have read a decent amount of books this year and I plan to continue that. Reading has helped me liberate myself and destress like never before. I wish to continue doing that.
As I learnt a few skills in 2019, I also made some new friends. I plan to continue on that journey and network and meet interesting people from various walks of life. These people and me could be connected on a skill, professional or personal level. But I have loved that aspect of going out there and talking to people from different backgrounds and age groups. The conversations are not just fun but enriching as well.
I want to travel some more and write about them. Now that I have been writing in Marathi as well, I wish to connect with a larger audience base and see how well I can communicate the stories in my head in my mother tongue. Travel always connects me to nature, my family and interesting people that I meet on the way. That’s what I wish to continue.
Learn a new skill
I wish to learn another new skill this year. I will tell you in some months about the skill I wish to learn but this is an essential life skill and I always wondered why I hadn’t found the time to learn it. There is no surprise factor here, but I just want to start on the journey before announcing it to the world.
My blog has been an extension of me and something based on which I am being recognized. I wish to continue nurturing and growing my blog. I have met some interesting bloggers because of this journey and I wish to continue meeting and connecting with newer bloggers and learning a few skills on the way.
2020 needs to be a year of influence. Climate change is real and while the Greta Thunberg’s of the world lead the protest in trying to bring a policy change, I want to focus on the many stories of people trying to make a difference at grass root levels. I want their stories to be read, heard and shared. So, do stay tuned on my blog for such interesting stories. Coz that is another thing that I wish my blog should focus in 2020

This month marks five years of blogging and I still going strong. I think it has become a slight addiction.
Plus having it printed out as a book each year makes up me being a neglectful mama and not doing up baby books for the kids.
This blog has led me to some of the most amazing friendships, random encounters, and tremendous support. Thank you readers, commenters and lurkers!!

Invest In Property Guide | Real estate investments can gain you significant profits when investing correctly. With any investment, however, there is always a risk. It is important to determine when it is an appropriate time to invest in Property in order to eliminate as many risks as possible. Continue reading below to learn more about how to know when it is the right time to invest in real estate.
Financial stability is the first sign that you are ready to invest in real estate. It is important to not invest in real estate when you are financially unstable due to the risks that are associated with the investments.
Ensure that you try to eliminate as much debt as possible and have savings in place just in case there is a lull between the investment and the profit.
Acquirement of Unused Cash
In order to invest in real estate, cash is required. It will take a long time before you get that cash back as well. Down payments can be costly, with up to twenty percent of the cost of the home is required upfront.
If you do not have the cash for this outright, you should see about receiving investment or applying for a loan. Start saving today to avoid creating more debt, however.
A Desire for Entrepreneurship
A very profitable business can be made from real estate investing. Even if you do not consider it a business outright, the IRS will and will require you to pay taxes on the investments.
It is important to be ready to pay these taxes, as well as deal with any legal issues that come into play when owning a business. Ensure you have all of your information and documentation in order to ensure your licensing and legality in running the investing business.
Your Area of Investment is Stable o2r Continually Growing
Do not invest in an area that the real estate market is failing in. You can invest in any area in the United States, even if you do not live there.
Ensure that the area is at a stable place or is continually growing in the real estate market, however. Your investments will be based on how well the real estate markets are doing, so be sure to take this into consideration.
You are Ready for a Long-Term Commitment
Real estate investments are for the long haul. There is no getting out of your real estate investments easily. The end goal of real estate investing is to earn back the cash you originally put in in order to invest in real estate.
In order to reach this goal, a long timeframe has to be given. There is the possibility for your money to be in the real estate you invested in for years on end, depending on how well it does.
You are Ready to Work Hard
Real estate investing takes hard work. You have to effectively manage and maintain the properties, whether you do it yourself or have someone else do it for you.
The real estate purchase process is long and tedious as well. It is possible, as mentioned, to hire someone else to do this dirty work but this will limit how much money you make as you will have to pay this individual as well.
You Have Hired a Good Real Estate Agent
To invest in property every real estate investor needs a real estate agent that they trust. This agent is there to help you navigate the investing area’s market, is there to help you through the purchasing process, and is there to help you in understanding the best investments available in your area.
Be sure to research your agent before hiring them by reading reviews, talking to other customers of the agent, and reviewing the sales they have successfully made. This will help you in determining if this agent is trustworthy for you and your investing business.
