Next travel reports
Dear readers,
currently I am working on essays for school. That is why I won’t be able to post new travel reports anytime soon.
Since one of my essays is about Cuba, I have found an interesting website/organisation. If you are living in Berlin this could be interesting for you. The organisation is called “Freundschaftsgesellschaft Berlin-Cuba e.V.” Their goal is to promote communication between Germans and Cubans and to learn more about Cuban culture etc. In addition they want Cuba to be a free and independent country.
If you are interested in Cuba you can travel there with this organisation. They offer 3 week long work “vacation” where you have a place to live and food (along with other voluntary workers). Besides work, excursions etc are included as well. Of course you have to pay for the flight etc but for me this sounds like an interesting opportunity to get to know real Cuba and its people. Here is the link to their website. It’s only available in German.
Thank you for reading my blog!

Bye for now!
Your interests concerning the USA!!!
Dear readers,
last time I recommended some travel blogs. I have been to some places in the USA (just a small part of this huge country) and would like to know about your interests. I hope that some of the places I have been to, sound interesting to you. Or maybe you have also been to a place there and want to know my opinion about it.
I will be happy to write about the place that has the most votes next week. So please feel free to tell me your wishes. You can chose more than one answer and you can also leave comments!!!!

Is there a place called Badlands?
Yes! And it is not bad to visit at all!
When I tell you where it is you probably do not imagine it as a great place to go.
It is located in South Dakota,USA.
At least I did not expect South Dakota to be an interesting and amazing state to visit. Now, I think different.
During my exchange year in Minnesota in 2006, my host brother and sister went on some trips with me. In March of 2006 we drove to South Dakota. The highways there are very boring and for a 100 miles or something you cannot find a fast food restaurant or a real town (which is quite dramatic if you’re starving…).
In the end though, it was worth visitng- thanks to a National Park called Badlands.
Your opinion!
Dear readers,
this time I would like you to tell me your opinion about my recent posts and Croatia. I would appreciate it if you participate in my first poll! As always, you’re welcome to leave comments. Thank you!!!
Where is the smallest cathedral in the world???
Would you have guessed that it is located in Croatia??? It was built around 800 in Nin, in the north of Zadar (info taken from this website).
Nin cathedral
Nin is a very small town, so the cathedral and some ancient ruins are the only sights to visit.
In Zadar, there are more ruins, from Roman temples. There are in the middle of a square, next to a cathedral and a bell tower. (more…)
Visiting Winnetou…
In an UNESCO World Heritage site – the Plitvice National Park!!!!
The Park is located in Croatia near the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some scnenes of Karl May’s Winnetou movies were shot there. It is a beautiful lake and waterfall location which is surrounded by many trees and walking trails.
Plitvice bridge
Beautiful waterfalls in driving distance
Krka waterfall
Where in the world do you think is this breath-taking spot??? Be honest- would you have guessed that this is in Croatia? Just 2 days of driving away from Berlin????
Personally, I expected Croatia and its national park to be boring, but what I found is a spectacular place!
To see this waterfall you have to visit the Krka National Park. It is around the Krka river, near Sibenik.
Pakostane, Croatia
Last time I told you about my highlight in Croatia, the boat tour. Since this tour was offered in Pakostane, I want to show you the place where I was staying. If you want to visit the Kornati National Park (and maybe see a dolphin there) Pakostane is a good place to stay. The Kornati islands are off the coast of Pakostane.
My parents and I stayed in an apartment which belongs to a campground - Camping Kozarica. It is located directly by the sea and only a few minutes away (walking) from the centre of Pakostane. What I liked about it was
- the nice apartment building, comfortable, with a balcony
- the view from the balcony (the sea and pine trees)
- direct sea location and still close to town
