- We made it to Croatia for the FIRST TIME EVER! Honestly, our trip to Croatia definitely came with it's struggles! Yes, that included us being robbed at the beach 😳. Luckily, all of the mishaps occurred on the same day so it didn't affect too much of our trip! Amidst everything, we tried to keep our heads up--which wasn't too hard to do in a beautiful country like Croatia!
Zadar is the oldest continuously inhabited Croatian city, and we are very happy we stayed here for a night to explore! Jumping into the water midmorning was the perfect way to start our Adriatic Coast experience!
Split is Croatia's second-largest city and the largest city in the Dalmatia region. We stayed two nights here exploring the Historic Old Town and tasting our way through the famous street markets. We found time for a boat tour to the Blue Lagoon including a fantastic stop in Trogir!
Croatian foods to try:
-Soparnik
-Kruh Ispod Peke
-Cevapi
-Fried Seabass (or any other seafood)
-Lemon/Orange sugar-coated peels
-Sugar coated almonds (Risa's fav)

@@ingridkolobaric2389 It sounds like you are very upset that a place you love was portrayed negatively. Personally I didn't not think badly of the country because of this video. I know that every place will have bad elements and you need to guard your valuables in every country. However; if you watch this video, you will see that they portray the country honestly from their experience. I would have been much more upset than you are if they had this experience and did not revealed it. I understand your response because the emotions are very obvious. I would suggest you think about how you are portraying your country with your comment because honestly I have a more negative reaction to Croatia from your response than from the video.
In every big Croatian town you can walk alone in the middle of the night WITHOUT any problem, please suggest me in which big (or mid sized) german city (town) you can do the same without avoiding certain parts. If you don7t (or didn7t) like Croatia, it is OK; you are free humans, you can see what ever you want with your eyes.
Have a safe and good life and avoid places you don't like.
@@nomirrors3552 Please, love some other country than Croatia, and I'm very very cool,
Have a good and happy life without Croatia.
@@igorsinovcic2769 Were you elected to speak for Croatia? I'm going to assume you speak for yourself until I hear otherwise.
Never leave anything valuable at a beach and go swimming. It can happen everywhere.
True
Yea, no matter what country. That is the first you learn...
Not in Germany, probably in big cities where different people live.
@@herzschlagerhoht5637 definitely in Germany as well as everywhere in the world. Because different people are in different places and especially in tourist spots the chances are higher being robbed.
@@herzschlagerhoht5637 Quatsch! Gelegenheit macht Diebe...überall!
Da bitte Zahlen von der Polizei: "Im Jahr 2019 wurden laut polizeilicher Kriminalstatistik in Deutschland insgesamt 94.106 Taschendiebstähle angezeigt"
Wie kommst Du bloß auf die Idee in Deutschland passiere so etwas nicht?
Actually there are not much robberies in Croatia. I live in Croatia and was never robbed
Pa kad oden na more ponesem peškir i nešto za prigrist ... Ne pada mi na pamet nosit mobitel kamoli jebene dronove i skupocjene kamere ... Ako nekad ponesem mobitel , ne udaljavam se predaleko onda od torbe .
@@maky2258 Naravno. Šugaman i eventualno ključeve od kuće, posebno u gradovima. Ako i nosim mobitel, sakrijen ga na način da ti stvari izgledaju ''lokalno'' - japanke, mobitel skriven u gaće i priko najšugaviji šugaman - takav sendvič nije nikome prikladan za ukrast.
You’re a local. People sometimes take advantage of naive tourists :(
Agree,i was never robbed in Croatia!
@@PutujuceDuce if he was born in Croatia that doesnt mean we stole him. We didnt force his parents to go to Croatia.
Sounds like theft, not robbery. Robbed indicates use of force.
Click bait
Theft yep, on beach (I advice you to not not go with a money, just small amount for ice or juice if you go on beach alone or one of you need watch yours baggage, money, equipment... ), and 90% of that theft... who do that ...is not from Croatia...on summer they come here(from eastern Europe most time) to steal from tourist..
@@rudisusic2632 Brale mi jesmo Eastern Jurop. Ne kazem da je dobro, ali je normalno da ima kradja, svugdi po svitu ih ima. Pogotovo ako poneses cili studio na plazu i ostavis stvari bez nadzora.
@@dinkopausic6357 Brale na cemu smo... di vidis da pise da mi nismo Eastern europe?, pise da vecina lopova dolazi iz Istočne europe u Hrvatsku(ali nigdje se ne navodi da mi nismo dio istočne Eu)... i da se ne radi o domacim ljudima..kad nesto ne shvatis,brine te ili imas zamjerki, priupitas ne pucas odma....jer obicno ispadnes brzoplet...Lp
@@rudisusic2632 Pa to ti pokusavam rec Susi, ne dolaze lopovi negdi iz Istocne Europe da bi u nas na plazi krali, nisu munjeni, sta ce ovde ukrast. Dapace, kod nas vrlo malo lopova ima ako usporedimo s Italijom ili Spanjolskom ili s bilo kojom atraktivnijom destinacijom.
Svejedno se nadje pokoji pametni lokalac ili turista koji dodje na ideju da kupi nesto besplatno, svugdje i uvijek.
You cannot leave your drone and equipment on beach, that is crazy
It’s true! It was silly of us!
It's stupid
WHO DOES THAT .....ITS LIKE TELLING PEOPLE ...COME AND STEAL IT ...HALLLO
@@OurStorytoTell But at the same, being stolen from is WRONG, infuriating and just lame. Which is why I take extra, extra, extra care every time I go to Paris... The theft capital of the world...according to my own personal research...
I have been to Croatia back in the mid 70s the first time (back then part of Yugoslavia) and the last time in the early 80s, long before the balkan war. Loved every moment of it, well, almost, Vegetarians were something of an alien thing back then down there. But Croatia is certainly one of the most beautiful parts of Europe. Having lived 16 years in the USA, I am so happy to be back in Europe and have this magnificent historical backdrop, showing in buildings, city layouts, architecture, culture, music ... and more than anything ... countless mentalities and wonderful people. Make no mistake, I love America for a number of reasons, after all my wife is American, but we both agree, there is no comparison in almost every aspect of life that matter to us. Europe is sooooooo rich and it will take decades to get a halfway full picture of its people, cultures, traditions, nature and its certainly worth it to explore it like you do. Does Europe have problems? Oh my, yes, plenty of 'em. But it is a wonderful place to live and bring up your children.
My birth land. You describe it beautifully !
@@jagg4610 I'm in Canada, I'm absolutely torn by the deep sleep of this country it crushes me. Yes things are happening , but in my perfect world...😉...I want to be by the sea shores of Mass. America and anywhere between Krk and Split, Zadar 🥰💞💞💫🙌🙏🤲
Croatia is an amazing place i go there every two years me and my wife have a house in the Island of Pag not far from Zadar. I'm glad you got everything back. Enjoy Croatia 🇭🇷.
Grettings from Zadar
I love the lamb on pag!
You are awesome! You managed to change from "tasting german food" to "travelling europe" in just 5 or 6 Videos during the pandemic! I am watching "americans in germany" videos since a couple of years now, and you have definitely set a new standard! Thumbs up and all the best to you and your daughter! Great video, beautiful pictures, music and editing!
Please take care of yourself and your belongings! There are a lot of "pickpockets", robbers and thieves out there as soon as you leave your village/surroundings and act like the typical tourists!
Scammers and thieves are everywhere. This morning our TV is reporting on the huge amounts of online fraud. It amounted to £1.7 billion in the past 12 months. Be especially careful of unsolicited emails.
Glad it turned out well and you were not hurt.
Thank you! Agreed! So blessed.
Why would they be hurt?
That would happened everywhere in the world if you leave your valuables and go swimming .They could leave their things near other people so that would be more safe
@@romeolajh1602 EXACTLY .. AMEN !!
So sorry about the accident 😞 but happy that you are safe 🙏 Much love and support from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🤗❤💙
Croatia is full of tourist in the summer time. Some of them is not tourist, they are thieves, from many different countries, especially from the eastern Europe. So do not leave your belongings without supervision. Keep an eye on it, and everything will be fine!
Točno!Exactly!
I love Croatia, we have been traveling around the coast line visiting most of the cities and the national parks.. I love it so much.
@@ingridkolobaric2389 watching that video I was instantly reminded of how those stones feels when you walk on them, how the sea smells, how the fruit tastes, how the sun feels on your skin,.... I usually don't feel like I need to travel, my only exception is Croatia. It's just so beautiful and the food is sooooo good. I miss it a lot.
100% tourist area = 100% pick pocket and theft areas. Even in the nicest places. Never leave anything unattended or on display in a car

What an adventure! Such beautiful pictures of you and of all the places you visited in Croatia. And: brave and lucky Tanner! I'm so glad, you could endyour trip without a loss.
Thank you so much for another great video! I love that you guys share the good experiences along with the not so good ones as well (obviously sorry for the latter ones). You guys sharing the unfortunate events along with such a nice and constructive reaction to them is so much appreciated. Loving your positivity - keep going! - Also, Willa remains the cutestestestest!
I absolutely agree !
Thank you! 💛 It means a lot!
Hey guys...beautiful video, wonderfully pictures. I'm glad that all of you are OK and you got your stuff back. Always be careful about you and your stuff.. See you in the next video 😉
Gorgeous little family~ thanks for sharing. I'm headed to Croatia this Sunday! So excited.
Have a blast! You'll love it!
Really enjoyed your videos on the trip to Croatia. Stunning scenary, excellent editing and the whole family are stars in front of the camera. Very relieved to hear that you recovered your stolen bag without loss; unfortunately criminals take advantage of areas where travellers and/or tourists gather.
Thank you!!
Good thing you were able to turn the guys in and get your stuff back. Scary moment. I still wish you a great time in Croatia. Greetings from Berlin 🇩🇪
so relieved you managed to get it all back....during the summer season you get millions of visitors and not all of them are genuine so always keep an eye on your belongings as if you would in any location with loads of people....
Thank you!
Uhh ohh that was close glad that yall got your stuff back.
I was stationed with the German Army IFOR contingent in Trogir for almost 6 months, walked some of the paths you showed in your video back than. It is really breathtaking. And that Prsut (ham)....... O M G. They said its amazing taste comes from the drying in the sea air.
Happy you got your stuff. Very shocked and sad that is happening in Split. Thank you for the content.
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your lives. We are very glad that you guys are okay and that the altercation didn't turn violent at any point.
Phew, glad you managed to get your stuff back, barefooted no less!! 🙌
Wow...you had quite the experience there!! But I loved all the footage of Croatia you shared. It's a beautiful country and I have very fond memories of sailing trips there as a kid and just two years ago we were able to go with our own family and we had two amazing weeks there. I hope to go back. Have fun on your travels.
Thank you! How special you would go on sailing trips there! 💛
Never leave your stuff close to the fence at Bačvice beach, we always keep our stuff close to the locals and never carry expensive stuff with us. Last year there was a thief operating there but was targeting mostly tourists, she got caught eventually. The police station is like 300 m away (north) from the beach so that's one of the reasons why there are not that many thefts there.
Yea bacvice is known for that
Was she Albanian?
@@petarticinovic2710 ma da mozes mislit
phew! Glad everything was ok. Take care and happy travelling. We miss Split and Croatia. Such an awesome place.
I remember we did an island hop boat tour which included Hvar.
Sorry to hear this, Good luck with your adventures. ❤️🔥Sending good vibes your way.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Thank you for the video 😄
Wow scary moment...glad it turned out well.. I love Croatia, we will be there in August! It's so cool to see all the places we've been to in your video, lol. Split and Zadar are beautiful 😍. This time we will visit Orebic
Have so much in Croatia!! 💛
Dear Petra ,while you are in Orebic which is only 2 hours drive from Dubrovnik you can visit Dubrovnik ,too. Also make sure you visit island of Korčula that is only 10 minutes away from Orebic by boat and Island of Mljet that is a National Parc famous for 2 salty lakes . This year they have excellent connections from the islands such us Korcula,Hvar,Lastovo Mljet, to cities such us Dubrovnik and Split by catamaran operating daily.One day you can visit city of Ston that is number one place in this part of Europe for oysters and mussels. If you travel from Dubrovnik airport and you rent a car you can stop there on your way to Orebic.
I hope you will enjoy in Orebic and entire peninsula of Pelješac that is a Croatian capital for red wines such as Postup and Dingač.
Wish you a great holiday!
So glad you guys are alright. Enjoy Croat!! It really is a wonderful country.
We agree! It really is such a wonderful place!
Another great video, beautiful shots and very good editing. I am glad you got all your stuff back and nothing was damaged. You've been definitely lucky there.
Hey, does Risa really hold her nose when jumping in the water? ;)
Take care guys, looking forward to your next video.
Haha this is Risa and I can confirm I do hold my nose most times 😂😬🤦♀️
Tanner aka 'The Beast' got on Hulk-mode. 😉👍
"don`t mess around with Tanner" well done my friend
Btw. In Czech a lot of people talks about Croatia as something lesser of a destination, you known "it's just Croatia, nothing fancy" mainly because like half a republic visits croatia every year for several decades now but for me Croatia is very beautiful and your video reminded me when I was in Croatia like 20 years ago. Those narrow streets and buildings from stone blocks. It's very romantic in my eyes.
I bet they visited the same place/city over and over again, there's just so much places and islands to visit.
Really? Maybe they should switch it up a bit then.... xD
Perhaps the Czechs would prefer getting harassed by migrants in Italy or Spain. 😉
@@mislavsplitski7522 migrants are everywhere, man, migration is actually quite healthy for society to get some new fresh blood. The problem is if the immigrants think they are entitled to something and mistake our open arms with "we-can-do-anything"
You are a lovely adventurous family and wonderful parents to your cute and charming daughter! I was impressed at how calmly and logically you handled being robbed. Great attitude!
This is such a nice comment! Thank you it means a lot. 💛
Whew glad you got your stuff!!!!! I can’t run that fast so they would have gotten away. But we live in a time where these things can and do happen. Keep your valuables safe.
Your are very lucky people. Glad to see you got all back and also you didnt need to come into a fight. With such an experience you will be prepared for the future as such can happen everywhere, not only on the places which are well known for such criminal offences. Seems Willa enjoy the water and will learn to swim later on. Thanks for joining you.
There is a trick how you can let your stuff unattended at a beach for a swim together: make a nice hole in the sand, get your bag with your valuables inside in the hole and cover it with your towels. Obviously you have to have an eye on it from the distance, but for thieves it get really unatractive because they have to kneel down and shovel to get your valuables which would make them look suspicious. Have made really good experiances with this trick and never got robbed.
cant belive you got the stuff back
Glad you got your stuff back. Most people are not that lucky. It's a tricky thing: Pickpockets and thieves are everywhere in the major European travel destinations. We almost got robbed in Paris in the subway. Many years earlier, an entire hotel complex in Gran Canaria, Spain was burglarized while we were there. Hard to believe that wasn't an inside job. My dad "lost" his wallet years ago at the main train station in Berlin. It is so easy to let your guard down when travelling in Europe because most of the time it is very safe, except for when it is not. Spotting the difference of safe and unsafe is not always easy. Please don't get discouraged :) Thanks for your vlog. We enjoy it!
I am from Split Croatia and I am so sorry that it happened to you in my city and my country. Unfortunately it happens, especially in the city. Beaches are perfect place for thefts in summer. On the other hand I'm so happy that you enjoyed your time in Croatia. 👍☺️🤗
Such a sweet family with a cute little baby girl. ♥️
Take care 😊
I also subscribed to your channel and looking forward to see more of you. 🙂😀😃
I've been robbed twice while traveling. Both times in the Mediterranean: southern France and Italy, near Rome.
My sister's husband had put a map of Rome in the pocket of his jeans as a dummy target for thieves instead of his wallet. The plan was actually stolen from him on the bus in Rome.
Never got robbed, but then, I don't make it easy for thieves. I prefer bags which are pretty much impossible to reach in (like, the opening is actually between the back and your back, and what looks like the opening is just a dummy), and good old fashioned breast pouches for importat stuff I want to reach easily...preferable worn in a way that it is directly on my skin, so that I will fell if it slides away. Some people have made fun of my "old fashioned" preference for them, but I rather keep my valuables over worrying about something like that.
Next time see Rovinj!! Istria is STUNNING. And Plitvice is a MUST
We visited Plitvice and it was incredible! You’ll have to check out that video- it’s one of our very favorites! :) Thank you for the other suggestions!
@@OurStorytoTell I will! You put together great videos! I'm sharing them! Keep at it!
I LOVE that you travel with your kiddo!
Thank you so much! We won’t stop!
I'm so sorry that you got robbed. We spent 27 days all throughout Croatia last Septemenr and we felt so safe the entire time. What a bummer!!!
Thank you! We are so jealous you spent so long during Croatia! That sounds amazing!
Nice video 👍👌 you should always be careful wherever you go 😉 greetings 🙋🏻♂️
Getting robbed can even happen in Germany near tourist places or in train stations. When you travel you should be careful what you have with you and that you really have the valuables secure on your body (not even in your car!).
Also in cars you shouldn't show, that there are any valuables in it.
@@itsworkinprogress I actually would park my car in guarded parking areas in countries in South Europe as radios etc. often get stolen out of the cars, too.
Croatia is actually much safer than Germany, with a better safety index overall.
www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp?region=150&title=2019
@@geneviere199 It is not heačlty to visit S. Europe, as we from south are all potential thieves,
there was a song LOOK AT YOURSELF, so do it.
That is bullocks. But where a lot tourists are you always have a lot people that will try to take advantage. 20 years ago I was living some months in Italy and do not ask me how often I have helped English and German people with the translations after someone broke into their cars . And yes, that is why there is much more guarded parking in Italy etc. than in e.g. Germany. No folk is really better than the other.
Very rare occurrence. I've lived in Croatia for 17 years, every summer spent at the beach. Never had anything stolen. Petty crime rate is really low here.
An awful story with a Happy End! Glad you found the backpack almost untouched!!
I would be terrified to leave a bag with so much value alone on the beach. I’m already cautious about my phone 😅
In one of the clips you could see your diaper bag. Maybe split up the valuable items in different bags. Like for example the drone that you don’t need so often mix it up with the diaper bag. It might be fuller or unconventional but i don’t think people will look first into a diaper bag🙈
So glad you could recover your things! When we had littles, we would use a clean diaper to wrap our phones in, and set it next to our things. Funny how they don't bother it! Hope you have safe travels!
Ooooh now that’s a smart idea! 😂 Love it & thanks!
Hope you have good experience in Trogir i think u see you guys again live nad work here and I'm happy🙂
Such a beautiful family.
You were very lucky to get your bag back. It was Tanner, being an obviously very sporty guy, who saved the day. You could get something like the Mengshen Wireless Vibration Alarm (£14.99 on Amazon) to attach to the bag. It has a remote control. Smartwater is also a possibility, but a loud, unexpected alarm going off would deter thieves more. Anyway, having seen your footage of Split I can see now why it has been a favourite holiday destination for many Brits for decades. I can buy that hotdog roll that Willa was eating in a Latvian bakery in my local town!
You guys are so cute! I love your videos
So sorry to hear what happened :(
But man, chasing down bad guys could be dangerous.
Take care you guys and enjoy the rest of your trip!!
It’s true! A first reaction decision that luckily turned out well for us.
How do you feel about a camper van mode of travel along the Adriatic Sea? My husband and I would like to go but we are camper van people. :) think it would be safe? We did this in Germany and never once felt unsafe.
Oh my gosh do it!! You will love Croatia & all the surrounding countries! We felt safe in Croatia- That’s why we left our bags there haha, but we are learning it’s better to be a little more cautious!
Good it all went well in the end 🙏. A little Tip/trick i use when i go swimming: I ask other tourists/beachguests if they can take care of my bag as long as i go swimming. of course its not 100% Save as these guys can steal your stuff too but with a little human insight like they have a lot of luggage or are of older age etc you are quite safe with this trick.
I wouldn't trust in this. I simply bought a waterproof bag for the bare necessities.
Well, all's well that ends well. Good work, Tanner.
But what did you expect with Willa around? 😍🤗
Her smile is absolutely wonderfully infectious. In German I'd say "Sie zaubert mir ein Lächeln mit ihrem Lächeln auf's Gesicht." or "She magically creates a smile on my face with her smile."
She just is that cute.
So sorry this Happend ☹️so pleased you got your backpack back your ok . Sadly this happens more and more
Just keep your items with you at all times .
I’ve been coming here for 25 years and very rarely here if this and I can almost guarantee that the thieves wouldn’t have been Croats
Whenever I go to the beach I take all the "old" things with me (towels, backpack, almost used up sunscreen, etc.). I also avoid areas with a lot of people.
Whenever I am in the water I always keep an eye on my things.
It's easier when you're at the beach with a group of friends since then you divide yourselves into groups and take turns to keep watch and go into the water.
Lovely journey, happy you got your stuff back!
Is it ok if I correct one thing in your description?
It is Ćevapčići
I grew up with them (and more). My family was born in (ex) Jugoslavija.
Yes thank you for correcting it!
So cool you grew up there! 😊
It is ćevapi. Ćevapčići is a diminutive of ćevapi. Not necessary to call them like that if they are not small but regular size. I don't even know how that name came into wider use... weird.
@@OurStorytoTell Nah.. you wrote it correct. This dude speaks nonsense. Ćevapčići is a diminutive. Not necessary to call them like that. Call it simply just ćevapi. One is ćevap and more are ćevapi.
often times it's not locals that rob but scoundrels from out of town who come to pray on the tourists, thankfully it's very rare and never happened to me in 30 years of visiting regularly.
That would make sense too!
Leaving your bags alone is an invitation to robbers. Also be aware of pickpockets and tricksters anywhere. I won't say that foreign country's other then Germany aren't as save but there are certain tourist places that are known for these inconveniences. Hope you are having a great time anyway.
There are thiefs everywhere, but when large parts of the population are much poorer than the tourists, the risk simply rises.
we were just at Bačvice on monday wondering to ourselves, is it okay to leave our phones and ipads while we go for a quick swim, we were a bit paranoid, luckily nothing got stolen. thanks for sharing your story, we'll be much more careful and glad to hear you got your gear back safe and sound!
Yes when we were there many people told us that they leave their stuff there & it is typically okay. Hard to know, but being extra cautious is always the better choice! A lesson learned for us! Glad your stuff was safe & we hope you had such a great time there! :)
Croatia has long been on our list. Maybe this September.
Gooo! 😊
Welcome 🤗
How fun! Glad you were able to get your equipment back! This Tennessee lady would have been sad. Whew!
Thank you! So cool you are from Tennessee!! Which area?

Perhaps you didn't know, some Places in Croatia were used in the Game of Thrones TV Series.
And Winnetou?
@@LythaWausW Winnetou as well :)
I fly drone myself, carry several cameras including expensive Sony a7riii, gopro, and gimbals. Even when I travel solo and leave my bag on the side, I lock it to a fixed structure or beach chair. Its better than not securing it, if someone tries to run with it, they’ll be stalled by the locked structure.
Im glad your drone and all filming gears were intact. Everyone travel safe and have fun.
It was a miracle, really, the way it turned out.
We agree! 🙏
So sorry for your bad experience in croatia.
And as you're outside the states you may consider not talking about 75 degrees as that makes no sense in the rest of the world...
i hope you enjoyed your trip anyway and keep only the good moments in your hearts!

Been in Croatia for 4 months at Sibenik after the war in the 90s when I did serve at the german army. Been in Trogir, Zadar, Split as well. Amazing place. But the heat back then was unbelievable :-)

what is the song at the beginning? i dig it
In can happen everywhere but especially in the southern countries and on the beach you have to be very cautious with your belongings. Huge cities like Rome or Barcelona also known to have a problem with pickpockets.

Easy rule for names in this region. Almost always pronounce the first syllable, don't make the mistake of many English speakers:
So, it is:

ZAgreb
DUbrovnik
SArajevo
BELgrade/BEograd
etc...

You're right about thinking twice! It was a first reaction and we are lucky it ended the way it did!
@@OurStorytoTell hello again, from Wisconsin. Love your channel
Politicians are just robbing in Croatia.. ☹️.. Your people. No one's ever stolen anything from me. 2 times they gave me back my phone, which I lost and 1, wallet.. Unfortunately on the beach it happens that something is stolen from someone, that is why you do not carry a lot of money to the sea, for swimming, etc. If you're carrying, then ask a gentleman or a lady to keep an eye on your things while you're in the sea.. Of course there is a lot going on in the summer, and also in the summer they come to Croatia (seasonal thieves) with us on from Romania, Bulgaria..etc..read a pappers, info! Grettings from Zadar Dalmatia.. CROATIA ❤️🇭🇷
If you are still in Croatio, its definately a MUST SEE to visit Dubrovnik!
Split is the better option. Dubrovnik is heavily overrated. But in the current situation it might not be as overcrowded as usual.
@@HolgerJakobs Thats your opinion. I prefer Dubrovnic, thats my opinion. I know that Dubrovnic usually is totally overcrowded due to cruiseships, but there are no cruises due to corona. I definately like Dubrovnic more and this is a very single chance to see it without tourists. I would give a lot for that option.
I would even go to Venice (if they have come by car) on the route back to home, as that is also totally empty (what is really an unbelievable experience!).
Beach where that happened is Bace and it is known as beach where you can't leave your stuffs without supervision. Expecialy spor were you are. From this spot someone got clothes and shoest from my friend while she was in sea and the best was that I was out, laying ond my stomack and didn't see anything.
I travel to Croatia 10 to 20 times per year, maybe more. I have never been robbed or had any negative experience. But yes, like everone already told you - when there is two of us on the beach, we go sweeming seperatly or if we've met someone, ask them to watch our things (but second things hmmm almost never).
o I gues it your fault. Not that I am defending croatia, but when we travel anywhere in Europe - we recieve sugguestions like take care of your bellogings, dont have to much cash and stuff like that.
Its a good lessen learned for your future traveling anywhere...
That is awesome you travel there so frequently! What takes you there so often? Work?
@@OurStorytoTell Work, fun, holidays... i live 15 minuts drive from Croatian border. Sometimes I go for a shopping only, sometimes have appointments. Croatia is very safe. There are almost no places we havent visited... maybe few islands... but u really have to be carefull.
What about the quarantine when entering Germany?
Great question! We are both fully vaccinated so regulations don’t allow for quarantine.
I can only recommend you guys to visit Budapest if you’re so into historic places. I will even show you some of the best authentic restaurants and places 😋
It’s on our bucket list for sure! 💛 We would love that!
@@OurStorytoTell Great! Dont be shy to reach out to me, I moved to Budapest almost three years ago from Bavaria and its a dream. Also Hungary itself is breathtaking! Check out WOW Hungary on YT, they have loads of videos introducing everything outside of Budapest. Also, from about next week were fully open for the Summer without any kind of restrictions, just like before everything happened, so perfect timing 😜
Croatia is a very safe country to visit. Possibly the safest in Europe. Negatives? High-cost of living, surly staff, general apathy and the typical Slavic angst, which you Westerners will never understand. Try visiting Rovinj and Porec in Istria to experience a different Croatia. Most restaurants are Albanian-run and waiters are super-friendly (especially if you are female and single). A different world, really.
Thanks for all of those suggestions! We definitely want to go back and experience more!
Today we were at Bacvice beach and my friend lost her wallet from her bag. We were just walking along the beach and this theft happened. She realisd it only aftee sometime when she found her bag open. We would like to know if there is lost and found center to report
We are sorry to hear that 😕 We never reported anything since we found the bag and talked with those who stole it, but we hope the best for you guys!
@@OurStorytoTell thank you so much for the reply and for ur concern
You should visit some islands like Krk or Cres! They are so beautiful.
We need to!!
20 years we got robbed in Portugal...spent the day at the beach....came back to the VW Van....and the window had been brokened. ....quite a shock!! Also some valuables got stolen out of the car....never to get them back! This can happen .....
Nice vid.
Wonderful country....also you should visit Slovenia ,I think you would love it too.... :-)
never been robed in croatia, and I live here for 40 years. These guys come and after 3 days they get robed. LOL but luckly everything turned out ok for them.
Kinda like that music👈👍
You are so lucky that you got all your stuff back. Don' t ever leave anything unattended, not even for a minute. There are burglers sometimes even gangs who make a living just with stealing from people. That can happen in every country. And don't leave your wonderful baby girl alone when the two of you go for a swim together, there are some sick people out there.
We definitely were lucky! We would never ever leave Willa on the beach to go swimming!
