Relaxing vacation in Croatia

Hello! As you know I've been on vacation for this past two weeks in the sunny Croatia. I'm not sure if that's common in other countries, but here most of the families go on a vacation somewhere near the sea in the summer, so they can go to the beach every day and stay there till the evening with food and drink and even tents for a shade. There is always a competition who will get the "natural" shade so my dad takes our beach towels to our spot under a small tree when he goes on a walk with our dog at around 7am (yeah, you read right, that early) to reserve it. Our dog is a German Spitz Klein and he gets hot very quickly, so we need shade for him and of course we also go back to the apartment before 12pm to avoid the heat. I think everyone should do that, because you get sunburn very easily from 12 to 3pm. Not to mention the fact that I'm allergic to all kinds of sunscreen, natural ones as well (trust me, I've tried them all), so I can't really risk being out there when the sun's the strongest. Even though I've never been sunburn in my life, thanks to my very concerned parents and a bit of luck with my skin type.

We've been going to the same place in Croatia for my whole life and to be honest I quiet like it in some ways. For one there is no Wi-Fi except for the one at the reception-room, so I really get to do other things than spending my days on the Internet, for example read (I read five books in those two weeks, one of them in French which I'm very proud of) and swim a lot. I don't know about you, but I really don't like public pools, because they're always crowded and I don't know why I always have this feeling that the water isn't very clean. Maybe it's just me being weird about it haha. But I really do love swimming and it is very helpful with my blood sugar, so I always spend as much time as possible in the water when we're on the beach. The sea was also very warm, it had 28 degree Celsius! Some people weren't so happy about it, because they thought it was too warm to cool down in it, but since I get cold all the time it was basically perfect for me. I didn't quiet like the air temperatures though as we had more than 33 degree Celsius every day and more than 25 degree Celsius at night. Of course mosquitoes had no mercy for me either, so just imagine sleeping in these kind of conditions.
 Over all I was very active there and I spent much more time with Medi (that's our dog not to confuse you) and my family. Don't get me wrong, I take him out for a walk every day even during school, but with studying and other activities I don't get to play with him that much and teach him some tricks. 

Socialising with other people was a bit difficult though, because there were mostly families with little kids and a lot of German speaking ones. Sadly I don't know much about German beside " Guten Morgen" and "eins, zwei, drei ", so I couldn't really make conversation with anyone. That's one thing that I did miss, because I'm kind of in that phase where I really want to meet new people even though I'm very shy. Doesn't make much sense, but I guess I need to practice approaching them.
All in all it was very relaxing and fun vacation. I forgot to mention that the sea was also very clear. On the days when it was calm you could see the bottom just like through a window. I will add some of my attempts capturing it, because it was truly amazing. I hope that you're having a great summer vacation too wherever you are. I would love to hear about your experiences and let me know if you ever been to Croatia. Thank you so much for reading!
