The Story

14082025: My legs were so tired today after yesterday's long walk to the beach. Eyes were tired too which could be from sleeping directly under the airconditioning. We searched on Google Map for a breakfast place and found Breadclub which unfortunately don't offer breakfast. As per its name, it sells bread only. The bread looks very tasty! We walked to a few cafes and found out they sell coffee only. The 'drink-coffee' culture is strong in Croatia. There don't seem to be a demand for food together with coffee. Very different from in Sweden where coffee is usually accompanied by something sweet - the fika culture. 

Finally, we found a cafe that serves breakfast! So happy that we don't need to walk further under the heat. Thank you for existing, Desiree Cafe!

The Story

13082025: Our morning activities started with breakfast at Dovac market. It was a lovely morning walk as it was not scorching hot yet. We passed by a giant tie in town and eventually, I found out that the idea of neckties originated from Croatia. 

Summary of the history. Once upon a time, Croatian soldiers wore scarves knotted in a special way and joined the French army. French became inspired and made a fashion out of it. The word 'cravat' comes from the Croatian word 'Hrvat'.  

Behind the giant tie is the town's funicular which is under renovation so we could not ride on it. Sad. 

Yay, we reached Dovac market. Sellers have set up their stalls. It was empty yesterday evening when we walked through it.

We found a random cafe located in one of the buildings surrounding the market. It was nice to see the market's activities. It got hot quite quickly.
