To be continued...Nastavlja se.....Hutovo Blato, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Turns out that I needn't have brought the puffer jacket along with me when I visited Hutovo blato (nature and bird resort in Herzegovina). That problem was easily solved. I just left the jacket in the car and  set about to explore this amazing nature park. So, what if I have been there before? Every visit is like the first one. Nature is never the same you know. Neither are its residents. I may have mentioned that Hutovo blato is a home to about 240 migratory bird species. Yes, 240! If you're a bird lover, this is a must place to visit. Even if you aren't, you might very well enjoy it. This Mediterranean swamp stole my heart years ago. It is located near the boarder with Croatia, so you might just be able to smell the sea salt in the air. If you're curious about my previous visits feel free to visit my old posts here, here, here and here.

Ispada da nisam trebala ponijeti ovu debelu jaknu sa sobom kada sam zadnji put posjetila Hutovo blato (park prirode i ptičji rezervat u Hercegovini). Taj se problem lako riješio, jednostavno sam ostavila jaknu u autu i krenula u istraživanje ovoga nevjerojatnoga parka prirode. Pa što ako sam tamo već bila? Svaki posjet je kao prvi. Priroda nikada nije ista znate, pa ni njeni stanovnici. Možda san spomenula da je Hutovo blato dom oko 240 ptica selica. Da, 240! Ako volite ptice, morate posjetiti ovo mjesto. Čak i ako ga ne volite,  mogli biste u njemu uživati. Ova mediteranska močvvara mi je davno ukrala srce. Smještena je blizu granice s Hrvatskom, tako da čak možete osjetiti more u zraku. Zanimaju li vas moji prijašnji posjeti ovome mjestu, slobodno posjetite moje stare objave za koje sam vam poveznice (to jest linkove) ostavila u engleskome dijelu teksta.

I have eaten in this restaurant Karaotok a few times, so I can recommend it. The restaurant Karaotok is actually a part of a hotel but I can't say what the accommodation is like because I have never spent a night there. I imagine it is really peaceful. Now, when I think of it, an idea of spending the night in nature park really appeals to me. I might try to convince my significant other to give it a try. Speaking of which, the reason why two of us were here that day to celebrate my birthday. Some of you might now that was last Spring (as I said numerous times here I'm a Taurus). Why did I wait so long to share these photographs? I'm not sure, for they are actually one of my favourite  outfit photos ever taken. I do like this outfit. When it comes to unpredictable (transitional) weather, layering is the way to go. 

Par puta sam jela u ovom restoranu Karaotok, tako da ga mogu preporučiti, a on dolazi u sklopu hotela kojega baš i ne mog jer nisam nikad tamo odsjela. Sigurno je vrlo mirno. Sada kada razmislim, voljela bi tu bar jednom prenoćiti.  Možda pokušam nagovoriti svoju bolju polovicu. Govoreći o njemu, razlog zašto smo nas dvoje tu bili toga dana je bilo da proslavimo moj rođendan. Neki od vas znaju da je to bilo prošloga proljeća (puno puta sam ponovila da sam bikica). Zašto sam tako dugo čekala da podijelim fotografije? Nisam sigurna, jer su mi zapravo jedne od najdražih fotografija neke odjevne kombinacije. Sviđa mi se ova kombinacija. Kada je u pitanju nepredvidljivo (prijelazno) vrijeme, slojevito odijevanje je zakon. 

 

As I said, I ditched the jacket very early on....and soon I discovered that the blazer was one clothing item too much. That's Herzegovian sun for you. Very potent stuff. I'm not complaining because I do love the sun. Today I returned from Split and Mostar seemed much too cold for my liking. The snow on the mountains didn't exactly warm my heart either. I'm appreciative of the beauty of Autumn, but I can never get rid of my fear of cold. This fear is pretty silly considering where I live now. Mostar is almost just as warm as Split, still sometimes I miss the Adriatic. Perhaps that is why I love this place so much. Its currents meet the Adriatic sea, someplace deep under. It is like Herzegovina and Dalmatia all in one. I really can smell the sea here. This swamp never ceases to mesmerize me. It is such a peaceful place, but at the same time, it is so full of life (if you know where to look). It might just be one of my favourite locations in all Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nhat to visit when you arrive in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, more about that tomorrow. To be continued....

Kao što sam rekla, vrlo brzo sam se riješila jakne, a uskoro sam otkrila da je i sako previše. To vam je hercegovačko sunce, jako moćna stvar. Ne da se žalim jer volim sunce. Danas kada sam se vratila iz Splita u Mostar bilo je malo prehladno za moj ukus. Snijeg na planinama nije mi baš ugrijao srce. Divim se ljepoti jeseni, ali se ne mogu prestati bojati hladnoće. Glup strah s obzirom gdje živim sada, jer Mostar je skoro iste klime kao i Split. Ipak nekad mi nedostaje more. Možda zato toliko volim ovo mjesto. Njegove struje spajaju se s Jadranskim morem negdje duboko ispod. Doista mogu tu osjetiti more. Ova močvara me nikada ne prestaje začarati. To je tako mirno mjesto,a  opet tako puno života znate li gdje gledati. No, više o tome sutra. Nije još gotovo.....
