Bakar

The town consists of the wonderful old town, which rises steeply along the slopes beside a Frankopan castle (16th century), and of a more modern part of the town situated along the coast. Bakar was once an important trade port, and a fishing, winegrowing, shipbuilding and maritime centre. A maritime school was opened there long ago in 1849, graduating many sailors. In the last 15 years, Bakar has resumed steps towards developing tourism to the high standards of that in the surrounding area. In its more recent past, it was a centre for tuna fishing in the northern Adriatic and the town receives many foreign visitors.

Living room tiles

Today we finally removed the old wooden floor from our living room. We're going to put in white stone tiles instead. Aren't they beautiful? The wooden floor just didn't "fit" into our vision of the new living room. I'll let you know when the tiles are placed. :)

Our home

Welcome to our home! This is the entrance hall. We rescued this rug and chair from throwing away and the cabinet was purchased on sale and then painted over. The terracotta pot is from our local garden center.
