The Timemachine in Travnik is a retro heaven and a cafe enthusiasts Shangrila

Everything that I would not have expected to find is what has pleasantly surprised me here—a lovely and quiet Room with a huge comfy bed and a beautiful little outside seating area.

Downstairs at the Cafe Bar, I met the friendly staff and a kind owner. The Bar is a fancy cross-over version of retro furniture and modern world amenities. The walls are partly decorated with handwriting and comic-like paintings; a saxophone swings next to an old typewriter, a mobile device charging station with locks for safety, a tuba on the wall across a guitar, and many retro pictures—no chance of entering this wonderful place without a smile.

While staying in Pula, I took a day trip to Kap Kamenjak - a nature park that offers beautiful beaches and many activities along the coast. From hiking, motorbiking, or renting a bicycle to ride along the coastline, it's about 20 km long and filled with nature, beautiful beaches and lots of entertainment, such as kayaking, diving, beach bar entertainment, snorkel adventures, a campsite, caves and cliffs to jump off into the crystal clear water.

I rented a bicycle for 12 € + 4 € for a comfy gel saddle (highly recommended!!) - do not forget your ID, and if you are looking for an e-bike tour to hop on, you've found the right place! (Check out the link below for more information)

You may hear me saying this for the first time, but here it comes: "Shoes are recommended. :) Don't go on a bike with your sandals on those rocky roads. Plus, water and beachwear are the essentials for going here.

By the way the roads are marked quite well and it’s just a great way to spend a day out in about.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the route was marked, which made me enjoy the tour and beautiful coastline even more.

I am not sure if I said it already, but I was happy to pay 4 € extra to rent a comfortable, so-called grandma saddle.

Check out this place to rent a mountain bike or e-bike or hop on one of the daily e-bike group tours. I was absolutely blessed with the bike rental, and the staff gave me plenty of recommendations and information about the tour and which route to take.
