Zapresic, Croatia


We spent 7 days in our home exchange in Zapresic, Croatia.  We experienced a heat wave during the first 5 days, followed by a welcomed thunder storm and rain!

During our time we crossed through to Slovenia to visit the Lake Bled and also go to an aquatic centre. We had to laugh each time crossing the border and needing to get our passports stamped.

One day we did a drive up Mount Mikulic (by accident) looking for some bat caves.  We had a lovely picnic and beautiful view from the top before heading back down the mountain to find the bat caves on the other side of the mountain, near the bottom.  After walking up hill in 38° we loved standing in the cave which was only 10° to cool off! The photos inside the cave didn’t turn out very well, but there were heaps of bats, 8 different species.

There was also a visit to the Neanderthal Museum. The museum had lots in visual shows and wax figures.  There is also an actual excavation site a short walk along a path from the museum.


Like always our home exchange was fantastic! Our apartment was above some local shops, had air conditioning (very positive with the hot weather) and interesting toys for the kids.
