Weather Focus and False promises

Summer time is the season that we are dreaming on and longing for. This short but sweet period of the year is full of expectations and dreams.

Team Nikolovski experience As we reached the little Croatian village Komiza on the island Vis the dark had already fallen. The boiling hot temperature had calmed down and the whole island was quiet and calm. The sound when the waves meet the shore was the only sound to be heard.10 days to enjoy and relax in Komiza, vacation 2012 edition finally here. We fell asleep after a long day in the car tired, warm and very happy. Far too early husband suddenly wakes up from a very loud noise coming from outside.. What is going on and what is this? Big water sprinklers surrounding us at this time in the morning??
