... luxury Gulet charter sailing on our Aurum yacht, we can make your dreams came true!<br><br>Visit Croatia, a European country surrounded by hundreds of islands of the Adriatic sea &#8211; an ideal destination for yachtsmen. You can expect to find the Mediterranean as it once was: untouched ...

After we left the park, the drive down to where we are now was spectacular, although a bit different than I pictured Croatia to be-it is a lot rockier and a bit more like what we thought Greece would be like. Our second campsite was just before the town of Zadar in a town called Nin; we pulled in and this funny little man came up to us-there was no way we could say no to his smiling face even if the campsite was horrible! Luckily ...

Po podrozy przez pustkowia, z widokami ostrzelanych, opuszczonych domostw - dojechalismy na wybrzeze.<br>Jakaz zmiana! Widac, ze po tej stronie gor kwitnie turystyka.<br>Mieszkamy pieknie - apartament tuz za mostem staromiejskim, w 3 - 4 rzedzie domow na wzgorzu - z widokiem na Stare Miasto. I to jaki apartament! <br>Po przebrzmieniu okrzykow entuzjazmu - schodzimy przez ogrod na wyspe, na ktorej rozlozylo sie Stare Miasto ...

We exit the highway half way to Split and take the coast route. Dramatic coastal scenery with the mountains to the left and cliffs descending to the Adriatic Sea below. The coastline is full of quaint small towns and isolated SOBEs. This would make an inexpensive and idyllic area for those looking to escape (which Chris and I are doing the opposite). <br><br>We stop at ...

... panneau indiquant "lac salé". Situé à 5 minutes à pied de la baie, le lac Mir contient 2 fois plus de sel que la normale, la température de l'eau dépasse largement les 25°C et son niveau monte et descend au gré des marées. Une baignade s'impose. L'eau est en effet très chaude et salée : un vrai bain thermale!<br>Après ça, nous décidons de parcourir l'autre côté de la baie. Un sentier longe les ...

... we arrived at the garage in plenty of time for our 10 am appointment - it seems finding the garage may not be the hardest bit after all! Paul went into the garage, explained we had booked in, &amp; the lady on reception said that the chief mechanic would come &amp; look at her &amp; check what needs to be done! OK, we thought, but then as half an hour passed we started to get the impression he didn't want to come over to us, or even look at us or poor Winnie ...

... of the Hapsburgs. There are also many many pizza and pasta joints due to the proximity and historical power of the Italians, and in particular the Venetians. I think the Italians are also the instigators of the ice-cream-shop-every-100-metres rule. In Sibenik, I tried octopus for the first time (similar to calamari, but more tender), combined with zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and homemade pasta - yum!

... we learned from the few English speakers that BiH is very tolerant of Jews and anti-Semitism is pretty much non-existent in BiH. During their rue, the Ottomans opened their doors to the Jews during the Spanish Inquisition, thus paving the way for a large and vibrant Jewish community. Today, the Jewish community is very small, yet it still exists. But it was sad to hear one man at the table comment that, at current rates of births, deaths and emigration, the Jewish community ...

... There a huge mighty waterfall, or more exactly a wall of waterfalls (see the picture). And what's even more fun, we swam at the pool beneath it. After sunbathing and swimming (and sunbathing and swimming...) some more we got tired and drove back to the camp. (We discovered that there are disadvantages to having your tent right on the beach. The wind picked up in the evening, and when we turned our back on the tent it ...

... off, this area of the country tries its hardest to cater to tourists as locals are very friendly and more than willing to offer you a room in their home as accomodation. Elderly ladies swarm the ferry and bus stations offering their homes to backpackers and couples looking for a place to stay. Its hard to say No to them because they are so friendly and egar to help. Mike and I had our hearts set on camping however and found ourselves ...
