Arba Rab

Just spent all day yesterday at the beach, alternating between sleeping on the shore and lazing on a lie-low on the ocean. beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, clear blue ocean. exactly what we all needed to recharge after 15 days of non stop moving around. I think everyone that got swineflued is now recovered, so we should be good to go for the next 12 days :( until the end of the trip.

Pag, Zadarska, Croatia ellemojo

... old Pension/pub for a couple of nights.

Back to Czech for a couple of days to regroup and copious amounts of laundry! Road trip to Croatia was pretty long - took us around 10.5 hours..sure it seemed a lot longer for Jarrad who drove the entire way.

Well worth it though. We have decided to leave the main island and Island hop to the bottom of Croatia ...

... y trouve les anciennes maisons des officiers de marine, de nombreux bateaux de plaisance ainsi que des petits chantiers navals.

Comme toute nouvelle arrivée, nous partons à la recherche d'une chambre et d'un comptoir pour acheter nos billets pour le prochain catamaran :
- 1er arrêt | Office de Tourisme : "Pour les chambres, il faut aller demander à l'agence de location après la Poste".
- 2e arrêt | Point info dans un bar : "Vous avez une ...

... had to at least wear pants..hehe. I went snorkelling at one stage, naked of course and came across about 1000 tiny fish... it then got me worried where they might swim and I had to cross my legs and swim with my arms only after that!

Our 2nd full day we woke up to a lot of wind and I was worried our pop up top would rip off so i pulled it down and top and tailed with kathleen downstairs. The wind didnt let up ...

... les poissons et éviter les piqûres d'oursins. Le paysage côtier est magnifique et l'eau limpide. Nous répèterons l'opération 1h30 de marche plus loin, puis sur le chemin du retour.

Cette journée nous a ouvert l'appétit : dîner dans une "spaghetteria" sur le port accompagné d'un succulent vin blanc et retour à la chambre pour une bonne nuit.

... toujours voir la chambre avant d'accepter, les tarifs sont peut-être moins élevés que ceux pratiqués par les agences de location mais peuvent réserver des surprises!

2ème conseil : préférer les agences de location car les chambres sont classées en étoiles. Vous pouvez également vous fier aux panneaux accrochés aux façades des maisons. Si vous êtes à pieds, les catalogues proposés ...

Great little place to relax, with plenty of beaches (topless, nude or otherwise), hiking, boating and more. Heavily touristed by northern Europeans, with lots and lots of skin on the beaches and boats, and a very interesting medieval town made for wandering tourists.

A short catamaran ferry ride and we landed in the town of Novalja on the nearby island of Pag but it is a world away from the quiet medieval Rab! Here the promenade was filled with tourist stalls one after the other; bars and restaurants blaring out their music, and all filled with people doing their best to consume the island's supply of alcohol. It is not surprising that Pag has earned the title "Ibiza ...

... owner was out the front. I told her we thought her lakes were beautiful. I'm not sure what she thought I said but she said something about beer. I said that, yes, I had some upstairs and I would go and have one. She thought I said, yes you can get me a beer and I will have it upstairs. So we went up and two minutes later her son came up with two 1/2 litre bottles of beer opened for us. I was confused and it took us a few minutes to work out what happened. We thanked them ...
