... luxury Gulet charter sailing on our Aurum yacht, we can make your dreams came true!

Visit Croatia, a European country surrounded by hundreds of islands of the Adriatic sea – an ideal destination for yachtsmen. You can expect to find the Mediterranean as it once was: untouched ...

... Waziutkie uliczki, zwykle pelne turystow oddychaja z ulga po sezonie.
Wprawdzie sa jeszcze zwiedzajacy, ale wiecej tu oryginalow... a moze po prostu bardziej ich widac?
Jak wspaniala para Amerykanow, wygladajacych jak z liustracji ksiazki?
Krazymy po uliczkach , zagladamy na targ - nie...to juz nie ta pora... puste skrzynki po rybach...
Wieczorkiem - dobre czerwone wino i , tradycyjnie, szachrujemy ;) w kosci!

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).

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!
Après ça, nous décidons de parcourir l'autre côté de la baie. Un sentier longe les ...

... sailing trip. We anchored in 15 feet on sand. Dove from the boat and swam to towards shore, Pierre got a few laps in...wow shoulders are sore and the sahpe is gone. Finally make it by 5PM to Pizchera marina for the overnight stop. Jour 8 - Pizchera to Kaprije - We wake up with 25-30 knot winds. Sunny tough. Getting out of the marina will be tricky with the wind but we made it and we were on our way to go meet the flotilla back that evening ...

A week for Francene in blissful Croatia - just lapping up the Sunshine!! and swimming my little butt off!! Perfect girls week, hanging out with Janeo, Al and Hermione (and the rest of the fantastic Swim Trek crew). Beautiful deep blue waters, coastal life and wonderful Croatian hospitality. Perfect chill out week. Swam everyday - island to island, and lazed back in the balmy twilight each evening...

... apt), lives down the street and works across the street in a plumbing shop. We drop our bags and have a drink on the square, walk around and thats about it. Notice that everyone speaks English..cause Croatian is not so easy to learn. There are so many shoe shops Mandys head is spinning in all directions.( huge Italian Mediterranean influence here) The currency here is the Kuna with a exchange rate of about 5 kuna per $ and everything is pretty cheap ...

... bombed out of it" (not my words, but can you hear the evidence of Australian eloquence) by the Yugoslav army during the war. It has to be said that I could not have summed it up better myself. Although there is evidence of some rebuilding there is also evidence of the atrocities that occurred here. The Yugoslav Army was the 4th best equipped in the world with regard to hardware, and by the looks of things, they were not afraid to use it. The Croat opposition on the other hand had ...

... the entire day, i managed to drag the celebrations out for three days, one night of dancing and celebrations, one day of eating brilliant comfort food all day long and the next evening a gorgeous seafood dinner!!!! Yum Yum!!! Anyway, back to those beaches, which, yes were lovely, but i just cant get used to the stones on the beach, its just so hard to get a good bum groove going...

... from our itinerary, but we took a good 2 or 3 minutes contemplating why it was we came to Croatia in the first place and saw that Hvar offered all we wanted so we should stay. Intrigued? Look at Shannon's list below and it should all be clear!! See ya ...
