... for it!
Taking it easy again today, catching up on postcards, journal and facebook updates of course! missing everyone at home, and miss mama eddie who is back in sunny pommyland [and whom i had an interesting chat with a slightly worse-for-wear shano about last nite!]
Looking forward to Prague which I hear is beautiful, but will be sad to lose a few more topdeckers there.

... are still in the north and onto our second Island. Weather is superb and all the masses of tourists have gone home - so great pace..something about island life.

We have been eating loads of seafood but Jarrad is yet to catch us a fish - on the list of things to do!

Anyway here are the pics of our antics once again.

Au matin, petit déjeuner sur le port. Les boissons oscillent entre 6 et 12 kunas, ce qui est fort acceptable pour notre budget. Nous prendrons d'ailleurs l'habitude de petit-déjeuner de cette façon, en craquant parfois pour une pâtisserie locale.

Après avoir traversé l'île de Cres en autocar, nous arrivons à Mali Losinj (prononcé "Lojigne").
Plus touristique que Cres, Mali Losinj était le 2e port de l'Adriatique au XIXe siècle c'est pourquoi ...

... br>We then drove over to Krk Island to the resort of Baška... as I said before there were only 2 campsites and the one with shade was a naturists one so we thought ahh, why not. Hmmm, it was an experience.... there are some things you just dont need to see which is namely fat naked men with their things flapping around in the wind. We got brave enough to bare all on the beach but I couldnt quite get to walking around ...

... cyclable, qui devient un chemin, qui devient un sentier... jusqu'à ce qu'on perde sa trace! Nous continuons à l'aveuglette en suivant le littoral. L'eau turquoise nous attire comme un aimant, nous devons nous arrêtez pour piquer une tête!

En Croatie, maillots de bain, chaussures d'eau et masques sont nécessaires pour vaincre les rochers ...

... les agences vous permettront de vous faire une première idée, ce qui vous évitera de parcourir des kilomètres pour rien.

3ème conseil : les agences de location proposent toujours la chambre la plus chère. Insistez auprès d'elles, elles vous en trouveront toujours une, soi disant la dernière!

Pour nos 2 premières nuits ce sera : lit king size, salle de bain privative avec frigo d ...

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.

... Croatia".

We found another room with a view, watched the sunset over the harbour and then went to our room. It was quite a hilarious room with two single beds secured to the wall head to toe. Definitely a town to pass through.

The receptionist was a lovely lady who directed us to her favourite restaurant away from the crowds, with a really pleasant atmosphere and a meal to redeem the island.

What a wonderful way to spend a day on an island. We walked for miles along and in the water, stopping often to admire the view and marvel at the colour of the water; found a local man to talk to about his little bit of paradise and a local ice cream parlour with thatched coverings and amazing views to enjoy our ice cream just out of the midday sun; the local park for a lunch picnic; and later an obligatory espresso at one of ...

... East by November 1 (as I originally planned). I think it will be late November before I head out to India. If that is the case, I will need to remove Nepal from my itinerary. We will see what happens. My timeline is dependant on which visas I get. After reading through the book and doing some quick sight seeing, I made my way down to the port. I found my ferrzy without any issues. At 5 pm, we took off for Rab Island. It took about 2 hours to get there. As ...
