Long drives along Dalmatian Coast
We drove from Split to Dubrovnik along the coastal highway, liked it so much we decided to drive the coast all the way back to Rovinj with an overnight stay in Zadar. The drive from Dubrovnik to Zadar took six hours or so and the drive north of Zadar to Rovinj was about an hour less.

Malinska snorkelling!
... but with toxicly orange pasta sauce which we then all had smeared round our chops for the rest of the day)
Time for a wander so strolled round 'town' for a bit and bought a proper snorkel. Woohoo time to test it out so back in the sea!! Got to see loads more with the snorkel in place, even spotted a cool electric blue swordfish eel type fish and a load of sea cucumber things.
