... and making sure we had everything we needed.

Just went and had a short walk around and baked trout dinner at Serum which was a cool little place like being in someones living room.
Went to a couple of bars afterwards and found out why it was so quiet in Split - Sunday is the "day of the dead" (the way the barman in the first bar explained it to me) which is the day of the year that everyone visits the graves of their ...

... about to watch our second sunset here-it truly is a highlight so far for us. Originally we were only going to stay one night and drive into Split today, but the beauty of having Fred means that is we like a place, we can stay longer :) Our third campsite in Croatia is by far the best; I had to really force myself away from doing nothing to write this! Although I have to admit that I have a million dollar view while writing it :)

... set into the sea.

Well those were the towns and lets just say that Croatia is a beautiful country. Many a time it was I could take a photo of this and that (which I did) and just having heaps of fun. Made a heap of friends who luckily live in London so there will be plenty of catchup drinks in the near future.

Sail Croatia .... do it .... hell yes ... but maybe about 2 months earlier, so that when you swim it will because it is damn hot and not just because you felt obliged.

... but, both anchorages were quite full when we approached around 5pm, so we head to old reliable Ravni Zakan dropping the hook off of the south island in 4m of water. The rangers eventually came to collect the park fee at which we had paid at a reduced rate at the marina before departing.

We were back in the water for a snorkel before making sundowners and enjoying one of Lisa ...

... 8217;s southern wall along the popular palm-lined seaside promenade known as the Riva or Obala Hrvatskog Preporoda, it’s easy to see why Diocletian chose this strategic seaside location. With good access to Mediterranean trade routes and coastal mountains that protected it from invasion, the impressive palace was perfectly situated.

From the Riva, you enter the Bronze Gate. It’s a short walk to the barrel-vaulted basement on the ground floor. Despite ...

... really does have it's own subculture, filled with fascinating people. So in conclusion, thanks for reading. For those of you have been leaving comments, thank you so much - at the risk of sounding sappy, I've loved reading them and knowing you've been following along with my journey. I can't wait to see you all when I come home, and I'll post pictures on facebook. Well some of them. I don't think any of you want to see all 400 of them. Can't wait to see you all!

... Euros or your donkey bites it." Some of the on lookers commented to me that that phrase was "too American" and would almost certainly point to me as the guilty party. I was one of three Americans amongst 40 other Aussies, Kiwis and Brits. So after some good advice I rewrote it to read "20 Euro or the donkey gets it!" Perfect, more Aussie like and sure to keep the scent off of me. When Ioan got back on the bus he immediately noticed the ransom note and ...

... Jim and I walked around the town - we did a little shopping - had to spend the rest of our Kuna's. We ran into MaryLu and Hal - and had a nice chat with them - then Jim had a gelato - (Yes - they have it here and it is good McTaggart - and to answer your question - I don't think we have put on any weight - if anything we might be a little down - it is due to all of the walking. It sounds like we are eating a lot - but not as much as you would think - our pants are ...

... to nature. On our decent, we came upon wild goats hanging off the cliff's edge munching on the trees that grew between the solid rock. Justin wanted to join the goats, but Jamie told him he wasn't wearing the right set of hooves for hanging on the hillside. None the less, the wildlife sighting added to the allure of the place. To top it all off, we happened upon an amazing restaurant that served up the best seafood we have had in this region yet. We dined on melt in your ...

... man that started chatting with me last night at dinner. We communicated in English and Italian. Come to find out, he-s an actor. Well, he works in a bank but fancies himself a theatre actor. He decides it-s "fate" that we met and we should "carpe diem". He says, "wee both een film, wee both love too traavel, you are beeeutifool, eet ees fate!". When I said that I have a boyfriend, he looked at me as if I was ...
