Croatia

Well sorry for not many posts recently, but been in Croatia, then whilst home busy at work, wathing the footy, sorting out cleaning (yuk) and then suffering from cold - which i feel terrible from and tempted not to go to work - lets see how things go ...

Anyway in Croatia, Kim and I flew out on the saturday morning with easyjet from Gsatwick, ok flight if a little early. Then hired a car, and drove to Trogir, fairly easy as only 8k away from the airport. We stayed there and grabbed some nice pizza for lunch watching the boats in the harbour and then got some basic supplies at the market and supermarket and headed to our apartment.

The apartment was ok, but a few things not as expected. The bathroom was small, but okish, one of those things with pictures. Also there was no overall door to the apartment it was 3 rooms at the top of the landing. Um. But the balcony was big and fantastic views.

So we just settled in and had a nice night watching the world go buy whilst having some of our wares on the balcony. Next morning, birthday .... yeah. So got my pressies, a few books and some ashes cufflinks (must be tough for an aussie to get those, although she said it was special as we wont win them again for years).

Next day we made use of the car and travelled round the Island of Ciovo and settled in Slatine on the other side of the island, at a beach. Had some nice lunch and then came back and crashed. Then we watched Australia lose gallantly to Brazil.

Monday didn't really do much except visit Trogir, look around and book a boat trip for the Wednesday. We basically spent the afternoon sitting on the harbour with a nice beer, or 2, and reading. In the evening we went to a nice restaurant and had great bbq'd fish.

more later ....
