Heading north from Nin brought us to the end of Dalmatia. For the last month, we’ve been in just one region of Croatia – and it’s been beautiful. As we started to turn the dog-leg that’d bring us into the … Continue reading →

Posted on July 8, 2012 by EllieGee

A high wind on Murter

Posted on July 4, 2012 by AdrianC

They say it’s an ill wind which blows no good. On Murter, we firmly disagreed. Murter, we’d heard, was a very pleasant little island, between Šibenik and Zadar. Since it’s joined to the mainland by a bridge, so no need … Continue reading →

Let’s Split

Posted on June 25, 2012 by AdrianC

There’s one golden rule for this trip, it seems – every presumption and supposition you make will instantly be proven utterly wrong. And so it was when we got to Split’s campsite. All last summer, everybody had been friendly, but … Continue reading →

Posted on June 19, 2012 by EllieGee

Colourboration – going round in circles

Posted on June 16, 2012 by EllieGee

Out on a limb

Posted on June 15, 2012 by AdrianC
