Monday 9th October. There had been some rain last night but, thankfully, the weather cleared and we woke to blue sky, sunshine and a lovely cool breeze. We quickly hightailed it down to the Old Town to have a walk through the medieval city before the crowds set in. The place was packed yesterday afternoon… More
Sunday 7th October. The weather was overcast and rain was threatening when we woke but we managed to fit in a walk before breakfast. We were surprised to see that we weren’t the only ones dining in the hotel’s breakfast room and so, clearly, we weren’t alone at the Hotel Saudade, Gradac. I consider our stay… More
Saturday 6th October It was a bit overcast for our final morning in Split and there had been some early drizzle but this cleared enough to let us get in our walking walk. We left the apartment at 10 am for the two hour drive down the coast to our next stop at Gradac. This… More
Friday 5th October It was another glorious morning and we are thankful for the great weather we’ve had on our trip thus far, today marking three full weeks, as we’ve only had one day where we’ve needed umbrellas, and, even that wasn’t for too long. We headed out for our morning walk and took this… More
Thursday 4th October We were a little slow getting going this morning but we fitted in a morning walk along the promenade to the pebble beach. It was another glorious morning and my only issue was that the quick turn in temperature to the upside, whilst most welcome, left me little prepared with my wardrobe. We’d… More
Wednesday 3rd October. It was a spectacular morning for our last morning walk in Zadar; mild, sunny, no breeze and calm waters. We did a loop of the Old Town and I’d previously suggested this might take an hour but it is just on 45 minutes. We packed up and left by 9.30 am for our… More
Tuesday 2nd October It was a slow start for us today but we finally set off for our morning walk by about 8.30 am. Part of the itinerary for this walk was to stop off at the markets to buy items for a home dinner; we had such a fantastic view from our large balcony… More
It was a beautiful sunny morning when we woke but, at 2 degrees, it was too cold for a walk. So we set off at 8.30 am to make our way for the 2 hour drive to Zadar. We’d noted yesterday how the cluster of low rise buildings in the area reminded us of ski… More
Sunday 30th September Mr Zarko arrived promptly at 9 am to drive us out to the airport and we collected our car without any problems. We set off for the 2 hour drive to Plitvice National Park with the plan being to drop the car and luggage at our lodging and then spend the afternoon taking… More
Friday 28th September. Our walking tour today was not until 11 am and so that gave us plenty of time to have a slower paced morning but still with an early walk. Mark and I had just been talking about how foreign Croatian is to our ears and how strange it is that the language… More
