We have a failed attempt to see Hercules Gate and the Arch of the Sergii in Pula, in the morning but one way streets, lack of parking and traffic defeat us. All I get for […]
2018 Day 87 – Pula
The closer we get to Italy, the more prominent Roman footprints become. Nowhere is this more evident than in Pula, famous for its well preserved Roman monuments from the time it was known as the […]
2018 Day 86 – Family day in Rijeka
The morning is full of nervous energy, getting ourselves organised to visit my uncle Stipe. Apart from language, the biggest challenge will be finding parking for the motorhome in a busy, built up city. Our […]
2018 Day 85 – Onwards, to Rijeka
After the incredible highs of yesterday, surrounded by the sublime beauty of the Plitvice Lakes, today runs at a much more sedate pace. We’re traveling to Rijeka, to visit my uncle Stipe. It’s been around […]
2018 Day 84 – Plitvice Lakes
Yay! Today we finally get to see the stunning Plitvice Lakes. On the advice of our host, we aim to arrive before the tourist coach madness starts, so it’s an oh, so very early start. […]

2018 Day 82 – Zardar
We walk through time again today, in the beautiful city of Zadar. Whilst it’s a thriving and sprawling metropolis now, Zadar’s historic centre is set upon a narrow peninsula, sea on three sides. It too, […]
2018 Day 81 – Sibenik
It’s funny how the mind accepts a routine. Despite knowing full well that we’re not due home for another 6 weeks, as the day count nears 90 (our usual end point), I have a daily […]
2018 Day 80 – Trogir
Having fallen in love with Split, it’s another place we’re reluctant to leave. I’m fast coming to appreciate that the Dalmatian coast needs a trip of its own. There’s just so much to see and […]
2018 Day 79 – Hvar
Island day! If there were places perfectly suited to explore by boat, the Dalmatian coast is surely on the list. There are so many islands, so many harbours, so many places perfectly suited to berth, […]
