We are heading now towards Dubrovnik where we are going to spend the rest of our stay in Croatia.  As the weather is getting a little chillier, we are renting a studio apartment.  We aim to continue to improve our Italian as our return to Italy is soon approaching and we are going to continueContinue reading “TRAVELLING TO DUBROVNIK”

A one night stay, turned into two nights.  What a camping spot we found in Primosten literally on the beach in amongst the trees.  A secluded area with idyllic surroundings for sitting outside the van barbequing, listening to the sea and watching the colourful sun sets; what a find. Our first day we took a 2km lovelyContinue reading “PRIMOSTEN”

Krka is significantly smaller than Plitvice lakes however, still beautiful.  I would say it is less crowded, a blessing as there is only one walking trail around the national park compared to Plitvices Lakes having multiple trails of varying lengths. The Krka National Park is home to 7 stunning waterfalls with the largest one being the SkradinskiContinue reading “KRKA National Park”

Our next stop was Zadar where we spent the next 3 days. Finding Campsites is more difficult now as we are out of season and need to research for sites that are open all year-round and there are not many available. The site we found was in a good location just outside of the centreContinue reading “ZADAR”

OUR NEXT FEW DAYS WITH DEE AND JIM Off we went back on the road with Jim and Dee heading towards Starigrad.  We planned a midway stop at a little harbour called Jablanac, such a quaint place.  We parked our vans a little out of the centre, unpacked our pre-prepared lunches, took our table and chairs downContinue reading “QUICK STOP AT JABLANAC THEN ONTO STARIGRAD NATIONAL PARK PAKLENICA”

Having done our research, KRK was a go to island recommended to visit. It lived up to our expectations and more. We chose an area called Baska, a spectacular nature area with one of the largest, 1800 meters, most beautiful pebble beaches of the Adriatic. The surrounding area has 16 hiking trails, ranging in difficulty,Continue reading “BASKA on the island of KRK”

We headed towards Zagreb choosing to stay in an apartment in the Jarun district, southwest of Zagreb centre. Our apartment was by Lake Jarun which has a cycle/walking track around the lake and a location where you can observe water sports such as rowing.  There are many bars and cafés located on the waterfront, a lovely locationContinue reading “ZAGREB”

Plitvicka Jezera From Pula we headed inland to an area of extreme beauty called Plitvicka Jezera home to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. We found a lovely campsite nestled in amongst the hill and forest, just down the road from the entrances of the National Park.  The site had spacious pitches sculptured and scattered across theContinue reading “Plitvice Lakes National Park”

We decided to rent an apartment in Pula as my daughter Selina and her partner Dom were visiting us for their holiday.  Also, Graham’s new granddaughter was due to be born around the same time leaving him to fly home without worrying about me being in a campervan. The apartment we rented was just on theContinue reading “PULA”

We moved onto Rovinj and I must say one of my favourite places of our visit so far.  Rovinj is on the west side of the Istrian peninsula and is a lovely historic fishing port. The old town has a maze of narrow streets with tightly packed colourful houses sprawling down to the seafront. The townContinue reading “ROVINJ”
