Croatia, stunning countryside


Saturday 18 June

On Thursday 16th we drove to the north of Italy and into Slovenia and on to Croatia. It was a long day of driving and when we finally got to Croatia our Navman stopped working....no Croatia maps, yikes!  It makes you realise how dependant you are on technical devices when you don't have access to them. We took a few wrong turns, went back into to Slovenia twice and then finally made it to Rijeka, whew...one day we will laugh about it......maybe.   Friday 17th a new day and a beautiful coastal drive down to a small village called Serget  Donji,  just up the road from Trogir, about half an hour from Split where we have rented a friend's holiday house. How lucky are we, this is such a perfect spot.


The coastal drive was spectacular, what a land of stark contrast, deep blue water, craggy sheer amountains, amazing aqua blue water in little fishing bays and coves. The coast road to Split must be on a motorbike 'great rides' itinerary as we saw so many groups of bike tourers enjoying the coast.

We will be in Serget for six nights, the  apartment is  2mins walk  from the beach and marina, what a spot, it's magic. The charter boats leave here for the islands and there is just a constant stream of boats coming and going, great entertainment just sitting on the deck with a wine and taking it all in.

Very hot so swimming required daily.


Tomorrow more exploring.
