Croatia

The Croatian coast is beautiful! It’s easy to see why so many Europeans come here on their summer holidays. For our first few nights we stayed in a tiny campsite called Paridiso, right on the sea front. It was run by a Croatian guy called Mario, who made his introductions over homemade vino and his special “medicine“ drink. Very special. On our first night we met lots of fellow campers; including Yan and his wife a Polish couple who offered honey Vodka to everyone in the camp as “integration“. Some people’s hospitality in amazing, and on the last night a German family, whom we had just met, cooked us a grand BBQ dinner – a welcome change from noodles indeedy!

I brought my pirate boat with me to Croatia, and we used it to good effect invading lots of islands. From the safety and comfort of the mainland these islands usually seemed pretty close, but would often take us pirate wannabies hours to row out to. As such we decided engines are an awesome invention. You cant complain over a cheap form of island hopping though  Sadly we ended our trip in Croatia “sitting on the dock of the bay, watching our boat float away“ that might learn us to bring rope...doh. Anyhow tis Bosnia nx. Ciao for now. daves xx
