Day 1 means getting to the airport, check in, security and customs, all much improved with little waiting so you can get to the gate quicker so you can wait longer there. Far more civilised, even made a new friend. Then sit on planes for 24hrs.En savoir plus

Jour 3
Senj
24 juillet 2019, Croatie ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
For centuries, Senj was the major city and port in the region, with a strong fort, walled city and determined people. They held off Venetian forces from the north and Ottoman forces from the south.
Its downfall as the major town was the railway, too hard to build to here so trade moved to a port the railway reached.
The old fortress on the top of the hill is a dominant landmark. Below this is the old town, well worth wandering through.En savoir plus

Jour 4
A day of life on the Croatian coast
25 juillet 2019, Croatie ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
A day on the Croatian coast starts with coffee, of course. Then it's time for a swim. By then, it's time for lunch. What do you do after lunch? Watch the yachts race passed at snail speed, then go for a swim. Before you know it, it's beer o'clock. After that, sit back and watch the sunset, guess where the planes above are flying from and to, watch the stars, spot the satellites and, if you're lucky, maybe a meteor.
What do you do the next day? The same all over again. It's a tough life.En savoir plus

Jour 5
Krk
26 juillet 2019, Croatie ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
From Senj, we gaze every day at Croatia's largest island, quite popular for summer holidays for people from nearby countries. Today was time to visit. The island has several towns, dating back hundreds of years.

Australians can only have utes, SUVs and V8s, according to our Prime Minister, so they can haul their caravans to their favourite camping site every weekend so any infrastructure to support electric cars is laughable. What a goose. Meanwhile, in the tiny, ancient city of Vrbik, they are putting in charging stations, just like so many other places in the world, other than Australia.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Velebit Mountains
29 juillet 2019, Croatie ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
South of Senj are the Velebit Mountains and National Park, reaching the rugged coastline. There are several walking trails through the region. I'm in Croatia to experience Croatia so that's the challenge for today.

What I wasn't told until we were well on our way was that this is European Brown Bear territory and perhaps also a few wild boars best avoided. Whilst we saw some fresh scratchings in the ground to let us know we were not alone, no animals were harmed in the making of this trip, i.e. if the bears saw us, they kindly let us pass in blissful ignorance.En savoir plus

Jour 13
Zagreb 1
3 août 2019, Croatie ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Some of the sights of Zagreb.

Sometimes, if you have to briefly park illegally for a quick drop off, the middle of the road is actually the best place to stop. The trams definitely go around you if you park ar the kerb.

I skipped the Muzej Prekinutih Veza and even the chocolates they were selling for fear of becoming their newest exhibit. They also had "bad memory" erasers.

The red umbrellas at the market have a long history in the region.

And I'm quite happy with a banana instead of Apple.En savoir plus

5 août 2019, Croatie ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Some more shots from Zagreb. St Mark's Church and Zagreb Cathedral are quite impressive. Cyclists in Zagreb have extra challenges due to the trams coming up behind them and the kerb-side tram tracks.

It was Victory Day public holiday in Croatia, I believe in recognition of a key victory in their path to independence after the break up of the former Yugoslavia. We were treated to an unexpected (by us) parade almost to our table, by the Royal Cravats as part of their changing of the guard display held on weekends and public holidays during the summer months.En savoir plus
