Around Pirovac

Lovely lazy day today. No travel.

We got up fairly late, or at least fairly slowly, after a pretty restless night. It was windy overnight and we had left a towel on the line which flapped all night but we'd also drunk slightly more than usual and my bladder/prostate made me pay for it. A sign of the times I'm afraid.

Anyway, after breakfast we made lunch and then set off on our bikes for the nearest town. We were going to go a bit further afield but the nearest road is very busy/fast so we took the advice of some fellow campers from the Netherlands that we had seen cycling yesterday and they told us about a back route that we could use, but only as far as the nearest town.

It was a pretty good route. Mainly dirt tracks but also some back roads. On the way we saw a big snake on the side of the path - at least 4 ft long. (We checked when we got back... it was a four-lined snake - the largest snake in Croatia but not venomous).

We reached Pirovac on the coast pretty easily. It is not much to write home about I'm afraid... there is clearly a lot of money floating in the marina but not much of it seems to have made its way into the town. Not sure why. We found a cashpoint, which we needed because this campsite is cash-only, had lunch and a swim on the beach just out of town, then cycled home again.

Lovely sunset this evening.Read more
