Blogs from Pag, Dalmatia, Croatia, Europe

Dobra Dan to you this fine morning - Good morning from Otok Pag . Pag island in Croatian. It is another day and a fine one at that . The weather has gradually crept up over the last few day and the sun now beats down upon us. We feel like we have finally arrived . This year though we have managed on the way down to take in some sights. Hopefully this will continue as we move ever so slowly southwards towards Bosnia . We extricated ourselves from our stopover . Whilst Glenn unhitched Gabby I set off to pay. It's a long way back following the red line passing the mini market , the bicycle hire shops and the hairdressers along the way. If I turned right instead of left and carried on for ... read more

Efectivamente fue una noche muy fría, terminé durmiendo en el carro y me desperté dos veces en la noche a prender la calefacción por un rato para calentarme y poder seguir durmiendo; por la mañana vimos unas revistas turísticas de la zona y nos enteramos que estábamos en plena región montañosa. Al despertarnos agarramos camino a Pag, al llegar a la isla nos metimos en la primera playa que se nos atravesó en el camino, daba la sensación de estar en un lago, estaba rodeada de cerros, había piedritas como en todas las playas de Croacia y el agua estaba helada, pero estaba linda. Cuando azotó el hambre nos fuimos a uno de los pueblos de la isla y almorzamos en una pizzeria y luego conseguimos otra playa que estaba hermosa, las piedras eran muy claras ... read more

Hello from the overcast and windy Croatian island of Pag! Unfortunately Croatia hasn't turned on the special treatment for us today but the steamy weather is still enough to see me walking around in bathers and a kaftan. The streets are quite busy here, with quad bikes and scooters, mopeds and rollerbladers - its a town that doesn't seem to sleep! ...and in parts in quite literally doesn't! We arrived here last night at about 8pm and at 11 a group went to a '24-hour beach' which includes built in bars and dancefloors, 6 inch deep in water which everyone goes crazy splashing around in! Our group of friends prefered a AUD$9 bottle of Champagne and a patio-chat - as we're all connected by one massive verandah (5 rooms or so). Tonight though we are going ... read more

Well. Hello. Sorry its been such a long time coming. I did actually catch this blog up in Barcelona about 8 days ago, but the computer crashed and deleted all my work. Very annoying. So, Im currently in Croatia, with a key board where the keys for Z and Y are back to front, so I apologise if I get it wrong. But, back to where I left off last. We left Naxos and headed back to Athens on the ferry, and checked back into our hostel. We had nothing to do, and everything was closing, so we went to the cinema! We saw United 93, about the plane that crashed on 9/11, and in the middle of the film, the screen came up with INTERMISSION and the film stopped and the people walked out for ... read more

Bok! Things in our rental car are progressing northward. It's been quite fun and we have only a few more days of action. Again, no pictures but I promise I will backfill all of them when I get time after Plitvice, so the wait will be worth it because it will be complete with photos and small videos! Travel Update: After Korcula, we ferried back to Orebic and made it up the coast slowly towards Omis, where we slept (just outside of Split). We explored Krka National Park for the afternoon and then motored up to the island of Pag, staying in Pag town on Saturday night. We are going to stay here again on Sunday night and then head really early to Plitvice National park to explore Monday. Our car rental ends after that and ... read more
