Today was a day of travel, as will be the next 2 as well. We had a taxi pick us up at the apartment at 11:30, bus to Vela Luka, Korkula (west end of the island) at 12:15-1:20pm, and ferry ride to Split at 1:45-4:30. This was the nicest Adriatic ferry we have been on. The AC worked really well, and it was newly decorated. Only bad part was a group of restless 30+ 4thgraders who were very loud! We arrived in Split on time at 4:30pm in the afternoon. We were met by the sobe owners, husband and wife team, so nice, who dragged our bags along the waterfront and up into the old town apartment… only a couple of stairs on the whole trip! They gave us a beer on the patio while they ... read more

De Hvar, nous avons pris un traversier de 2 heures jusqu'à Split, 2ème plus grande ville de Croatie. Outre le fait qu'elle est sur le bord de la mer, la raison principale de visiter cette ville est le palais de Dioclétien, une ancienne résidence construite par l'empereur romain du même nom en l'an 305. Selon Wikipédia, c'est l'un des édifices de l'Antiquité tardive les mieux conservés Ce n'est pas vraiment un palais, c'est plus une petite et jolie vieille ville où l'on retrouve maintenant majoritairement des restaurants, cafés et magasins ainsi qu'un flot incessant de touristes japonais à travers les petites rues étroites. Le Lonely Planet mentionne que le tourisme de masse n'a pas encore atteint cette ville, j'ose pas imaginer quand ça va être le cas. Oui je sais, je suis un touriste moi aussi, ... read more

Today was a slow start to the morning for most of the group. Eventually we organized ourselves and 3 of our 4 rental cars went out to visit the city of Split. The problem with travelling with such a large group is that immediately everyone went their separate ways without thinking about where the drivers were. Fortunately neither of us need to worry about that because Mike's a driver and Elysia is never forgotten! Fortunately we found two others from the group, Sezen (from Germany) and Drew (from the US) so they didn't have to worry about rides either! We just spent time exploring the old city centre. Split is the second biggest city in Croatia. We didn't really know all that much about the city when we got there, and were so surprised to see ... read more

On Wednesday morning we left rainy and cool london to spend a week in warm and sunny croatia. This time at least we weren't the only ones up so early. We organized this trip with 20 of Mike's friends from CTLS (for those who don't know, its the transnational legal program that he is studying with in London), and we rented a big house by the beach, so that they could study (and in some cases, take) their exams. Elysia was the lucky one who got to benefit from all the school's social events, as well as this trip, and not actually have to do the work. Needless to say, so far there has been some work done a whole lot of fun. We spent the night before we left at some of Mike's classmates, Rome, ... read more

GÜN 12 GÜNLERDEN PAZARTESİ: Yine erken uyandım Kahvaltımı yaptım Artık kahvaltı yapmadan yola çıkmıyorum. Böylesi daha iyi oluyor. Nefes kesen manzaralar arasından bizim "Şahbaz" (Minibüs ) akıp geçiyor. Bu Hırvatların daha çok şansı var . Buraya yazıyorum… 10 yıl içinde burada artık araç süremezsiniz… MIO ya kendimi teslim ederek yola çıktım eski GPS ( Nermin' i) check etmek açısından kullanıyorum. Erken saatte hedefim olan Zadar Borik kampına geldim. Yeşil de "ton sur ton" kullanıyorlar… Tam yüznumaranın yakınında ağaçların altına kuruldum. Daha önce yazmıştım… yerleştiğinizde mümkün olduğu kadar sağlık tesislerine yakın olmak gerek . Banyo,Tuvalet,mutfak,çamaşır vs gibi günlük gereksinimlere çok uzak kalmamak gerek .. Yıkanmak burada bedava imiş.… b... read more

Thursday, October 13 We left Zadar at 8:00 am and motored for 30 minutes to the town of Preko on the island of Ugljan. From there we biked south, across a large bridge to the island of Pasman. We continued our undulating ride south along the coast to the town of Tkon where we had to load the bikes in a hurry as the ferry was due and we were using its slip. We left the dock heading south to an unknown (by us and the crew) town because the weather was changing and the proposed destination might be too windy to stay there. Eventually, we cruised for 3-1/2 hours back to Primosten where we spent the night. We wandered the town, this time going along the seawall out around the north part of town. There ... read more

Day 1 - Saturday We awoke Saturday morning to a much quieter town after the previous night's thunder storm. The weather was cooler, but sunny, clear and very pleasant. We had arranged for our host to drive us to Trogir where we were to embark on our week-long bicycle cruise of the Dalmatia coast National Parks with islandhopping.com. It was a struggle to load our 4 large, 3 medium and three small pieces of luggage into his car. When we arrived in Trogir Old Town (anther Unesco heritage site), we found the Magellan, checked in, then sat in a cafe to have some coffee. Afterwards, Jill and Maureen went for a walk while Fred and I sat for a time watching the goings on up and down the wharf. We boarded at 12:30 and got settled ... read more

Thursday morning after arriving in Split, we left the ship to find our apartment. We found the gate door entry at Solurat 22 quite quickly as we knew what area it was in. It's situated about a block from the water on a hillside so it has a view of the water from the garden patio. Next, we went through the Old Town including the Palace of Diocletian. We returned to the ship for our last cruise lunch, packed the last items in our bags and disembarked. The cruise ship continued on to Venice without us as we must board our next cruise in Trogir, next to Split, on Saturday morning. On the dock, I flagged down a taxi which took Fred, Maureen and our considerable amount of luggage, to the apartment. Jill and I walked ... read more
