Photos to come later - have a look at links or wikipedia for pictures. Mileage: ~4300 Our final excursion in Romania was recommended to us, the Berca Mud Volcanoes. Having no idea what to expect (the word "mud" was never used!), we arrived and found the volcanoes to be bubbling mud! While examining the strange natural phenomenon, Lucy managed to fall in the volcano, covering her right leg in mud up to her waist. How we laughed... After a lot of driving, getting the car fixed after its sluggishness, a campsite where and campin [View Full Entry]

Being my last night in Croatia, I’ve decided to jot down a few of my general observations as my day was rather uneventful, quiet, and solitary. Croatia, particularly Zadar, is a café society. Zadar’s old town - not unlike the other cities we visited, but to a greater extent - is lined with endless rows of packed cafes that serve only beverages. Ice cream shops are also in abundance, and a scoop will set you back less than 1euro. Sandwiches, pizza, and pastries are the most readily available meal options. Zadar’s old town has a lot of graffiti - the first [View Full Entry]

Our 30 day rain-free streak was broken on Saturday as it started to spot as we stepped onto the boat in Zadar. Intermitent rain during the day turned to heavy rain overnight. The patter of rain on the deck invokes fond memories of vacations in England as a boy. Happy times. Our friends from Golden arrived on Saturday and will be crewing for the next two weeks. Zweigelt is a 38 foot Bavaria that we have chartered. In Europe a bare boat charter is exactly that. Bare boat. The rain-gear normally found on a North American charter boats is absent.

The physical scars of war are not evident as we stroll around the traffic-free marble streets of Zadar's old town. Zadar has changed hands many times since it was first settled by Illystrians in the 9th century BC and traces of successive inhabitants are to be found everywhere and displayed with pride. One would never suspect that 60% of its buildings were destroyed by allied bombing in WWII and that Zadar was under siege by the Serbs after the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1993. The economic scars of war that you might expect are also conspicuously absent. On the contrary, many [View Full Entry]

We left Zagreb on the 06:50 train and thought we would miss our connection to Zadar because we arrived at Knin 25 minutes late, however the train was waiting for us and so we arrived in Zadar as planned in the early afternoon. The trains took us through green, hilly countryside and past little stations in the middle of nowhere that have not yet been repaired from Croatia's most recent war. The temperatures in Croatia are unseasonably warm and feel very pleasant to us after Egypt. The picture shows some excavations by the five wells in the old town of Zadar. [View Full Entry]

Well hello Blogettes. It is with a heavy heart that I am writing my blog this morning. It is the morning of the 10th of May and we are sitting inside the Astra Yachting section of Marina Dalmajica and we have to leave the boat in a couple of hours. We arrived here last night, opting to have our last night in the marina; get the boat fuelled up and fill her with water and have a chance to get packed up, and organised in some form of orderly fashion rather than a last minute panic and *^$% fight. Taking up [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone, Just a very quick hello to say we are now on the boat, had a long but enjoyable bus trip yesterday and arrived late last night. Spent the night on the boat and the day going into the markets and provisioning her. The boat is beautiful. We are heading out into the Kornati Island group which is very remote and very few,if any facilities so it might be a few days before we get a chance to do a big blog!!!. We have our crew caps courtesy of Lloyd, Angelic, Rubes and Phoebe as well as our special Pirate [View Full Entry]

Croatia Travels - Part 1 - Zadar

We knew we weren’t in London any more when our plane landed in a paddock and the police had the traffic stopped as our pilot drove the plane across a road to the terminal! We arrived in Zadar on Monday night the 24th September for the beginning of our two week trip around Croatia. We headed straight for our hostel to drop off our bags before heading off to try our first local pivo (beer) and check out Borik, the area of Zadar we were staying in. The hostel was right across from a big marina and just near a nice [View Full Entry]

We decided to Split, Split and head further up the coast to Zadar. Bing had read in the lonely planet that Zadar is the place to see and a good base for exploring the islands. Unfortunately, they were both wrong..but that's ok. Zadar had an even more menacing entrance than Split, (which is REALLY saying something) We were advised that the place to stay was Borik which we decided to repronounce as Borat, cause it was easier and we are enjoying making fun of the locals. Borik/Borat was by the sea and quite nice although it has only got a pebble [View Full Entry]
