Wow Sibenik! Wow! So beautiful! An iconic looking Mediterranean style small town built on a slope leading up to the medieval forts of St Michael's and St John's. Our "micro room" was in the middle of the old town with our shutters opening out to a romantic court yard cafe. Our tiny room was equipped with everything we needed for a 1 night stop.

Well, I'm sitting in a little coffee bar hiding from the heat and, hopefully, sending the first blog from Dubrovnik. The trip over here was pretty good although I didn't sleep much at all, so arrived really stuffed but pleased to be here. We arrived in very high temperatures and that has remained the case for the last couple of days. Night time temps are high so sleeping can be a bit hard, but that may be because if the trip. We have made some good progress on getting the boat ready for the water. Boy is it hard work. BUT!!! There is the compensation of the surrounds in the Marina here. Fantastic swimming pool and great vacilities. So up at 6 and into the work so that it isn't to hot then when we are ... read more
