Check-in; everything that could go wrong, did. I was late coming back from Mostar, and I got around 10 phone calls en route back to Split from the Katarina Lines girls (they couldn't get in touch with Simon because he had started his holiday already and his phone was off). One pax had booked with friends but wasn't on the same boat as them (their fault), another pax had the same problem (travel agent's fault) and others didn't like their rooms, or the boat wasn't how they expected or they were claustrophobic and didn't have enough door space. It was, well and truly, a gong show, but when I finally arrived I managed to switch some people around and appease everyone and I think they were all okay in the end. Some of them wrote on ... read more

Kroatien Desvaerre har vi ikke haft adgang til internettet og har derfor ikke kunne opdatere vores blog. Ligenu camper vi paa en oe i Kroatien ved navn Korcula. Vi ankom i gaar aften og campingpladsen ligger lige ned til vandet. Her de seneste par dage har vi set forskellige dele af Kroatien. Foerst Zagreb, hvor vi boede paa hostel. Det var en fin men meget varm by fyldt med kaerestepar over det hele - saa vi skyndte os videre. Derefter tog vi ud til kysten hos Nannas ven Luka. Han og sin familie har et sommerhus der ligger bogstavelig talt fem meter fra vandet. Det var meget rart at blive opvartet og faa vasket toej og serveret mad tre gange om dagen. Vi besoegte en nationalpark, Krka, hvor der er kaempe vandfald og hvor vi badede. ... read more
